I did a thread on "handlers" or pimps recently. I understand here you are talking about a service. I see no reason to doubt the assertion, although I've never heard of it. Anything is possible these days. And as far as RM, I always appreciate a professional tone with the potential clients with conversation. I rarely have anyone who has been rude . Certainly keep us posted if you hear more and would like to hear others comment on the topic.

We'll have to talk about that "training" sometime. Just call me curious.

That's awesome. I appreciate the update.

You look like you are ready to ride "hunt seat" (English style). All that's missing is a riding crop! lol

One positive point of conversation with clients is looking "tanned". I suppose it is equated with "health" and an active life. I have a very active lifestyle and spend a lot of time outdoors in the summer shirtless and in the pool. There isn't much need to supplement any sun exposure with time in a tanning bed. I always use appropriate tanning protection when I am out. I always try and be aware of how much time I am spending outdoors as skin care always should be an important consideration. I've seen people who have had advanced sun exposure for years and isn't wise. Winter is a little different. I don't suffer from light deprivation, but it is nice to have a "kick up" after a long winter's day. I have a friend who tans for his SAD symptoms (a form of depression). I know it helps him during the winter months.

Very sad and what a horrible experience. I hope you never encounter somebody like that again.

Probably just looking for the unique, the different, the recognizable. For some that means a little more "out there" and extreme. I always like catchy names, easy to remember, but unique.

I always value your opinion. Makes sense!

I like this, thank you!

Well said, some great ideas!

Hey Danny, a thread on this topic is right on the”money (so to speak). We get the discussion on alternatives, which is awesome as we get a conversation on how to reward regular clients, which is probably more prudent. I’m liking this discussion!

Love this!

Thanks Chris, I loved teaching horsemanship.

I friend of mine also discouraged a visit to Honolulu saying that the city isn't terribly attractive and the city has challenges (but what city doesn't?) I will definitely consider those ideas as decisions are considered!
