Dear Devon,

When i saw the pics of Ghost and the other babies you have taken in and helped and are helping, and know the decision, and sacrifices you have made i am truly moved. It really is a heart moving moment to hear that a voiceless creature of God is now in good hands and regardless of the sacrifices we make, we are so moved in our hearts to be a part of the daily change for the better these animals are making. Its such a joy to know their are people in the world like you. Thanks from the voiceless animals. Debbie, United Humanitarians, Central Florida

Dear Devon,

Wow! Thank you for all you are doing to help PMU horses. If you like, you can share your horses’ stories on our message board and meet PMU adopters:

Thank you for your involvement!

Devon, I was so moved by Ghost's first video....It made me cry and haunted me for days.  

I was so happy to see him back to his full glory in the new one.  What a boy! 

Nothing like a tail to tell you how good an animal feels.

I hope you don't mind, but I sent links to those videos before and after to a 
private section of a forum of about 25,000 members around the world.  No private 
info given out, just the videos and a short explanation of what you have 
accomplished with this horse.

I don't know that anything will become of it, but I think Horses in Harmony will 
get a few hits from the post.

How I wish I could adopt that boy..... Aimee, Altamonte Springs, FL

OH My Gosh!!! What a great day. I really want to thank you for creating the video, Devon. It is so helpful to actually see and hear the lesson again. I'm sure I will have watched it a dozen more times before next Tuesday but it really helps to clarify what you are saying and how my position looks. Thank you for your help. Have a wonderful weekend. I am so excited!

I really enjoyed the lesson on Saturday, and I had a great ride on my mare that day too, applying everything I learned. I was pretty amazed that she was able to do a perfectly round 20m circle just by my vision aid!!

Email from Alex dated 21 July 2008:

WOW!!! I need to video myself more often.  I see a lot of my mistakes.  My dad was very impressed with your teaching, he actually paid attention.

Thanks again for all your help!  So glad to have met you for so may reasons…how fortunate I happened across your website that day! Karen L, Lake Mary

 I am on cloud nine, feeling great and thank you.  Videos are awesome!! Thanks for sending them. Hard not to get emotional when watching them. 

I look forward to my next lesson.  Hope I can learn to hold the correct leg and heel down without coming out of stirrup I have the best teacher 

so I can finally overcome that, it has been an obstacle for me. Thank you again!  Cammie, New Smyrna Beach

Email from Danielle  dated 17 January 2009:

I like the way you communicate to your students, telling them how and why they are doing something not just telling them to do it. I will definitely get back to you in March about starting lessons.
Thanks-Danielle

Hey Devon,

Boy that sounds really great! Keep me posted on your clinics and stuff.  I really like Julie Goodnight.  John Lyons works, too.  I saw him one
time in Oregon for a couple hour seminar and the cost was only 10 bucks.  You are doing some really great stuff for the Horse World
.Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks,
Renee S.

Hi Devon

I just wanted to thank you for your wonderfully inspiring lessons today. I felt some big breakthroughs and can’t even express how grateful I am. I really enjoyed riding Sir and felt more connected on him today then I think I’ve ever felt on any horse. Your depth of knowledge continually impresses me and I am so excited to move forward.

PS- I get so excited after riding Sir. I feel like I’m walking on clouds. Such a great horse. Thank you for sharing him. You guys are the best teachers. I can never really express completely how grateful I am!!!!!

Devon,

I will certainly be sending photos and keeping in touch.

You all were very nice to us and I think what you are doing for these horses is amazing!  I’m sure it doesn’t come without a lot of heart break and it’s probably fulfilling to see a little girl’s dream of a pony come true.  To tell you the truth, your website is AWESOME!  I’ve looked at quite a few ponies, and a picture is OK, but video’s and bio’s of the horses-good or bad, just brings them to life in your mind.  He caught my eye when I saw the video and you are doing great things for these horses!!

Thank you so much again, and we will keep in touch.  He will be our little sweetie!

Take Care…Nicole Freed

Email from C. Dailey dated 5 March 2009:

Devon, How wonderful it is to come home to something like that, you are truly amazing. I became tearful.
You are probably one of the few people in the world that truly can speak "equine" it must be nice to speak to their souls. I hope to learn some of that from you and hope to 
keep him there as long as possible as he is learning. I am still in awe. Thank you so much I can not even tell you
I sit here in awe....still

Hi Devon,

Thanks for this wonderful virtual lesson, I enjoyed every bit of it and will watch it a few more times. It’s extremely helpful to hear your comments on all the many aids you are giving.

Keep on doing all the wonderful things you do.

Look forward to seeing you again,

I would love to leave my horse with you  a little longer and see what we can get from her with your techniques. I really enjoy the entire atmosphere there as compared to my barn. It is much more about the horses and their wants and needs. It is actually fun to ride. I can also tell that my horse is much happier with the turnout schedule there too. 

Email from Karen  dated 24 March 2009:

I'm so looking forward to seeing my happy baby.  She is so incredibly content there...I know it's because of the environment of love, calmness and tranquility.  I feel the same way when I am there...so even though the road to get to the place where we are now was at times a bit rocky..it was worth the travel!!  These are the journey's that shape us, and difficult as they are I always look back on my most trying times and realize those are the experiences that inspired the most positive change and growth.  Thanks for being such an inspriring person and a great friend.

Hi Devon, 
 
I don't even know how to thank you for today!! 
Thanks--Thanks--Thanks-- 
I felt so good to see she remembered everything... it was a bit embarrassing I wish she had acted the way she does with us... 
But it was so good to see her behaving at that barn, it gave me hope she will be Ok... It was also good to see you work so now 
I have a better idea how to do it... Today was great... 
Roxanne ( the lady that came to see it) was very impressed, she does dressage with her horse... 
She is very interested in having a session with you next time you come, so I told her I'd ask you...She said she can take the time off of work and be there 
I'm looking forward to the video... can't wait to show Arthur... he is really excited to see it also... 
Again, many many Thanks for all your help, we are truly appreciative,

Hi Devon
Thanks again for riding my horse today.
It made my day how good you made him look.
Have a good weekend.
 

Email from Karen Cotts Lindeman Bennett dated 14 May 2009:

FYI: Jazzy was a STAR today!  Even the most curmudgeonly of judges would have been wowed! : ) We had such a great ride-our transition to canter was the best its ever been. So, I know what you're thinking...the same thing I am thinking...what did the rider do differently---cause that horse obviously knows
what she's doing! Well, I gave rein on the inside-sat way back firmly in the saddle and made a conscious effort NOT to hang on the reins. Hmmm seemed to
work!  : ) guess I was more focused but relaxed today. Also Jazz is more of a morning girl than late afternoon. : ) !! Just wanted to tell someone who could appreciate it! Have a great day! K

Email from Carol Oster dated 8 July 2009:

OH MY GOODNESS GIRLFRIEND!!! That is so AWESOME!!!
   I can't even begin to know how much blood, sweat and tears that you have put into what you have. The many sleepless hours and staying the night in the barn. The work that you have done, the dedication that you have given. I not only know that you got it, I also know that you have damn well earned it!  I  am so thrilled for you Devon,     CONGRATULATIONS!!! Enjoy Yourself in Naples!  Arnette :0)
   P.S. I had to tell Jody!!!! We are so tickled for you!

Hi Devon
