Everyone in life needs guidance to meet their potential and sometimes we are very lucky that something or someone crosses our path, that has a profound positive influence that is beyond even their original intention. For us, in the UK, we have found that the experience of a lad from the other side of the world, with a big hat and American accent, has changed our lives, has been gratefully received by our horses and has changed frustration and disbelief into harmony and contentment. Turning our once solidly held beliefs on its head and letting our horses teach us. It has opened hours of happiness that would simply not exist if it was not for you both Pat & Linda.

A horse swishes its tail in Colorado and the wholel UK community feels its breeze.

Its not just you as people, but the message, the philosophy, the joy, the excitement, the energy and care you bring to us, and our horses lives, that this Book of Thanks quite inadequately tries to thank you for.
Although as people you give us the inspiration, love and leadership to keep going and explore the world of the Natural horse and man ship, it is your sharing of the profund truths that we will always be grateful to you for. The diamonds in the dark that you have not kept to yourself but shared with unfailing energy and enthusiasm is why the UK comunity even exists today.

The critics, the jealous, the naive and the ignorant all shower you with sharp arrows to try and bring you down and point to the marketing adn the money you have made out of all this. How can they stay blinded to the joy, happiness and pleasure both horse and owner has gained, day after day, hour after hour from even the slightest exposure to this gathering of your experience, knowledge and insight. Good luck to you both adn may you be as rich as anyone as we see inside you. The real reward is not the material gain but when you experience that moment you and your horse are together in harmony. This treasure we see every time you are here in a conference such as this, sharing this joy. Priceless indeed.

There have been many horse experts in this world both smaller, equal and many greater than you both but one of the unique and wonderful things you bring is accessibility. For the first time for many people that hidden and magical knowledge and experience comes alive in your teaching packs, the simple and inspiring system of learning, the home study packs, the web easts, the Savvy Club and the ingeniuos products that come pouring from you endlessly and tirelessly. This accessibility means that at last, the normal horse folk. the every day to day equestrian, the part time enthusiast can start to master the magic. At last we can understand and live the natural approach, and our horses breathe a sigh of relief as to say "at last they understand us".

we are all human and not only do we get frustrated with our progress, with our horses, but also our resolve gets testedwith all that has happened with the UK Savvy community. Without the undying support you have given , this small island would have lost its way many times. We thank you from the bottom of our horses heart's for keeping your support steady, positive and showing us as a community love, longevity and leadership.

The best way for us to reach your heart, the best appreciation we can show you and the most profound thanks can best be expressed by us treatign our horses how they deserve, forming our special relationships with our horses, understanding them, beign open to change and changing our ways to horses ways. But at this moment we would like to offer this token of our heart felt appreciation by presenting you both with an unique book made by ordinary people in the UK who thank god they were touched by even a small part of your horsemanship. Thank you both.
