Wicked day for Olivia and Lily first trail ride, she went out without another horse and crossed the creek! Great job kiddo ☺️☺️☺️

Building their confidence right from the beginning is one of the best things you can do for your horse! Something to be said for these little mountain horses they So
Great minded! Cocoa here is not even 3 years old yet!

As for me I’m working on my core strength riding on the English gear!

New client intro! Meet Hope, Hope comes with some tragic past events that we aren’t completely sure of the details!

She is incredibly untrusting of humans other than her lovely mom who has refused to give up on her! Hope has come to me for a complete restart! Yesterday our first attempt at bridling did not go this smoothly Hope was very reactive and worried about her head and ears making it difficult to bridle her especially given her size!

This was today our 2nd session together!

Watch for her progress

This right here is one more reason I love my job! This lovely lady had ridden for over 30 years it was her joy and passion! Unfortunately things had really fallen apart with this guy after multiple trainers and coaches she was defeated!

Prince had been deemed “dangerous” as he had developed some frustration which came out as behaviours including kicking, and bucking, pinning her against fences.

Today they safely and happily are back to enjoying their time on the trails as well as our weekly lessons in the arena (he had also been deemed arena sour)

Life is a ride enjoy it while you can!

Simple tip for today! Are you asking the questions correctly???

Wishing this horse crazy young lady a happy 13th Birthday! Wren has been with my program since the very beginning! Her dedication and commitment to the horses is bar none one of the most inspiring things I’ve seen! Hail, snow, rain nothing stops her from having even a little time in the saddle! I hope you enjoyed your day❤️

Cocoa and I ran into a little friend today 😳. Running into wildlife is a natural thing to happen! Be bear smart and leave the area, we where far Enough away for me to get this short video and we left before mama spotted us!

This guy has always had A special place in my heart, he’s been extensively trail ridden the last two years and today was his first day back in the arena!

He is for sale 😍😍😍

03/06/2022

This guy ❤️❤️❤️ he’s never been to our arena which gets incredibly loud with the rain! It’s pouring rain harder than I think I’ve ever seen and he’s just taking it all in stride!!!

02/06/2022

Perfect way to end a lesson ❤️

25/05/2022

Big day for this little filly!
1st time under saddle in the big arena!

She was so brave with everything going on around her we decided to head out around the grounds!

20/05/2022

Happy Friday friends!

How exciting is it to finally see some sunshine!!!

Don’t feel guilty for taking the time to enjoy it lord knows it’s been a helluva long time coming! I didn’t hesitate to rearrange my schedule and load Macey up and we headed to the beach for some fun!!!

Remember you, fun time is just as important for you and your horse as “schooling” them is!

Happy Friday!

Don’t forget that our 4 legged friends are more than just work horses! Get them outta that arena and enjoy the views!

After enduring ”broken wing” Jenn still showed up every week to spend time with her mare. We have been working together Jenn watching me riding Dally it’s amazing what you can learn by watching. Today was Jennifer first day back in the saddle!

Congrats on sticking with it girl!

Kids can teach us so much with their innocence and typically unjaded views of the world! This young lady came into my life after her lovely kind mom persisted with “wondering if I had any spots come available” for a few months. Teaching kids this young can be a challenge! The biggest challenge I’ve had with her is remembering she is ONLY 7 years old!

Somethings are just meant to be ❤️

24/04/2022

Today was an epic day of teaching and learning! A dream opportunity a chance to host a clinic along side my sister Montana Madill Laye. The smiles and accomplishments achieved by so many riders captured by the amazing Clio Nelson!

23/04/2022

To some this may not look like much, But to me it’s about building trust and relationship!

This big guy is a fan favourite including mine!

19/04/2022

I’ve always said the best thing you can do when things are falling apart is to ask for help! In fact it’s better than looking like a fool and continually making the same mistake over and over and having your horse resent you!

I knew what the problem was, I could feel it but what I thought to fix it wasn’t working!

Sometimes as a coach what it looks like will fix something is totally not it! Soooo much of riding is in the feel!

Rider error on my part had Little Miss. Macey worried about her departures!

I am one of the fortunate ones that has a parent as a horse trainer to help me!

Thankful is an understatement ❤️
