Peter Campbell/Robert Chavez
Welcome to the Peter Campbell clinic, held in Tehachapi, May 8-11, 2010 hosted by Robert Chavez. A blustery weekend..we had wind, and cold, some thunder, a little snow. We had the best lunches, thanks to Terry, the cook.. and a great spirit of "try". And we had the best time. The clinic was well attended. Peter offered colt starting, roping, horsemanship and cattle working. A no nonsense clincian, Peter works hard to make sure the clinic goers understand the principles behind the excercises..the reason why it works..the pieces to the puzzle laid out, so that you can see them, working on the corners then the edges, and by the fourth day, you get the picture. It was an honor for me to photograph this clinic. Watching Celeste and Peter working together to help the little bay filly make it, was a highlight. Seeing Manny the Mustang make progress, and the wonderful black and white colt, Thunder, start his life as a "rider" was a humbling experience. When Melissa got on Thunder for the first time, you will see rain..it was a little cloud burst...with REAL thunder...as if the pony called it down..so we knew he had made it..I love that little horse. Thank you to Maurice, Sandy, Kim, Celeste, Janine, Kelly, Shawn, Melissa, Robert and Chase and Colleen..for just making this a great clinic..auditors galore..it was friendly times. And most of all, thank you to Peter, who reminds us that softness starts in the heart.
