"From the Ground Up-Horsemanship"
Marry
Thank you so much for your help with my TB !
wow, only 7 steps to learn and we are out riding the trails now. who would have thought it possible. He slows when I ask, he listens to me! He is not afraid of his shadow, in fact a few bikes with those bobbing flags have passed us on the trail and my boy just looks, with curiousity and no fear. What a treat!!
Couldn't have done it without you!

This fall I attended a clinic put on by Marry Marrow. it was a full day clinic for 3 people. I really enjoyed the clinic and I feel like Joker made great strides. When we got there he was scared of so many things. When we left he was much better but the biggest thing that impressed me was the fact that when I came he was very hard to slow down. I was using a big bit and still didn't get far in the slow down department. Marry took him into the arena and worked him with just the halter and lead rope. By the time I left I was riding him with the halter and lead. in fact I have been trail riding him that way ever since. I still keep the bridle and bit on him just in case but 95% of the time I never pick up the reins. I really enjoyed the clinic.

Marry,
I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your seminar.
I have been around awhile and know a few things and most of all, know enough to know there are volumes that I don't know. I learned a lot from you. I appreciate your time.
Thanks

Everyone walked away with a better understanding of their horse. Our little Morgan/Mustang cross, Cody, had a major attitude adjustment. Our Gibson County rescue horse, Popeye, had such a great weekend that he particpated for the first time this week as a therapy horse!

I just want to let you know what a joy it has been to work with Marry Morrow over the last year+. She has generously donated her time and expertise for two weekend clinics and a one day demo. All proceeds have gone to benefit our therapeutic riding center.
Marry has made quite an impact on all attending her clinics here and we have had only very positive feedback. Her soft touch and kindness have opened the eyes of a few "old way" attendees. She has helped our participants overcome anything from being afraid of their horse to trying to dominated their horse, including a wide range of problems in between. We are looking forward to working with her again in 2009.
Sincerely,

I wanted to write and tell you … your seven step system, was the key I had been looking for to provide the knowledge that I needed to become a better partner for my horse. I had been led a-stray by so many trainers and had almost given up. My horse had many issues, some caused by me and some from before I owned her.
A friend introduced me to a training system I thought was the answer. I was missing something, but I was not sure what. I joined a horse riding group hoping for help and answers. I received many e-mails from this group and one was about Frank Bell coming to Indiana for a two-day clinic. I e-mailed Marry Marrow and told her, I would like to observe her before I committed to a clinic. I felt, what was offered in your program, should be shown in how Marry worked with horses. It was important for me, to see true understanding of a horse. Over the years, I saw many so-called trainers make a horse do things, but to teach a horse and have it understand was a big difference. I attended an open house at a Theropian Center where Marry donates time to help with horses that come from many different avenues. Seeing Marry work the seven step system with a horse that had many issues and watching her work the horse through those issues was truly amazing. She assessed, communicated and understood so much … I realized this 7-step system was what I had been looking for. I went home and started working with my mare and the transformation in my mare was AMAZING. My friends could tell a huge difference in me and my horse.
I signed up for my first clinic … a Frank Bell Clinic. I was so nervous; my horse had trailer issues, pull-back issues, and so much more. I took her the night before the clinic to get her calmed down (and me too). Marry was there to help me unload her and I was so thankful for the help. After one day at the clinic, my mare was so much further than I had ever imagined. The second day, I gained even more knowledge. My first clinic was a real eye opener and life changing moment in my life.
Since all of this started in early spring, I signed up for the Frank Bell AIC program and followed Marry to many clinics. I have learned a tremendous amount from Marry Marrow and really value what she has to offer. She has high standards and you can see that in how she works with people to help them better understand their horses. Your program made a difference in Marry’s life and she is making a huge difference at her clinics. Marry represents you well. Thank so much for sharing your 7-Step System.
