Howdy all who may still be lurking or take a peek here in desertedville, every now and then.

I apologize for my lack of loggins. But life has picked up and I think that it's time for me to bid a fond adieu to the discussion board.

I have an account on Facebook that I visit from time to time. I can post pictures easily there, and can chat with some of you there, as I already have. Please ask me to be your friend if you haven't already, if you would like to be mine.

My business has picked up very quickly once I returned from Vermont(was there for 3 weeks for training for a client and her horse) so, that's another reason for the lack of involvement here. I'm shocked really, as the barn where I board now has plenty of clients for me and there's more coming soon. I feel blessed and I can't help but think that maybe just maybe, I'm doing something right. I mean, I'm not advertising and my clients are finding me clients and the people at the barn are finding me clients, too! I love that community of people. As that's what we've all become....a real community and I just am so friggin happy to be counted among them.

Anyhow, thank you all for sticking around with this board, I have always appreciated your support and I continue to think of all of you as my long distance friends as well!

Please feel free to contact me anytime about anything. I can be reached through my email through my website:

I'm working on new videos. I'll be starting to train a fancy foo foo Egyptian arabian named "Angel" and will be video taping her progress. She's just turned 2 and her owner has no plans for riding until Angel is fully grown! How cool is that? I applaud her for that!

also, I am working on my endorsements from Dennis Reis, to get that going when he comes to town in November.

So, between that and the client horses, I don't have much time anymore to give to the board. But I will pop into Facebook every so often. I hope to "see" you there!

Sincerely,
Ivonne

I just read your message! Seriously, I wish you much success on this new venture! Glad you have found your niche in a friendly community. They obviously recognize and appreciate your skills! Thank you for taking the time to answer my PM's and helping me gain insight into my horse's behavior. Will look forward to learning about your progress with new clients and the Dennis Reis program on Facebook. When will the board disappear from the web? I want to save/print advice I've received. Thanks again for all your help!

Thanks!

I don't want to just unplug the board and delete it. I'll just let it hang around. There's lots of great info from everyone, I think it'd be rude to just zap it from existence. So, I'll just leave it.
As far as I know, the board can stay up forever as long as someone posts something every now and then. It's when months go by and nothing gets posted that the board goes kaput.

Happy the board will still exist. Hope others are seeing your post and keep it alive.

Thanks for pointing this out.I need to make back ups of my Aikdo diary just in case. Ivonne I live on FB more than message boars anymore so I totally understand. I'm sure I'll see ya over there. So happy for you that your business is doing so well.

Hi Ivonne! Glad your Vermont trip went safely and you are back into the swing of things at home again!
I'm sad that this board is not going to continue.....I've been checking in every day looking for action
I'm on facebook, but I'm clueless. I'm not sure how to ask someone to "be my friend" on there, but if I figure it out I'll ask you eventually!
Heidi and I are doing great with Wyoming and Scout most every day (except today....the wind was blustering up to 45mph....I cleaned my file cabinet instead .
I'm reading "Centered Riding" and finding out exactly how little I know and hoping to improve in that regard. Someday this will be me = HA!
Thanks for letting us know what's up with you....
will miss the great smilies....

On FB on the top right corner is a little search box. Type in the name of the person you want to find. Once you find them click their link to go to their page. It will give you a partial page. Somewhere on the left side or near the top should be a button that says friend request. Click that. It also should give you a send message option. I generally like if people tell me their message board user name so I know who I am letting in my FB.

My name btw is Cherie Cornmesser for those who might want to know.
