You know Elaine has been off training for her Therapeutic Riding Instructor certification at Reins of Life in Indiana. We talk every day, frequently about what is happening with her training.
At first the going was a bit tough. She learned that what she is doing in a month "normally" takes 12 to 18 months. Her mentor Amanda is the senior TR instructor at Reins so her client list has all the most difficult cases. These are the clients Elaine is training with. Again, "normally" many of these clients would never be assigned to a newly certified instructor, let alone an instructor-in-training. But, "ah, you can handle it!"
And she has been! On Wednesday evening when we talked, she sounded great! She is now seeing some of the clients for the second and third time and that makes so much difference.
I won't go into long boring detail (Thank you, John!); it wouldn't make much sense anyway. Suffice it to say she had two really great productive teaching sessions that day. She was really happy about it.
And that made my best moment of the day. I was so glad to hear her sounding and feeling really good about a teaching session. That truly is magical!
