Thanks Larry, the idea that you started from nothing really and came to where you are, is very inspiring. I ride English and always have done but am really interested in learning Western which I am beginning to think removes a lot of the difficulties and allows for a great deal more fun for the rider and ease for the horse. I am glad of your newsletter.

Hi Larry, I just wanted to comment on how much I appreciate this newsletter. I myself am currently in a similar position; I've not the slightest idea how to train a performance horse, but I'm doing what I can from all the knowledge I gain just to be able to get into the ring and hopefully move up from there. Ideally, I'd like to be in with a trainer but given my location and situation it's proven difficult. Anyway, rather than whine about it I'm doing something about it! This newsletter really hit home though because your old friend, Rick Kaderabek, just started working on my horse and he was telling me about a similar situation when he was younger. He told me about when he was younger and when he was sent to bring a bull in everyday across a large stretch of land, and unknowingly, was taught how to make a 'real cowhorse'. Anyway, Thank you again for your knowledge, insight, and inspiration, keeps younger guys like myself pushin' forward.

Larry Trocha, Gerald here, I wish I'd meet you years ago because your just the kind of person horses need!!! I don't know that much about poeple. But I do know if poeple care enough about their horses the horses will teach them to be a better person!!! Larry Trocha Keep on keeping on!!!

thanks for the tips, i'm getting along with my horses well thanks to you and some others that i'm watching and trying all that i see. you told me that if i could not afford to get the help i maybe didn't need to have them, but it is a matter that i really want to make a difference in these 2 rescue horses lives and it is working, and so far i think i made the right choice to try. i understand we all need to make a living, and you are no exception, i.m sorry for it sound that way. there is enough free stuff our here to get me close anyway. thanks
