Had an awesome time at Canoa Farms in Merritt a couple months ago. Both my horses loved the obstacles! Here is a video of Fledge tackling the suspension bridge. Snatch him up at a reduced rate before the holidays!🎄
First trot on this cutie!

Brie is getting braver! I'm blown away by how quickly she went from running backwards when the tarp crinkled to this.

Evening ride with Todd Scheerer ❤️. He's improved his riding so quickly! He's gone from non-rider to this in about 5 lessons. I may be biased, but I think he's a natural :p.
Thanks Ardis McDonald for letting us use your beautiful Lightning :).

New project horse!
Brie is a 7yo unstarted grade mare. So far she's not very interested in humans. I'll be working on convincing her that it's okay to be near me for the next few sessions.

This is my 2021 Retired Racehorse Project hopeful. "Winona" is showing a lot of relaxation and confidence with the tarp.

Trail Ride
Kenora was waiting for me by the gate yesterday morning so I decided to hop on for a bareback trail ride. Here she is walking home on a loose rein. Loose reins help horses to connect to their responsibilities by allowing for mistakes to be made so that they can understand what not to do. Kenora knows that it's her job to maintain gait, no matter where we're headed, even if it's back to her herd.

For your consideration:
Kenora,
5yo 15hh APHA mare
Please pm for more details.
This is her second bridleless ride :)
Liberty
Avanti showing off his liberty :)
What do you and your horse have left when the rope comes off? I use liberty as a gauge for the connection I have with my horse. If they run off, I know that I need to work more on building the relationship.
