Hi, happened by while browsing photo’s. I was seeking some references for an art project I want to work on, and one of your caught my attention – thus got me here – and then I read, and browsed, and found myself quite caught up in various areas. One of which, I may be interested in graphic and web design work(?) – Lot’s of variables in this not something I am about to discuss in a blog comment.

For fun though, Historically, I spent a lot of time with horses myself – although I was never great with it. I am one of the few who can say I have been trampeled, bitten, kicked, thrown numerous times, reared over and fallen on top of (my only serious injury) and I’m sure I could go on and on. Now, while I still love the idea of riding again – I just dont think I have the dedication required to take care of a horse properly, so I dont. It would be creul.

I work in toxicology with a passion for the learning that goes with it, but I also have a passion for the arts. If I had not gone into science, I would have gone into design of some sort. I have explored everything, but my favorites at the time are glass etching (what brought me here) and composing/playing music – keys and cello.

I also tend to write “novels” when commenting/e-mailing. :) Just can’t seem to keep it short.

That’s my story, I look forward to hearing from you – directly.

Thanks for stopping by Mr. Larson. I’ve seen your URL someplace, and I’ve been meaning to visit. Have you linked to one of my Open House posts maybe?

I was a Wisconsin cow poke. Now, an engineer. Photography is my avocation, just like my Dad. Putting old family photos on CD and sending them to my nieces and nephews to keep the family together.

I’d like to talk with you…

I’m in Illinois, and I’ve been over here several times, but didn’t notice the graphic designer part until just now!

No military, just communications. I’m a full time designer in print and web publications. I’m also an avid photographer, and I have great respect for people who can do that sort of work under hostile conditions.

Hey HDW,

You’re so interested in military photographers that I wondered if you also have a military communications background.

Military communicators (graphic or otherwise) are gathering at the Defense Information School (DINFOS) Alumni Gathering Place at http://www.dinfos.net

Thanks for your time and attention, Vito

Horse training? John Lyons: His book Lyons on Horses is particularly good, but he has lots of resources available. I've seen seminars by both John and his son Josh. They're both very good. Richard Shrake: I took my first seminar with Shrake when I was about 14. He was very impressive then, and just as much so when I've seen him work since. His Resistance Free method works very well. One sort of non-traditional person I'd recommend is Gawani Pony Boy. I saw him work a couple of times a few years ago. He might work from a different perspective than the others, but in the end, his handling of the horse is very similar. His grasp of herd dynamics, and basic of horse behavior is the best I've seen. Pat Parelli is also supposed to be very good, but I've never seen him work.

Hi!
I have three young horses that I need to train to ride. They’ve never been rode except for what I’ve done. I’m still in the process, and I’m looking for a good reference book for proper training. I really don’t know what I’m doing. I’ve had horses since I was 4 years old (I’m 42 now) but I’ve never got into breaking. My sister and father used to do it but now my fathers gone and my sister was in a car accident and can’t walk let alone ride. Now I’ve got three new horses and I will have to do it myself. Do you know any good books or have any advice you can give me? Hiring somebody else to do it is not an option and besides I want to learn.

You've completely revamped your website since I visited last; Excellent work!!!

Thank you. I do web design for a living, among other things, but this site is always one of my biggest challenges. Too many ideas, too little time.
