Another great day on the trail, this time a first time for Kathy and Sam! This is a big milestone for Sam and he was 110% prepared for it to be positive! Lots of bikes on the trail, coming at intervals that could be considered inconvenient, or in our case was the perfect level of exposure to have the horses really get comfortable. Many thanks to the kind and respectful bikers 🙂

Introducing the trails in hand is a great way to log your time with your leading exercises!

Willow wasn’t thrilled, but she is quickly getting the hang of her new grazing muzzle. This will allow her more time out on the field with her friends, which is a major win! Thanks to Samantha at for quick shipping and customer support!

Fergus has been on holiday for the last 2 months- adjusting to his new home and his herd mates, eating grass and running around and lounging in the sand piles.

Yesterday was his first ride in months and today was ride 2, exploring the pasture and re-visiting the basics.

I am beyond excited to welcome Fergus to my herd! Fergus is a 9 year old warmblood who found me this last fall. He is extremely playful and full of life - and when I first entered his life, let’s just say, he was having trouble managing all his energy! He is extremely oral and he was relentlessly in your space and attempting to bite and push. His athletic abilities were evident as he leaped through the air attempting to get loose for a hot lap around the yard! As I got to know him more, and we developed some communication and boundaries, I started to really like this horse. Don’t get me wrong - I have yet to find one I don’t like, but Fergus captured me in a way that got me pretty excited. Soon our sessions were less about the boundaries and more about the connection, and more about feeling good and embracing playful energy in a way that was safe. As this happened a big shift occurred in Fergus and he became softer and happier and generally more at ease in his life. His owners loved him and cared so much for him that when they saw our connection , they knew that Fergus had found his person. I am so grateful to have this opportunity to be the very best I can be for Fergus so that he can be his best self!

So proud of this pair! I have been honoured to be part of this journey with Sam and Kathy and this past weekend watching them is why I love teaching! Kathy's commitment to helping Sam has been unwavering, both through education and addressing his physical health. Kathy is also a coach, and one of my favourite people to teach as she is humble, open minded and eager to continue on the never ending journey of horsemanship!
