Training horses is an interesting job. No two days are alike. Each horse needs an individualized plan as they each have different needs and different learning styles. This is Teddy our up and coming lesson horse. Initially he seemed like a very relaxed fellow but has had some stumbling blocks in his training. I came to the understanding that he actually was a fairly nervous horse that needed slow deliberate steps to help build confidence. Yesterday he had a big first step in becoming ready for other people and had his first canters. All the prep work I've been doing made this a stress free activity for him, and he stayed nice and relaxed. We are excited to see all the things he will accomplish!

Having happy lesson horses is important to us. One way we make sure they stay in top shape and happy is by getting them bodywork done regularly. Last week we had Doctor Heather out from Groton to do chiropractic and acupuncture on a couple of the lesson horses. They are all feeling great now.

We have had 7 Montessori kids ride with us this fall. They have learned a lot and gotten more confident with the horses. One of our students gave us these pictures last week.

Some of my students take a break in the winter due to living some distance from me or because they are not fans of the really cold weather. As we wrap up our fall lessons this week I always ask the kids if there is something particular they want to do. Usually it is a game, as we don't often play those. There are still openings for my winter schedule if you are interested.

In October I was able to head to Prarie Rose to participate in a clinic with Amy Miller from California. This was the first time she came to their barn for a clinic. She was amazing and I learned so much. One of the fun parts about clinics is I am able to use the knowledge I gain on all my training horses and also on my lesson students. It helps benefit everyone. Between Amy and Mimi I have lots of winter homework for the horses and myself. Excited to see how everyone grows thru the process.

Ritiz is a favorite of many at the barn. He is the first one to meet you at the gate and follows you around like a dog. He is a good sport about lots of things. He didn't even care about having the hat on. He walked all around the pen with it on. He lost two teeth last week. He likes to try to help me with the hay and is not afraid of the Bobcat at all.

Zorbie is a favorite of many at the barn. He can play fetch till he falls over. He is really great with the kids and has even helped some overcome their fear of dogs. Life would be pretty boring without him. He is a great co-workers except that he doesn't actually work.

Penelope has been at the barn longer than we have owned it. She is the OG kitty. She really likes the horses and tolerates the dog. She enjoys hanging out on the step stool while I teach lessons. Some of the kids call her their judge.

Fridays lately have been packed with projects before freeze up, getting ready for clinics, and all the normal tasks. Last week, dad and I spent most of the day putting up the deer blind he made.

We love when horse lessons can become a family affair! Pictured here is Dakota with her mom Brooke and her brother Nolan. There is just something about brushing horses that is so therapeutic.
