Schleese will be back towards the end of April for saddle fittings. We love our custom saddles both for riders and for our horses. Horses are athletes so it is important to adjust their saddles a couple times a year as they change physically. Schleese is one of the only saddle companies that designs saddles specifically for the women pelvis. Contact Christina with questions or if you want to sign up for an assessment.

Just me and the two senior horses. It's a little cold today but all the horses are doing well. On the extra cold days like today we keep the horse work pretty light and tend to do things like clean tack and organize things.

Winter is a great time to work on learning new skills. I feel in our area people who work thru the winter months are able to accomplish really cool things and goals. Ghazi and I were able to have two really good clinics before winter to get a lot of homework. We are successfully schooling flying changes and canter half pass. I can't wait to see where we end up when winter ends, being that we still have a few months. It is important to remember progress is not always linear. The important thing is to keep putting in the work and time and it will pay off.

We are always trying to improve things at the barn. One of our biggest tasks has been plugging holes in walls and the roof. Our latest hole was an inch gap above our big arena door. Zorbie is a great supervisor for when Dad is on the ladder.

Yesterday the horses enjoyed the sun and no wind. Lots of naps were taken.

Lessons start back up today! The lesson horses and Zorbie can't wait to see everyone again!

Happy New year everyone! We had a wonderful 2024 year and can't wait to accomplish even more things in 2025.

No lessons this week thru January 2nd. For our last week of lessons before break I was trying to be creative and festive with my pattern. So I set up a Christmas tree pattern with cones.

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.

Winter lessons start this week. Still room available. Contact Christina at 605-216-0677, thur our business page or by email at [email protected]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We are so thankful for all our clients past and present.

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.

11/25/2024

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.

Now is a great time to start riding!

Ritz is always up for new things. He got his first mini bath last week. He loved trying to eat the hose but didn't love the water so much when it was on him.
