Shayla and I hauled up to Janice's with Josie, Clancy and a gelding called Tonka that Shayla is working with. We had a 2 hour lesson from Bruce Koch with the mares, working on basic ground work moves with the goal of improving our horsemanship and timing. I find that I really need to improve my timing and improve how I use my energy. Clancy got quite bored, you know how when you have to repeat something you give a heavy sigh and roll your eyes- well if she could have rolled her eyes, she would have. But I got the help I needed. Shayla had an interesting work with the gelding, but that's her story to tell.
Janice's mare Jazz is half sister to Josie, both of them are Beamer daughters and they sure show it!
Jazz is 6 years old now, and Josie is a long 2 year old.
This next photo is my favourite:
Josie did well at the clinic, her quality shines through, and the good work that Shayla has put into her really showed. We came away from it with some things to work on, and some ideas for what to do next.

Excellent, one day I will make it to one of his clinics he sounds so helpful and real. I love the pic of them both posing, you should do that with Josie and Clancy they are so much alike as well.
Josie is really turning into a classy, beautiful mare. Love her.
How sweet! You take some wonderful horse pictures.
These photos are stunning Shirley! The light & background really makes the color pop on both horses. It blends and enhances the highlights, especially on Jazz. Sounds like a good clinic. Timing is everything!
Love those mares!
Great shots Shirley....as usual. I'll say it again you are wasting your remarkable talents....which is really annoying to someone with none lol.
Oh man, those are beautiful photos, especially the last one. You can definitely tell they're related. Beautiful!
Pretty girls! Definitely Beamer babes.
That Jazz is a looker too! Beautiful photos of those Beamer girls! :)
