Frank Bell, a nationally known clinician, is one of the mainstays of our program. His enthusiasm for handling horses is probably only second to his enthusiasm for learning. At the workshops he's like a mad scientist in a research and development lab, constantly
interacting with the other clinicians and working his magic on
the horses.
This year was no different. He gentled a number of horses and facilitated most of this work through the hands of the participants gathered around and inside his training pen. |

Frank also loves to play cards. During meals and other breaks you could pretty much figure that a hot cribbage game would be going on somewhere, and it would include Frank and John Sharp!

| Water is often scarce where wild horses range. Their population can't be allowed to exceed the water supply as this limited resource is crucial to other species and sensitive riparian areas can be damaged during horses' desperate searches for water. |
