Day 1 with a Roller! Not a care in the world lol👌😎

26/02/2018

Over the last few days I've been working with Cash on- pressure on the girth area, walking off on voice command and pressure of where leg will be positioned under saddle. Also flexion, one rein stop and voice commands for halt, walk and trot.
Today was his first day with a lunge roller on and he didn't bat an eyelid!
He was not phased by it being on nor it being done up a little tighter in intervals.
Such a smart cruisey big boy and he's only 2 1/2yrs old 👌😀

Another Ripper day doing more training with Miss P.A out in the open paddock today after a little cruise.
Such an amazing girl! You honestly can't get much chilled than her, taking everything in, yet still listening to what you're asking all the time. Not one bit of nasty(buck, rear or bolt) in this girl from dot. Worth her weight in gold in my opinion 👌

18/11/2017

A new milestone achieved today stepping Miss P.A out to her first adult riders rally and 1st time out riding in an open arena!
Very proud of her and the trust she had with me today 😊
A big day, as there was also a freshmans jumping and cross country event on, so some new activity for her to take in, but overall, apart from being very forward and sweating like a trooper lol, she did amazing!
A lot of compliments on her beauty, cruisey nature and how well she did, so all in all a fab day I'm really pleased with! 👍😀

12/08/2017

Today I took Miss Pollyanna to my adult riders club for some exposure to another environment.
Cruisey as she is and didn't really bat an eyelid to her new surroundings, cows next door, motorbikes and the other horses, maybe the lush green grass had something to do with it haha.
Gave her a lunge on the arena and did ground work to bring her focus back as she decided to become an Arab, full high hocked prancing trot and tail straight up as she could see the horses out on cross country (wishing I had video of that, she looked amazing!)
Ended the day with a stroll on the XC course and popped her over some jumps on the lead.
Overall another great experience for her that she took all in her stride 😊👍

30/07/2017

After finally getting a new saddle that fits Pollyanna, we got our second ride in under saddle!
This girl is as cruisey as they come.
Slow n steady, more whoa than go. Maybe a tad on the lazy side haha
Riding bitless in a halter as well.
Once she's going, she's got a big powerful trot and nicely balanced even this early on.
Very happy with today's ride 😀👍
(Note: in video I am not hitting her with the rein but smacking my leg to encourage her forward with the snap sound, as she was being a little lazy and not responding to my voice or leg pressure)

27/01/2017

Australia Day fun! Horsemanship lessons with Beth and Jade!

07/09/2016

So we've advanced to the next stage and have introduced the stock saddle and started to prepare her with pressure when mounting on both sides.
Pollyanna was so well behaved and stood still during the whole process.
Was able to mount with stirrups (on ground and mounting block) and lay across her back on my tummy.
Unfortunately I ran out of time to go any further, but my main objective was to get her comfortable and confidently standing still during this session.
We are On the right track!!

18/08/2016

Success with her first bridling today!
Pollyanna Willingly opens her mouth for the bit and has a play with it in her mouth but no dramas!
(I'm Using a warmblood bridle and can only just do up the nose band lol)
Took it on and off a couple of times( making sure not to hit her teeth with the bit) and then left it on for 10mins. Good third day in training 😀

17/08/2016

After a few months off due to my Achilles' tendon healing and having some shocking cold wet weather with limited time for training, I've now brought PollyAnna back into work.
2 days spent with her doing basic groundwork to get her back in tune with things and today I introduced a saddle (lil kids one) and started mouthing her. She is an amazing girl, willing to learn with a cruisey attitude and took it all in her stride!
Very balanced on the lunge and understands voice commands extremely well. She's so ready for a rider 😃👍

13/06/2016

Hard work and commitment pay off in many ways!
Cash and I attended the Victorian all breeds foal show and he was sashed Reserve Champion part bred Clydesdale!!
It was a huge day and he behaved himself beautifully, although a little tired at the end for us all.
Never give up on your dreams, as the results of your hard work always pay off no matter how long it takes! You are always a winner if you're giving things a go 😃

01/06/2016

Cash had his first ever trim today!
He handled it like a pro! 👍
Ground work pays off 😊

21/05/2016

1st day float training. Within 10mins Cash was comfortable walking in himself and backing out nicely.
Good job Buddy!!!
Next phase coming soon 😃

19/05/2016

So I've been working on handling Cashs legs and hooves for around 3-4 weeks (5 weeks I was out of action with torn Achilles)
A little bit of training with him every day. I don't like to rush any horse but use consistency and clear cues in my training. Each horses time frame is different.
Cash was very reluctant from the start of his halter breaking to have anything near his legs and being a c**t made it trickier lol double barelling and cow kicking were his favs lol
Well persistence pays off with ground work and he's now ready to be booked for his first trim!! Such a wild c**t.. Not anymore 😀
Excuse my dogs photo bombing vid lol

17/05/2016

My pup Lexie and Cash are forming a real bond. Something tells me they'll be best mates 😍🐴🐶💙❤️

03/05/2016

The weather is getting so wild and chilly that I thought it was appropriate timing to put a rug on 'Cash' for the first time! He was not fazed at all lol and He looks so snuggly now 😊 love my boy💙

06/03/2016

Cash had his first little wash down today, perfect hot day for it! He didn't mind too much, probably a bit relieved lol
And of course he then proceeded to get down and have a roll lol

16/02/2016

Bag? What bag? Lol
What an awesome little dude on day 4 of training!!

13/02/2016

Well the day has come and today is Cash's first day of weaning! Have done lots of handling with him today teaching him to lead and give to pressure and some light rope work. He is turning into a beautiful and willing to learn young boy. Couldn't be happier 😃👍❤️

12/02/2016

2 great training sessions this morning with Cash and Pollyanna. Cash is now facing up, walking to me at Liberty and letting me rub his head and neck(without food!) big step in trust!
Pollyanna is just amazing, so quiet and responsive to all that's asked! Love this filly!
Now just reflecting on today watching Pollyanna nibble the green grass 😃

05/02/2016

Pollyanna has been a dream to train so far! Great neck flexion, yielding front and HQ. Stepped up to a roller today in walk and trot and no girthiness at all. Also started weight baring with no problem! Coming along beautifully 😃

02/01/2016

1st day starting Pollyanna.
Got her hooking on, set some 'personal space' boundaries, rope work, basic yielding and introduced the plastic bag. She did extremely well and doesn't walk over you now! 😉

31/12/2015

So I came into some luck!
And 16 hooves come off the truck!!!!
Welcome to Taralynn Park Stud 😃
Introducing our new family members:
Pollyanna - 4yr old TB mare bred at Eliza park stud. Ready to commence training under saddle/possible future broody.
And the most exciting part I now own a beautiful 6mth old Clydie cross c**t whom I've called 'Cash' and his beautiful mum 'Chick' who is a registered paint mare, western trained and done pony club, trails and jumps!!
So my new year is going to be very hectic lol but I'm in my element and so darn EXCITED 😍❤️😍❤️🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

28/12/2015

One more sleep!! 😉

16/12/2015

Watch this space!! Very exciting news to come!! 😍👍😉

Meet 'Kaya'!
My other new intern!
He is a very quiet boy but has not been ridden for approx 5 years. He and Malone also have severe separation anxiety issues, which i intend on working on. Have started his ground work and desensitizing and asking him to move his feet where I want them to be. He responded well with some encouragement and became much more relaxed :-)

23/06/2015

Meet 'Malone' :-)
One of my new interns!
He has an issue with picking up his feet, especially the back ones. He tries to cow kick and stomps his feet down. Needless to say he needs some farrier work!
I have started ground work with desensitizing and building a trusting bond. He responded well today with lots of licking, chewing and breath outs. A good start I say :-)
