My trainer has been in sunny Temecula with Tamie Smith for the last few weeks, and it’s videos like these that always make me wonder just what they are doing over there… I don’t think any of us quite know what’s going on here as Tamie and Bec Braitling seemingly prep for a lesson with Johann Hinnemann, but I do know that we all want to be a part of it. At this point, I’d take doing anything in California (even mopping horses?) over the cold spell we’re suffering through here in Utah. By the time my trainer returns, my barnmates and I will have moved into her client’s very nice facility that she claims as her home base, and will be very happily enjoying their indoor arena. If not for this, I think there are at least a few of us who might have begun to more seriously consider a westward migration towards the warmth!
