Archie received a great email from someone who bought his DVD "Success Begins with Refining Your Aids" (yes, available in our Store). It brought a smile to his face and to mine!

Hi Archie:

I have just recently purchased and watched your video “Success Beings with Refining Your Aids”.  This is possibly the best video I have ever bought - and I have bought a ton.

Up until 20 years ago, I owned and operated a hunter show stable in Canada. A lot of the concepts that you seem adamant about, were the things that I endeavoured to teach my students – but I was never as articulate or able to convey the message as you. I only wish I had watched this video back then!

At the risk of boring the hell out of you, my daughter and I have started riding once again - after 20 years. She has a goal - she wants to show Adult equitation and Adult Hunters. I have a goal – I just want to be able to do green horses justice (and stay on when they are desperately determined to buck me off!!) At 56, this is quite a feat, but I love being part of every positive step that they make.

Your video has been a great inspiration as well as introducing new ideas into our comeback to the hunter world. I thank you so much.

I remember watching you as a young man when I was down in Harrisburg, and what I remember most was the positive, invisible ride you gave each of your horses. This is what I hope my daughter will emulate.

Thanks Archie!!

Best wishes,

Lynne Newman
