conversation with Bob Claymier

Obviously at this point Zazen and I needed some professional intervention. I had seen that Frank Bell, a natural horsemanship trainer and clinician, is going to be giving a clinic in Catlett in May. From his website, I found Bob Claymier's website. Mr Claymier is an Accredited Instructor of Frank Bell's Seven Step Safety System. After several emails, I went to Desert Rose Ranch in Hume to talk to Mr. Claymier about Zazen. I had offered to give Zazen to him, because I felt I was over-horsed. As I expected, he's full keeping up with his own horses! But he graciously gave me his time to talk about a plan of action for him. I purchased Frank Bell's book and DVD from him, and after reviewing them feel like I have a few new tools in my toolbox now. Mr. Claymier is also willing to come and assess Zazen; it will be wonderful to get another opinion from a professional set of eyes.
