Skystoneâs Comprehensive Turnover enhances the chance of success after a horse completes their start or restart. @olivia.koscianski is keen to learn the principals of training and the language that give young Ever his confidence and security interacting with people. PM us to give your baby a brilliant, trauma-free start; to enquire about assessing missing pieces in the foundation of your going horse, or for haul-in lessons or full time boarding/training. #skystonefarm

This is not a post about us doing good stuff. This horse is being educated through negative reinforcement ( pressure/release). The whip is used for extension of reach and stimulation. We are not joining the mob against Charlotte. We loved her then and we love her now. What was missing for Charlotte during that moment was the time she had to teach the horse. During a lesson, or jumping class or turning at âXâ to then halt at âGâ requires a level of urgency that makes human beings more intense in the moment. Our entire industry can come together to learn more and do better. While the infamous video is unsettling to watch, whatâs happening to Charlotte can be a bright light showing our path forward. We need to stand together in order to do better for our horses and for each other. We can do it. Abandoning a family member because their flaws are apparent is not the way. We. Are. All. Flawed. Embracing our common love of our horses and our pure intentions to be better IS the way forward. We need to keep in mind that we donât find â good enough todayâ in the competition ring. #charlottegate #letscometogether #notonthatbandwagon #castthefirststone #skystonegarm #trtmethod #wecandobetter #dressagetraining #showjumpers #standtogether

Pretty nice 3 yr old to handle. He literally runs to the gate hoping itâs his turn to come for class. PM us for the best start your youngster can get. It lasts a life time. #startinghorses #restartinghorses #trtmethod #groundwork #dutchwarmbloods #dressagehorses #showjumpers #yychorses #yeghorses #boardingandtraining #hunterjumpers
Your baby has one chance for a great start. 3 yr old, Ever, progressing from addition to times table. This young guy thinks, considers and likes guidance as schooling gets more complex. This was his second time under a rider. First trot. #skystonefarm #trtmethod #startinghorses #restartinghorses #groundwork #dutchwarmbloods #canadianwarmbloods #yychorses #yeghorses #holsteinerhorse #showjumpers #dressagehorses
Cobalt doing Cobalt things. Turned 2 of our 3-yr-old out with 2 mature geldings. Cobalt notices Ludoâs oppressive energy toward Rocket (who kicks up in defence) and steps in to let Ludo know thereâll be no picking on the young ones. #trtmethod #skystonefarm #startinghorses #restartinghorses #horsewelfare #dutchwarmbloods #canadianwarmbloods #groundwork #yychorses #yeghorses #showjumpers
3 yr old Ever. Wants to be good (just didnât know what good was). Intelligent. Willing. A trier. Warms the heart to witness them improve, want to learn and participate. Heâs lovely, Olivia. 𼰠PM us for starting, restarting, or filling in the gaps of what might have been missed or didnât stick. #skystonefarm #trt.method #startinghorses #restartinghorses #groundwork #showjumpers #dressagehorses #yychorses #yeghorses #traininghorses
5 yr old Orionâs restart gave him a solid understanding of what his rider was asking. He gains confidence and security in providing the right answers. Joy has filled the space that fear vacated. So excited for you, Arianna! #skystonefarm

Sydney leaves an impressive footprint in her graduating year. Coachâs award in basketball and Grade 12 female athlete of the year. (She was a first year volleyball and developed into one of the schoolâs top players). Syd commits 110% to everything she does. Awesome job mom and dad (who not only maintain a healthy set of rules, but who set a fine example). So proud of everyone. â¤ď¸đŞâ¤ď¸ #grandparentpride #girlpower #athleteoftheyear #skystonefarm
First 1.0m class. First time on grass. Clear and 10 seconds under time allowed. 5th in a class of 31. PM us about Iuliana. Sheâs ready for a confident rider who is keen to refine their skills. #skystonefarm

Stallions are a whole other beast, but horses respond well when understood. 5 yr old Joey is blossoming with his education. His expectation for battle has been replaced with good manners, curiosity and open willingness to participate., Standing in Alberta, Joey is licensed Canadian Warmblood, sin of Vleut (a highly sought-after stallion in France) and grandson of world renowned Quick Star ( sired by 2 Olympic athletes). Joey proves to have a beautiful temperament to complement his strength, balanced confirmation and athletic movement. #skystonefarm

A follow up from yesterday because comments would indicate misunderstanding of our message. (So easy to happen on social media). Ever was purchased as a 2 yr old from a reputable breeder. At 2, no intelligent buyer would expect any breeder to have been able to develop a foundation for him (an impossibility). If youâre buying a horse under 4 yrs old, it didnât happen. Horses donât lie. They always reveal what got missed or didnât stick. Horses have their own personalities and develop habits whether in barns or fields. Once in schooling, they will easily portray those patterns. Everâs habit was to get his own way or fight. His first sessions were in teaching him that there were better answers in dealing with the human world. His new, resisting responses bely his initial tendencies to bite or kick. This clip shows Ever slowly considering good choices that were taught to him to override his unsafe instincts. Even his fading reflex to kick shows that heâs rethinking this as a choice. (Before his Skystone schooling, his initial response was to fire off a lightning fast kick if he decided he didnât want you at his side. ) It warms our hearts to see them think, find a good answer, gain trust in their people and build muscle memory of correct answers. Itâs how equine athletes gain coordination, reliability and confidence to understand whatâs being asked of them. PM us if you have a precious young one that youâd like to have started with a solid, complete foundation or a horse that shows there was a step missed or one that didnât stick. Our clients receive videos of their horsesâ training. No one wonders whatâs happening. #skystonefarm

3 yr old Ever, at Skystone for his start, came fighting. Not because he was mishandled, but because the business model of selling horses, no matter the breeding program, doesnât allow the time to educate them, because the priority is to get things done. Heâs coming along beautifully, developing into the horse his owner hoped she was buying. #skystonefarm

Grad week was a lot of fun! 90%+ average, scholarships, and going on to study applied sciences, biology. Oh - and playing basket ball! Hearts filled with pride and admiration for this incredible spirit! (Allowed to bring a prop for grad photos, Syd brought her cat to school!) Congratulations, Sydney â¤ď¸ #grad2024 #granddaughter #highschoolgraduation #skystonefarm
