	Truly Priceless Sire: Only Blue Sky Dam: Slew of Grace Bred/Owned by Stephanie Moore Shown by Nancy Sue Ryan 2007 Southern Belle HUS LL Reserve Champion (tie) Robin, I wanted to say thank you for the really good advice you gave me during our lessons. My yearling went to his very first horse show and was just so good, he listened to his cues and settled in extremely well and acted like he had been to shows all his life.. Your advice on whoaing, and space really helped. Stephanie, Sure A Winner Farm
	Robin and Roger, I am writing to once again thank you for the wonderful longe line clinics that you put on in the spring of 2006. I attended 3 of the 4 clinics and I learned a lot. I spoke with you at one of the clinics about retraining my 2 year old and your advice was to not retrain him but incorporate things I had learned into his training. That was excellent advice. I took my 2 year old dun gelding to the KY IBHA show this past weekend and I was very pleased with his behavior. He had not been off the farm since last June and he is a pretty high energy horse so I was not sure what to expect. Your approach to longe line about being calm and keeping your horse calm works well with him and even though we did not win I was thrilled with how he behaved. I also was calmer while showing which is a big improvement for me as I get very nervous before and while showing. I even had a couple people comment on how calm and in control I looked in the show arena! I also showed Sparky in the halter classes to practice standing and patience and he did well with that also. I am hoping to show my buckskin yearling gelding at the September shows. I have not spent the amount of time with him that I would have liked to but I am hoping to remedy that. He has a good start but we have a ways to go. I did take him to the show just to get him out and he had a few rough moments but we got through it. I hope all is well with both of you and once again a sincere thanks, Debbie Lubrano
	Mike Alexander received a longe line for attending all the clinics in our winter series. The results of his first show are in...Congratulations to Mike on winning 1st out of 16 his first time out!
	Hi Robin I was able to attend one of your LL clinics in February and I thought I'd comment on how useful some of the advice was that you gave has been. Our mare had a nice colt this May and one thing I have been very adamant about is not standing to close to him to let him chew on me. I stand back by his hip and rub his back, and I really am not having too much trouble with the chewing thing. It did seem like simple common sense advice, but I probably wouldn't have thought of it had I not went to the clinic. I always think of how you said why stand there and tempt them, and that makes a lot of sense. Wish I could have made it down for more of your clinics, but other commitments and family came up. But anyway, just wanted to comment on how useful that advice has been, along with the rest of what you covered. Wish you much luck with your show season- Mandy Gerdeman

I know I'll be coming to more of your clinics. It's so great to meet other forum members and to watch other horses.'

“Just got back and it was well worth the money. No I take that back…it paid for itself in the first ten minutes! Everything after that was bonus. Every farm, barn, riding instructor, 4-H leader, trainer and horse lover should have a video of instruction from the Gollehons and their Building Block System. Robin and Roger did a fantastic job of explaining and taking time to make their program clear and able to be applied to any level of horseman. From the basics of common sense to more advanced techniques of performance enhancement, this was a great clinic for anyone that attended. Thank you to Robin and Roger for taking the time to share your experience and expertise.”
~Michelle Steigmeyer Fort Wayne, Indiana.

“We talked all the way home about the seminar and have both practiced diligently since. I can’t wait to do the practice session each day and it’s so fun to see the difference in the yearlings from session to session. And it’s so easy! Robin and Roger have a great building block program and we’ll be using it’s pieces for years to come.”
~Wayne & Khris Fields

“Thanks for putting on such a nice clinic! I got so much out of it. My yearlings are already better. It will be so relieving to be able to wear clean white shirts at a horse show and not have my yearling all over me!”
~Erin Thacker, Martinsville, Indiana

“Thanks so much for putting on this clinic! It was truly a great experience and I can’t wait to start working with Parker and my other yearlings. I wouldn’t hesitate to take another trip down. Thanks again.”
~Jamie Van Linn, Neenah, Wisconsin

“My yearling is a changed horse in just two weeks! I keep pinching myself! Thanks again…participating in your clinic was the best Mother’s Day gift that my husband Pat and the kids could have given me!”
~Marion Welsh, West Point, Indiana

“Thank you so much for the fantastic job you did yesterday. We feel like we know where to go with our yearling now and we’re certainly happy about being able to work with these young horses without hurting them. You have a great operation founded on strong principles. We’ll keep you up to date on Bella’s progress. We’ll be taking cues from her but hope she continues to progress as quickly as she did yesterday.”

“Aside from the whole show ring aspect, it gave me some new ideas on how to make the transition to starting a horse under saddle easier and ways to teach them about self-carriage…something I hadn’t been able to figure out when dealing with a horse on the line. Instead I had always viewed that as a sign that I just needed to start riding to develop that aspect.
