The Challenge | The Trainers and Students | Event Information Monday, July 14
She came along very nicely, the first day I worked with her on line building some communication. She accepted most things with ease. I even saddled her and she took it like a trooper. The second day she saddled well and let me get on and walk and trot her with a very willing attitude.
On July 3rd I introduced her to the mechanical cow for the first time. It was a bit scary for her at first but it didn't take her long to lock on - she might even have some talent in working cows. If someone is looking for an all around good horse I would keep my eye on this one. Especially if you like a thick curly red mane and big brown eyes! She is a cutie.
> Back to the Trainers and Students About Hope: Hope was born in August 2004. She initially was handled quite a bit, and was very accustomed to a halter and being led. She was then moved to a different foster home where she wasn't handled for quite a while. She's forgotten how much she knows, but she has always been treated kindly and is very sensible, calm and curious, and isn't afraid of anything! We think that she's going to mature into quite a beauty!
About Jack: Growing up on a dairy farm in Paynesville Minnesota is where Jack first learned about equine behavior by riding and training the family pony. He moved to a farm in Texas when he was 12 and there he worked with the farm's draft horses. As he grew older, the horse bug got stronger and at 18 he acquired his own horse and began learning all that he could. Jack has been fortunate over the years to have learned from many great horsemen. From them, he has developed his own philosophy and teaching style which he calls "2DARE Horsemanship". His methods are a blend of natural horsemanship and classical dressage. He has worked with many different breeds from quarter horses to warm bloods to gaited horses. He enjoys helping problem horses and also putting a good foundation on young horses or horses that have missed essential elements in their training. Jack teaches, trains and gives clinics designed to help people build a better relationship with their horse. For more information, please visit www.jacklieser.com.

I picked up Hope on the 10th of June. She pretty much just jumped in the trailer and I didn't hear a peep out of her all the way home. She came at a good time, two days earlier I started a two week long Foundation Class. I had two students that had four horses to work with every day. The horses were young and had not been started and there were also a few problem horses. So I got to demonstrate with Hope! 
When she got here she was shy and did not have a lot of confidence. Over the weeks she has opened up into a sweet willing horse. On the trail she is relaxed and enjoys being out. She shies here and there, but that's getting better each ride. This past week or so I started riding her in a bit.
