Some very satisfied clinic participants:
“Thank you soo much for all the tips from your clinic, they are Golden to me and are my scripture!! They work and I’m forever grateful. You speak in a language that makes perfect sense to me. I am watching your videos daily, well actually still on volume 2 because I swear I watch it over and over again because there is so much good stuff in there!! I don’t want to miss anything. Waking up thinking about it as well!! Now, if I could just get the collection part and not be pulling on the reins I would be a happy girl. Your book is helping too and I’ll take any other tips you got!!”

“I attended the C Lazy U Versatility Ranch Horse Clinic this past week end for which Sandy Collier was a clinician. Herm, my husband attended Sandy’s clinic the first morning and simply raved (not necessarily like him). We are not at the same level of competition so I did not have her until the next morning. He was right, not only is she extremely talented but has a real gift for teaching. I was in the novice class and all of us were just amazed at the progress we made. Even those who had never even worked a cow went away with a degree of success.
I had a cutting class that first morning and one of the students asked a rather detailed question. That instructor, Jack McComber, certainly a highly regarded clinician replied, “Well, I would handle that situation like this”. “However, you will be going to Cow Work with the top clinician in the country, you should also ask her.” How is that for a vote of confidence?”
Linnea Zueck (and Herm, too)
“THANK YOU so much for coming to Germany and for this awesome clinic!!! For me it was THE BEST ever!! Not sure why it was even so much better (even though the other two where great as well!!)? Maybe because my horses where further ahead, where I didn’t have to spend the whole time going backwards in circles or wrestling with them? Anyhow, after a day of letting this sink in some more I’m even more excited, grateful and happy about what we got done. Thank you soooooo much!!! You’re my hero (and have been for a long time!)!!! 😘😘😘 I really admire what you can get done on every horse and how many different approaches you have for each problem!! That’s soooo cool!! Make sure to plan on a date for a clinic in one year!!!”

“I can’t thank you enough for the time you spent with us at Paws Up. It’s amazing how much improvement can be made when someone takes the time to teach. Thank you and I hope our paths cross again soon.”
