Letty and i have been working hard on new things lately! Working on giving her head at the jog in our hackamore👏🏻 #impulsions #letty #impulsionslegacy #AQHA #barrelhorse #horsesoffb #horse #barrels #mare #mareseason #chestnut

✨For the past couple of weeks i’ve been doing lots of bit work with letty! For those who know she has always been scared of the bit to the point where she rears up, ever since then i decided to go bitless! Lately i had been wanting to have both options (bitless and bit) so i started working on it! (With the help of my coach of course)✨ ✨I had been moving the bit up just so its touching her mouth a little and when she would drop her head i’d take it away and take her for a walk. In this video letty opened her mouth before i had even asked her to which shows how much more comfortable she is with it! It’s completely normal for her to back up or have her head super high but i never release the pressure until she drops her head. Usually i get her to drop her head 5-6 times before i try to put the bit in but before this i had done it 2 times and clearly she was ready to have it in! Which for letty, this is an amazing acomplishment. I love the soft approach of this method, this shows that the bit is nothing to be scared of✨

some people wonder why she’s so quiet and now i’m gonna show people this video… there may never be a yoga ball that comes and jumps at us in however rather be prepared then not🤣

i call it desensitization💪🏼

Maia learning some of the basics of ground work this evening! 👏🏻

22 second run… i’m at lost for words right now… i am SOOO proud of her! i’m so proud, all of the hard work and patience of putting on a solid foundation paying off👏🏻

soo did something very different today… letty LOVED it and i think it may grow on me🤷🏻‍♀️ honestly just wanted to open up my horisons and try new things and it’s good to experience new things as a rider and with your horse! my riding isnt great because i am not an english rider but letty did amazing! could not have asked for better🥰

Maia taking the angel baby for a spin the other night🥰 proud to say i have the quietest 6 year old red headed mare ever, maia did sooo good! super quiet hands! think letty listens better for her then she does for me🤪 Carrie Good

have worked so hard this summer to get here, stepped outside my comfort zone and pushed myself… could not be more proud. This is living proof that taking it slow and making sure a nice correct foundation before adding speed!! i’d rather be on the bottom of the placings with nice clean runs then have a horse who is out of control in the arena and goes off pattern! she has given me her all this season and even ever since i’ve gotten her she’s always given me her 100%… i could have never asked for a better mare and am so thankful to have her💖

so me and letty did a thing tonight! decided to step outside my comfort zone and lope her bareback! first time i’ve ever loped any horse bareback! she was so good and even slower bareback then with a saddle on🤣 so proud of how far i’ve been coming with her! Was so nice to just have a relaxing ride and enjoy time with her❤️

working hard on those “spins” lately and getting that shoulder over💪🏼

working on that walk to lope transition a bit more lately, also been working on slowing her lope down by sitting and humming to her and if she still doesn’t slow i pick up on my reins a little bit to help her realize she needs to slow down when i sit and hum to her which she’s starting to realize. We’re getting a lot better at the walk to lope transition, been working hard behind the scenes lately💪🏼👏🏻

sundays rocking 80’s rodeo race was a blast! we even won best dressed for youth🤪 However i would like to praise my horse for a minute, the past couple of rides at home before the show hadn’t gone to plan so i was preparing for an acting up horse during my runs this weekend but yet she gave me her all and didn’t have an issue this weekend! she is such a saint of a 6 year old! i’m the type of rider that doesnt care about my times, however i do notice my times not that they affect the way i feel about the way i run my horse wether i get a slower time the second day then the day before i dont care, but i love noticing the little steps of progress because this was our fastest pole run in the plp arena so far with a 45 second run! so happy with her, i also love hearing from the announcers “damn that horse sure can weave” makes me feel good and that all my hard work is paying off and everything is falling into place❤️

So proud of my girl, she always acts like shes been showing for her whole life but this is her first year. i cannot believe how far she’s come since i got her almost 2 years ago🫶🏻 i’d rather do the pattern properly and make sure she knows it before adding speed, slow and steady wins the race at the end of the day, practice makes perfect🌺 (day two poles, one of our best pole runs yet)

Took me so long to be able to comfortably lope her full arena without having to worry! i can finally now just put my outside leg on and she goes, she’ll even accelerate then come back to me if i sit back, heals down and hum to her and put my hands forward to get her to speed up🌺

My first sudents first lesson tonight! he did amazing, did lots of balancing work and learnt about the brushes and what they all do and how to use them properly!
