Lawrence aka Susan Moore
I'm a radio personality for Regent of Colorado and the owner
of
'Arabians of Lawrence', a self funded Arab horse rescue in
Ft. Collins.

Just today, my coming 3-year-old Music carried her first
rider. She was
pretty cool about it...did I mention her first rider at a
walk, trot, and
lots of canter? I'm awed, proud, elated, etc. |

Hello, Sean Davies
She'd had ground work...good groundwork. I wanted this to go
slowly,
she's such a baby. I was having doubts about my abilities
with such a
lovely little horse. I was afraid I'd 'screw her up', I'd
already done that
with Lily.
Hello, Sean Davies
O.K., girls, he IS charming, single, and loves horses!
Sounds like a
dreamboat, huh? He's also brutally honest. I expect that and
respect
that.
Hello, Sean Davies
When I started training with Sean in December of '08 my goal
was to
'collect' my grey Arab mare, Lily...she collects now. My
black mare
Tess already knew how to do it, but now I know how to cue
them both.
Wow, how fun!
Hello, Sean Davies
Besides communicating well with the horses, he communicates
well with
me...I DID mention he's brutally honest. Now this comes at a
cost and
I'm happy to pay for all I learn...the list is long. What do
YOU want to
do?...start a colt? ...become a lighter rider? ... rasp a
hoof?

I placed an ad on craigslist and
received several responses. Many sounded good, some sounded
horrible. If they offered to 'break' my horse I
deleted the response as fast as I could. I went and watched
a few work, nothing really felt just 'right' - then I received a response from Sean Davies.
I went and watched him work
with a student's horse and was impressed. What
impressed me was his knowledge, which he does not hesitate
to share. His patience and gentleness always encouraging
both the client and the horse to install confidence to build
a working relationship between his students and their horse.
Both horse and student are rewarded for our 'try'.
He has devoted hours of work
to my horse for a very affordable rate. I attend the almost daily training sessions.
The training facility is clean and safe, I feel good leaving
my horse there. Sean's work and training with my 'baby Jake' has gone beyond my
expectations. It is a great partnership. I look
forward to many many years with my new horse. |
