Monty had 2 successful days of allowing me on his back!!

I say allowing because thats ultimately what hes doing, I have worked to gain his trust!
Multiple tries, different spots in the round pen, changing length of time I'm up on his back, slightly shifting my body weight, etc. But ultimately taking it slow and reading that he's telling me with his ears and body. He truly tells me with his ears of what he's thinking, I've figured out that the ears relaxed back to me means "all is okay, continue on, I trust you".

It was pretty neat to feel him relax enough to let a hind leg relax! Rewarding feeling as well.

Logan has been doing so so well!

This week I've focused on ba****ck and really getting him to relax into work.

I honestly forget that I started him under saddle last year as he just feels like my own guy, I can come out and do what's needed or wanted that day and he's game for it all.

He's never done ba****ck, he's never gone undersaddle in a halter or a hackamore. And well he did all those things this past week!

I couldn't be more pleased with him!

Monty has been making good progress towards his first rides!

The mustangs are a bit more patience/time needing, they need to trust, and have the releases in the sessions every time! I had been working with him for a little over a month and a half before he gave me any type of release when it came to being above him or behind his head when going to get on his back.

I've taken the past 3 ish weeks to get him to trust me to on the block, jumping from the block up to him, jumping up on his back, swinging legs around, pushing weight on his back like I want to move around. And this week we've gotten to where I can put my other leg over his side.

Next week I hope to be able to sit up on him and get some steps going!

Diva! 🌸

She's definitely getting to be a fun one to ride now that she a bit more in shape! Nicer days mean we can play in the outdoor arena more and really work through all gaits and big patterns!

About time to redo her braids😆

04/22/2024

Rooster has had 3 more solid post track rides this past week!!

2 rides in the outdoor and 1 in the roundpen only due to crazy wind😆

But overall super happy with how he is progressing! I'm doing it in a quiet slow way, he doesn't need speed anymore. Yes we know he can do all the gaits, but we want relaxation through all now, which he is doing quiet well with!!
Can't wait to see what this upcoming week brings for him!!

Introducing "Ranger" 🤠

He's a 16yr old QH Paint Gelding standing around 14.2hh!! He's Logan little brother and husband horse.

He's gotten some sass and fluff over the winter so we got to get the sass back in line and trim down some 😉 He's definitely a character, but cute!!

Lulu has always been an anxious girl about the wash rack, but today was the first day she got a full bath and didn't have any tension/wiggles!!

Big things for her! Then got to walk her around and deal with the pasture horses coming to say hi. Which she got excited about but was able to bring her energy back and focus on me. That is the goal! She can react but she has to being her energy back to me.

Good girl Lulu!

04/20/2024

Pandora got to deal with all the wind we've been having this Friday!!

Doing really good at having smaller and less of a reaction to it each time!

And to keep the flies away, a cute serape colored fly mask!!

04/16/2024

Lulu is continuing to find more relaxation and confidence out in the arena! So happy to see her canter relaxed the other day. 🎉🌸

It's also the confidence in the trust between us!

She's able to get a rinse off at our wash rack rail now without moving or having anxiety which is a huge thing!

She'll get to riding, body will work more eventually but the brain needs the most work right now.

04/16/2024

More work coming for this girl! 🌸 Being she'll be turning 4 this year, I've already put 3 walk rides on her before winter so time to keep progressing!

Boots were the newest thing to her yesterday!

Kizzy, your so pretty and smart!!

04/16/2024

Divas dad, aboard her again!!🎉🎉

It had been a couple months before I took her on that he hadn't ridden her cause she wasn't getting the consistency she needed. Now after this ride on Sunday, he feels relief and is looking forward to riding her more.

I'm excited to continue to help this pair!

04/16/2024

Hazel had a great lesson last week with Bug!

Working to ride him into the frame work, where to have your body position on the quicker ones and how to effectively settle the energy to where it's most effective! Good leg and hand position!

04/16/2024

Rooster has had 4 successful and quiet rides under saddle so far!!

I wanted to start him in a way that he knows it's not about fast. Slow and steady wins the race now buddy!

With the first ride I made a mistake of going left first just as that's the way he was going, he didn't do anything naughty but just light crow hop saying "I wanna go!". That was my mistake not his! So every ride after that I have made a point to set us up to track to the right first and then go left. He hasn't had any issues with standing at the block, waiting till I get on and situated then walking off from the block, just quiet steps off my leg.

We've been able to do walk/trot both ways in the roundpen and I hope to this week step it up to the canter, once we do that we'll start playing with the outdoor arena under saddle!

Progress for this boy!!🎉

04/07/2024

Diva is doing so well!

Her dad says she's definitely got a better attitude with consistency. Makes his life easier.

Which is what the goal was, for her dad to be able to get to ride without dealing with her sass😉

Nice weather means more time in the outdoor arena too!

✨️ Amanda rode Jai for the first time yesterday and they did great! ✨️

Jai is funny because he can be a mommas boy. Meaning sometimes he's a bit dull with new people but once Amanda got comfortable where she could wrap around him, she was able to put the leg on and he went forward. She got him to be responsive to her leg and hand. He's got more "go" than her boy Logan, so it was using the energy to her advantage and just slightly compressing for a steady tempo and roundness.

She also was able to get some really lovely work done for her body position. The best seat she's been able to have in the canter.

Overall a really great ride!

03/30/2024

Rebecca with Hershey this week!

She got to get a really good canter ride on him and got to figure out how to really relax the hips and move with his gait!
Then she had some lovely trot work and very good geometry with her circles!

Good job!

03/30/2024

Hazel had a great jump lesson with Kiz this past week!
Jumped some "new" things! And nailed how to tactfully ride a fence where the horse wants to look hard at it!

She's off to a schooling show today, Good Luck Hazel and Kiz! Have fun!

03/24/2024

🎉 Rooster made a big move to R&R Stables and Equestrian Center a little over two weeks ago and it has definitely brought out a new relaxed horse!

He has been doing really well! Getting pretty confident in the outdoor arena, there's lots to look at but once he sees it he just gets back to work. He just likes to work!

That's the Thoroughbred mindset, they love to work! That's why I love working with them💙

03/22/2024

Lulu! 🌸
What to say about this girl so far, she's got sass but wants to please. She tries hard but just lacks confidence. So we've been working on the confidence and it's gotten better to the point she can canter on the correct lead both ways in the arena and out in the field on the lunge.

Confidence in themselves before adding us to the picture I feel is a big thing. It's seeming to work for this girl and I can't wait to ride her in the next bit!

One of Montys accomplishments is getting into the wash rack and getting rinsed off.
Started with just the feet and worked our way to his whole body.

I think it helped it was one of the hotter days we've had where I got to rinse his whole body off after a good workout with the saddle!

03/22/2024

Well let's just say, wow it has been so busy...
I feel bad not giving any updates on lessons or training horses but all is well and all are happy!🩵

Longer daylight hours equal much busier days and minimal time to post anything😅 So bear with me as there will be a flood of posts in the next day or so.

02/19/2024

Pandora would like to says, " its spring weather! Get this hair off" 😅

Such a good girl and continuing to gain confidence out in the arena as well. We've had a handful of rides and 2 being in the arena doing walk trot. Very basic simple things to help with her confidence.

02/19/2024

New into training is "Monty"

He is a ~roughly~ 4 yr old Mustang Appy Cross Gelding.

He has been halter broke, knows basic groundwork and has had a saddle on a handful of times. Now comes the work of getting him broke to ride. We've had a good first week getting to know one another. By the end of the week I had him lunging with the saddle no issues.
I'm excited for this challenge!

Hazel had a great lesson last week!
They are prepping for a fun low key jump day in March!

He hasn't seen jump things for a bit so just made baby cross rails, ground poles, and this natural filler jump. Great riding! Not getting ahead of him when he would take an extra step before the jump and waiting for the jump to come to them.

02/18/2024

Grace had a great lesson with Hershey Monday.

Now that she's feeling better we can get to work more! We worked on getting her to use her legs and really telling Hershey to trot! She did great, even went to a canter for a couple circles. Getting to relax and move with the rythym.

02/10/2024

Pandora!

We had our first ride in the arena this week!

It's taken some time to get her comfortable in the arena, lots of groundwork in and out of the arena.
Working for patience in all situations as well! Standing in the cross ties, standing at the rail, even standing in the arena with me while I teach lessons. The more patience she learns in everything, the more I can feel her brain relax. I can see the relaxation in her body.

And this is only the first ride, can't wait to see where we go from here.

02/06/2024

Vertigo is progressing well!

It's been a slow but good process with him as I've been taking it slow and waiting for his body to mature along with his brain. Being so big he forgets how big he is so constant reminder that he has to respect space and have patience.

Last week we finally hit a point where I could comfortably walk and trot in the roundpen with no issues.
He's still not comfortable with other people riding around him so we'll keep working on that to hopefully get him going under saddle in the arena with other people riding here soon!

(people on horses moving is a tiny bit scary to the big boy😆)

We will get there though! Thankful to his mom who has been so patient with this process!

02/06/2024

Jessica also had a great lesson with Hershey this week!

She got really good during this lesson at figuring out yes Hershey does take a long rein, but you can take the contact up a bit and he'll still go forward as long as you add the leg when you take up the contact. She's starting to take more control of the steps he takes during her rides!
Great job Jess!

02/06/2024

Hazel had a great lesson with Kiz!

She's doing so well with her position! We're slowly figuring out Kiz and what makes him happier when working. Keeping a steady hand and steady contact is seeming to help!

Great job Hazel!

02/06/2024

Rooster is doing really well!

We've worked together in the roundpen this week, getting him to listen to my body language and do quiet work.

He's such a thinker and wants to please, definitely an OTTB. They love to work! I can tell his mind is happy for sure. He's such a cute mover too!

4th bareback ride and in a hackamore!

Enjoying good weather, good music and a good horse!

Check out Miss Kizzy!! We've been doing lots of groundwork, body language ques, use of crop as extension of my arm, and learning new tricks! Her newest trick, learning to park next to the mounting block to make for easy mounting. She's a quick learner, lots of want to learn and please!

Buddy is doing well with his training! He's been such a cool boy to work with. He's got good work ethic and he's pleaser! We got to do this the other day where it was just a bareback pad and a halter. No lead rope, no reins, just wandering around the round pen like no problem, listening to when I asked hin to move forward.
