Hello,
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I enjoyed my
first Josey Clinic. I attended the one at Mason, TN and I was so
impressed with the Josey Team. Gary, Chris and Ty were
wonderful! I have attended other clinics and have NEVER felt so
welcome or encouraged at any of them. I feel really blessed that
I was introduced to the correct way of running barrels and hope to
keep improving each day.
Unfortunately my mare came up sore on the second day and she
didn't show much improvement for the last run on Sunday. Although
I was very disappointed, I am still extremely glad that I got to
go. I hope you all know how lucky you are to have such a great
group of guys representing you, your ranch, and your Christian
beliefs! I am going to try an attend again when I can afford it
and hope to come to the reunion next year.
Thanks again for a great experience!
God bless

Mrs. Josey,
My daughter, Lynleigh Parker, recently attended your clinic held in
Mason, TN. I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful clinic
that it was and how much we appreciate your willingness to share
your knowledge with kids and adults alike! Gary, Ty & Chris were
absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! They are so kind, patient and supportive.
You could not have better people working in your clinics. I will
definitely recommend this clinic to everyone I know and hope that
Lynleigh will be able to attend again next year in Mason.
As a parent, I appreciated the way that they worked individually
with each person and did not give one any more attention than the
other. They were always willing to answer any questions that the
students had or that we, as parents and spectators had! The cowboy
church and motivational talk was GREAT! It was good to hear them
express their christian values in a world that doesn't give that
much thought anymore!
I cannot say "Thank You" enough for this opportunity for my
daughter. Please let Gary, Ty & Chris know how much they were
appreciated. So many times, people are quick to criticize and let
you know the bad things but simply forget to praise when people do
terrific jobs! I want to let you know that you can be very proud of
the job that they are doing.
Thanks again!

Dear Team Josey
Family;
I wanted to write and thank you for the follow up letter I received
in the mail today. It is such a pleasure to receive a nice letter
thanking me for attending the recent Josey Clinic in Morro Bay, CA.
This was my second
year attending this clinic and I have to say it is the BEST clinic I
have ever attended. I learn so much and re-enforced the training I
received last year. The Team Josey instructors are extremely
knowledgeable with out being egotistical. They take each
horse/rider team and work with them, not just cookie cutter
sessions. It is a joy to work with them in a caring, friendly
exchange instead of feeling “less than” the clinician.
I am looking
forward to next year’s clinic and I understand there may be another
CA date added. I hope to be first to sign up because I know there
will be a big crowd!! Someday I hope to join you at a Round Up!
Thanks again for
everything!

I would like to thank the Team Josey for all
the wonderful kindness that they showed to myself and everyone else.
I had never gone around a barrel in my life; I had hauled my girls
but was so busy taping their runs, that I had no idea what it
involved. I never was the mom that would try to tell them how to do
it or what they did wrong. My voice wouldn't carry that far or loud
anyway. It was just the opposite they would tell me I didn't hold
the camera still enough, you cut it off to soon, you need to zoom in
on the time.
So lots of money, horses, and years later. So, I decided I better
do it now at 59 will be 60 in October.
I have two daughters that have come to the ranch, one this year and
one in 2004. My youngest didn't think that even physically that I
would be able to hold up. She said remember Tina cried and wanted to
go home the next day. Anyway I had a great time. I really learned so
much now to just practice perfect Loved the Sunday service. Again
every one was so kind and patient. Just a great bunch of young
folks. They really do Martha and R E proud.
God Bless all of you and thanks so much.

My daughter Jackie and I have just returned from the clinic held in
Starkville. Just wanted you to let you know what a great experience it
was. Ty, Chad and Chris were fantastic. Our immediate success was not
achieved but I feel confident that putting lessons learned at the
clinic will turn out to be more beneficial than I even first imagined.
The course covered many areas of horse and rider than I expected.
Thank You again for the pleasurable and educational weekend.
Sincerely,
Jim Anderson
