As promised. No sticks, no bags, no chains, no treats. Baby learning to give his feet.
Just praise and position.
Had a couple messages and comments about my "How to safely train to pick feet" video saying "No way..... This isn't safe.... You're skipping a step....I don't have a second person to hold."
Only difference between this young man and one who knows the job is a helmet on my head, not tied in case of an overreaction and slow steps with lots of praise.
Demonstrated how to approach without a holder. Disclaimer. Learning to STAND comes before learning to give feet.

In the theme of awards week as the nchta banquet is this weekend, Adda'Go has a handful of team members who have earned special mention this past season.

First, we would like to honour our Cass Jones with the title of our 2018 Horsemanship award.
Cass and her darling "Bear With Me" brought home top placings all season and really committed to the homework in schooling and an unfortunate amount of first aid care that we learned at the end of the season was being caused by cancer. This realization led to us having to make the horribly painful decision to lay Bear, at just ten years old to rest.
Cass stayed a true teammate to her partner until the bitter end. So proud of you my friend.

Subsequently, without a doubt, 2018 Horse of the Year goes to our Big Bear for fighting through his weakness and pain to always perform his best for his girls.
Godspeed young lad.

Equally as exciting is to award our Faye Laforce the title of our 2018 Sportsman of the year. This kid is either winning or falling off trying. Always packing her own gear, prepping her pony, being organized and on time and putting the schooling in between lessons. Faye always cheers her team on regardless of her results and takes top care of her mount. Her determination is inspiring.

The well earned Show Parent of the year title for 2018 goes to Karen Sayer Pelton for having to put up with me all season. Always having me and Willow in the right gear at the right time, cleaning and packing and making sure her (and I) were fed and watered 🤣
The teens can be tough to parent. I am sure I am significantly worse.

Our Rising Star to look out for in coming seasons is my not so little anymore little, Tamika Hamilton. Bringing home top placings all season and showing a great skill for finding her competitive edge being calm, cool, confident and BRAVE. Now voicing goals of YR's, we will surely do everything we can do get her there.

Finally, our Clydesdale Title for 2018 goes to the most important asset on our team, our lead groom, our scheduler extradinaire, our accountant and my best friend, Clare Cloete. Adda'Go is what it is because of her shared commitment to produce better people through the horse sport.

The winter apocalypse has me itching to get back onto showgrounds for an exciting 2019 season.

Thank you all for your committment to yourselves, your horses, the sport and our team.

Adda'Go!

We are now well on our way to prepping for the 2019 season. Oxford Ridge has provided us the most beautiful arena to continue our development with no stress of confined space. Riders friends and family are always content to watch lessons from the stands or the comfort of the heated lounge and viewing room.

Abscess treatment.
Hope you benefit :)
For the love of learning.

All for learning opportunities. Took this video for our team but figured it was worth a share. Especially being spring with wet ground- common situation this time of year. Excuse our dirty aisle, Ching requested chores be secondary to his needs:)

My new favourite arena exercise. Focus was preparation. 3 sets of bounces called 1,2 and 3. Riders to set their rhythm and balance and be told what set of fences they are to go to while passing K, so they needed to be ready for any of the three.
Culminated our work last week on changes and landing on the correct lead.
Exercise can be made beginner friendly with single fences and a placing pole or advanced by changing the distances to 9-12 feet adding adjustability.
Super fun.
Well ridden Haylea Holmes.

Fantastic first outing for Adda'Go 2.0 at the Quantum derby yesterday. Lots of good miles and ribbons to bring home. Thank you for another fantastic show and congrats to the riders for a solid day. PC to Carolyn and Sofia

Everything is finding it's place with ease. Our Dave surprised us by saying he didn't require a locker- then we realized he has his own locker space that also fits the trailer! Well played Dave. I am almost as happy as dear Milo to have a designated barn dog space also

Day 2 allowed us to put some schooling miles on the schoolies and start on setting up the lesson rider tack room.
Going smoothly, almost like we are meant to be here. What a journey that led to such an amazing place. So awesome.

Day 1 is going better than I could have even dreamt up in my sweetest dreams.
Still sinking in. We are at Pinecrest and Adda'Go lives again.
Couldn't be more thankful.
