Our new arena is almost done! We had two more piles of sand spread so now we just need to go about 10 more feet longer & wider. We’re so close!

It’s big enough to start putting some jumps in. I started today with some cavalettis and I think Armonico approved! I’m so excited to have this project done.

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎁The horses have been enjoying a much needed week off from work.

I am not going to get into one of those arguments about bits like this double twisted wire because those arguments don’t normally change anyone’s mind. The people who hate these stay haters, and those who use them keep using them.

BUT---This might be warning, because it is reality. Have you ever had a horse that had a little tear right at the edge of its mouth from one of these, almost like a knife slice? If you have, you will know that your chances of getting that cut to ever thoroughly heal are slim to none. You think it’s healed, and then it comes back. I have had two horses that someone else had pulled on their mouths enough to create injuries, and they NEVER really went away.

Is it worth taking that risk? When you use a wire type bit, the chances are fairly high that a tear can happen, and if it does it messes up any future that horse might have had.

We had to break out the big standards for Armonico today. I almost didn’t, but I’m glad we did because he would’ve maxed the small ones out on his third trip through the chute! He’s jumping somewhere around 4’3 here and I honestly don’t think he was even trying yet.. it’s just too cold lol!

Lightly restarted & ready to go take the eventing, jumper, or even hunter world by storm. Ham is a blast to ride and incredibly smart. In our first ride he already started moving laterally off my leg. He slows off my voice & is happy to go as forward or as slow as you’d like. He does start off quite tense but I’m sure this will go away quite quickly as he adjust to his new sport horse career.

Ham was in the free jump chute & absolutely loved it. He sports a naturally round and scopey jump and no fear of the poles. He really enjoyed the whole jumping thing!

Currently, Ham turns out alone or in a herd with mares and geldings no problem. No stall vices, no riding vices. Goes in a snaffle.

Wears two shoes up front but has incredibly nice feet and can definitely go barefoot if you’re committed to that.

UTD on everything & ready to go.

The more I ride Ham, the more I love him!

This is his second ride here. He started really letting go of his back and relaxing more and that resulted in such a nice feel. I have no doubts this guy will be a little pocket rocket in the eventing and jumper world, or even a cute hunter.

Pika got to free jump today too! I’m not exaggerating when I say she’s the easiest horse. She basically went around herself, we didn’t have to push her down the line or anything. She loves jumping and is so comfortable with height. She is available!

Ham free jumping today!

He loved it. He went through the poles by himself and figured out the whole jumping thing really quickly. He naturally has that slow but scopey jump to him and really uses his neck well. This horse is fancy, flashy, AND talented! 🔥

ALL IM SAYING IS..

you should’ve bought Ham before we free jumped him.. umm, are you kidding me? He was born to be in the hunter ring, but you could also win in the jumpers or eventing.

Someone wanna buy him & let me take him to the RRP? Top TEN go to the finals this year instead of top five! 🫣

Send me a message if you’re looking for your next superstar. Ham is the best!

One of our adult ammys has been leasing Pika while she’s on the market.

Pika has taught her so much about flatting, I am confident that she’s going to make someone so happy some day soon. She really is the entire package! Leave her sit for a month & then go on a trail ride. Want to jump big fences? She’ll do that too. How about a random half pass across the arena? Yep! Gallop around in a group without fearing for your life? You can do that on a loose rein. She’s just the coolest 🤩

Look who got his shoes on & had his first post track ride!

Ham is awesome, I love him! He reminds me of my jumper Armonico so much. He’ll make an excellent prospect for anything jumping related. I also think this one will go far at the RRP if that’s something you want to do. He naturally wants to carry himself uphill & in a frame, we just need to work on relaxing his back a bit.

Ham is available for sale. In the meantime, we’ll be doing lots of trail rides and some flatwork!

Over the last year I’ve become pretty active on tiktok & it’s paid off. I reached over 10,000 followers and have been invited to the creator fund! That means my videos are monetized & I will start to earn a small bit of income for something I already do. Pretty cool!

If you haven’t already, check out my tiktok & use this link to join: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NkgQqc/ You’ll get a $10 coupon to use in the TikTok shop, or $2 if you’re an existing member.

I post videos on Tiktok that you won’t see posted anywhere else.

I’m excited about this! 👏🏻

I knew Ham was a good mover.. but I didn’t know he was quite this good! He’s got such a big trot & showed some really nice lead changes while free lunging tonight. He even stepped over the poles without a fuss.

Over the last couple weeks, we’ve found that he loves to eat and he loves to be turned out with his friends. Ham fits right in the herd & has been great!

He’s available to a new home if you’re looking for a hunter, jumper or eventer 🙂

Picaflor is sound & accepted to compete in the 2024 TB Makeover! LETS GO! 👏🏻

The best boy G doing some gridwork over the weekend!

Pikas very first time on cross country was during the mini trial and she absolutely crushed it. She really loves everything, but I think cross country seems to have sparked her interests the most! 🔥 She will be for sale within the next couple of weeks. While she’s green, she will fit a large amount of riders. You can let the horse sit in a stall for a month and then hop on bareback like nothing happened, but don’t let that fool you.. there’s plenty of spark and get up for the bigger tracks. I really think her potential is sky high and I’d love to see her in an upper level program whether that’s eventing or jumpers.

Pikachu is ready for WEC! Course with lead changes? ✔️ 3ft oxers? ✔️ Rollbacks? ✔️ Can’t wait to see what she thinks of such a big venue!

Here’s a long video from Pikas jump school yesterday.. when we weren’t in the middle of a monsoon ☔️ She’s looking & feeling really good! The jumping is becoming second nature and I think she’s just waiting for us to raise the fences and really as her to jump. Right now she’s still really just taking a canter stride over them, & some of these were set at 2’9! Plenty of untapped scope and potential in such a pretty mare.

I can’t make this crap up, these cats are insane
