Getting Back in the Saddle – Technology Time

by Karen Pickering

I guess that would be figuratively speaking, but after losing some quality work and horse time between the car accident and surgery, I’m more than ready for life to return to normal. I’ve read a couple of books, jumped into Twitter (reading “Twitter Power” – find us at www.twitter.com/nwhorsesource) and am focusing on all of this new technology. Honestly,

I’d rather be riding up in the hills in this beautiful weather, but my second favorite thing to do is connect with horse people; that's where the technology comes in.

The team here at NWHS has worked very hard to redesign and bring you more resources and reasons to visit our website, www.nwhorsesource.com, on a regular basis. The ever-popular events calendar and articles section attract readers on a regular basis, but we’d like to make sure you're aware of all the resources we have! Soon we will be adding more video, a trainer tip of the day, and a horse care tip of the day. In the meantime, explore the links on our home page and the left-hand menu. You might find something you haven't seen before!

Recently, two of our clients and columnists have launched their own new interactive websites. I highly recommend visiting these resources for training tips and information:

Raye Lochert of Raye Lochert Horsemanship focuses on Natural Horsemanship and has new live options for his audience. Learn more about his offerings at www.RLHorsemanship.com. Raye brings a soft approach to working with your horse, both on the ground and in the saddle. He has been a guest columnist for NWHS and a great resource for those wanting to improve their relationships with their horses.

Allison Trimble of Coastal Equine Performance Horses has also launched a new website at www.coastalequine.com. Allison has been a columnist (On The Plus Side) for NWHS for over two years. Her expertise in reining and cow horse makes this a great destination to improve your horsemanship skills!

Both of these new resources are well worth the time it takes to visit. Let us know what you think! Send your comments to info@nwhorsesource.com.
