🐴😂 Gary & Soda… Round Two of “Rope Tricks” 😂🐴
Gary was back at it today, swinging his rope over Soda's head like he's starring in his own little cowboy movie.
And Soda?
Not scared.
Not worried.
Not impressed.
Just standing there looking completely bored...like, "Here we go again" 😆
This horse is unbothered by everything - and Gary's rope tricks are no exception!

🐴✨ How Gary Warms Up the Horses Each Morning ✨🐴
When Gary starts his day with the training horses, everything begins with tacking up and a lunge. This gives them a little playtime to get the wiggles out, warms up their muscles, and helps them start tuning in to Gary’s voice — especially his favourite word: “whoa.”
From the ground or from their back, “whoa” always means stop, and Gary uses it consistently so the horses never have to guess.
Once he climbs on, the warm-up becomes all about focus and softness. He rides a series of circles — getting each horse to follow their nose, stay tuned in, and relax into the ride.
When they’re tracking correctly and really paying attention, he starts moving their hip over while staying in that same small circle. If they drift out, he simply picks up on the reins and brings them back where he wants them.
All of this is done at the walk, building connection and clarity before they ever move up into more work.
It’s simple, consistent, and effective — and it sets every horse up for a great ride. 🐴✨
Be patient. Be consistent. Be Gary.

🐴🤠 “We need a cowboy for our difficult horse…”
We hear this phrase more often than you’d think — but it always makes us wonder:
What do you mean by a “cowboy” type trainer?
If you mean someone who’s confident, patient, consistent, and experienced enough to help a horse work through their challenges… absolutely.
If you mean someone who takes the time to understand why a horse is behaving the way they are… we’re right here.
If you mean someone who believes in building softness, trust, and respect — not fear — that’s exactly the kind of training we do.
Hard cases don’t need to be “cowboyed through.”
They need clarity.
They need a foundation.
They need someone who won’t rush them, scare them, or overwhelm them.
So if you’re looking for help with a difficult horse, ask yourself:
Are you looking for a cowboy… or are you really looking for someone who can help your horse feel safe, understood, and willing again?
Because that’s the kind of training we stand behind every single day. 🐴✨
Be patient. Be consistent. Be Gary.

😸❤️ Lefty & His Lady ❤️😸

Lefty has officially gone from barn supervisor to full-time boyfriend. These two are absolutely inseparable — where one goes, the other is never far behind.

Today he even abandoned his very important supervisory duties to take a well-earned nap while his girlfriend soaked up all the cuddles. Priorities, right? 😂

True love in the barn aisle… and zero work getting done by Lefty. 😉

🐴✨ Finn & Gus Update! ✨🐴
These two boys are absolutely shining in their first few rides under saddle! Both Finn and Gus have been soft, willing, and so responsive — everything you hope for with young horses just beginning their journey.
And honestly… they’ve had Gary smiling every single day. 😄 Watching young horses try hard and enjoy the process never gets old.
Someone asked us the other day, “How do you even tell those two apart?”
Well… aside from their different coloured halters, Finn’s got the longer tail 😉
So proud of these boys — exciting things ahead for both Finn and Gus! 💛🐴💛

All the horses were tacked and ready to roll this morning, and Tennessee got the “lucky” spot as first out. 😂

Gary was already off and running before I even had my coffee, so by the time I made it out with my camera, all I managed to get was her post-training glamour shot. 😉🐴

She still looked pretty pleased with herself — clearly the early bird gets the workout! ☀️💪

Love mornings like this.
Be patient. Be consistent. Be Gary.

Some days feel a little heavier than others...the kind where your mind is full and you just need a moment to breathe.
But then you step into the barn, cue up a little Eric Church, and listen to the horses quietly munching their hay - and suddenly everything softens.🐴🎶
There's something about that mix of music, the smell of the barn, and those peaceful chewing sounds that brings everything back into balance.
It doesn't get much better than that 🤠
