| From the friends of JB and Amy Lockie.... JB was recently diagnosed with colon cancer at the young age of 45. JB and his wife Amy recently bought their dream home in LeCenter and have been working very hard to make all their dreams a reality. JB works at Ziegler in Shakopee and Amy is a 4th-grade teacher in Lakeville. Now the future that they have worked so hard for has a hurdle that they need help overcoming from their friends, family, and the equine community. We want them to know how much we love them and want to help them through this trying time by having live music, featuring Jacknife and the Sharps, and a silent auction to help them out. Hopefully, this will help ease some of the burden they will have with JB's treatment and upcoming surgery.
Thanks to the generosity of local businesses and friends we have some fantastic items for the silent auction ranging from riding lessons, acid washes for trailers, golf passes, and massages...just to name a few! Talk’n Horses is providing this advertising free for JB and Amy and would like to THANK Jan Tiede for the “heads up”. So many gentle friends are near
Whom one could scarcely see
You should never feel alone
Wherever you may be! Please Join the friends of JB & Amy on Saturday, April 7th at the Grand Event Center in Northfield...map is below. |

Saturday, June 16, 2007 RUBY KENNEDY CLINIC at 2 Bit Quarter Horses in Jordan, Minnesota. CLICK HERE for flyer.
Ruby Kennedy’s training program is based on a solid foundation of communication. Respect from our animals as well as respect towards them encourages the animals to exhibit personality traits that are often times discouraged in an attempt to rush an animal through the training process. This respect also fosters a relationship of trust, which in turn creates basic manners and softness that are imperative.
Ruby Kennedy, has shown locally, regionally and nationally under many disciplines with many different breeds. She has trained numerous world champions and reserve champions in PtHA, AMHR, ApHC, POAC, ASPC, APHA and AQHA. She holds 6 judging cards and with that experience it has taught her exactly what is needed to bring home the gold!
Agenda
Training and instruction for beginners and advanced in Western Pleasure & English Pleasure. There will be a special session on Grooming including Pulling, Banding, and Braiding.
Clinic Format
The day will be broken into two sessions, Western & English. A third session addressing WSCA Rules, what the judge looks for, and grooming, including banding and braiding will be available to all participants at no cost. Riders may choose to ride in either session or both.
Each session is $40.00. Ride both sessions & receive a discount.
Limited to the first 20 paid registrations
Stalls available at $15 per day
