Eagle cam. They bounce on the branches of the dead tree to break them off, and then take them to build the nest with. So cool to watch them work! #honestlyhorses #eaglewatch #baldeagles
You scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours.
Flower and LilliBelle are BFF’s. #honestlyhorses #horsefriends
Continued progress with Caddy in the bridle. One of the most valuable tools a young horse can learn is how to process new things and think through them. She’s doing a fantastic job! #honestlyhorses #drivinghorse #harnesstraining #horsetraining
The race is on. 😁 I love watching them play! #honestlyhorses #morganhorse #pastureplay
Nuttah and Laura, figuring each other out. So cute! Something about a big, gorgeous, horse and a tiny kid that just warms my heart. ❤️ #nuttahodyssey #honestlyhorses #ridinglessons
Just watched this bald eagle take a branch from our dead tree. Very cool! I can only assume there’s a nest being built nearby. #mondaymorning #eaglewatch #honestlyhorses
It’s this kind of hot!
Get in the pond and swim! Spot sure loves the water! #honestlyhorses #spotthehorse
Nice bend, Chief! He’s getting fancy! #honestlyhorses #shoulderin #horsetraining
Chief is grateful. I can feel his gratitude and he shows it, too. He’s a big sweet boy, and is doing so much better! We finished working and I rewarded his efforts by undressing him in the arena. He wasn’t ready to be done hanging out together, I guess. ❤️ #honestlyhorses
Working on a right lead with Stormy. It’s so odd, because she takes it when I counter bend her, but struggles when set up in what we’d consider a correct bend. Bareback helps me feel what’s going on with each departure. #honestlyhorses #canterwork #horsetraining
Fitting for our trail ride. Sure helps to have hills and rocks. This girl’s from the mountains so no sweat for her. Just getting in shape. #honestlyhorses #trailriding #fitting #horsemanship
Quick tip for keeping those little blanket clips together. Mine all wear fly sheets and they love to come unhooked. This is a great fix! #honestlyhorses #barnhack
Maybe? Stevie is just so chill and he really likes to be in the middle of what we’re doing. I think he wants to be fancy! #honestlyhorses #drivingdonkey #donkeylove #steviethewonderdonkey
Caddy is, officially, between the shafts! We had good assistance and supervision from Stevie. Maybe he’s a driving donkey? ❤️😂 Have to make a couple of adjustments to the shaft keepers on the new harness, before we tie it down, but this girl has been SO easy. Super smart young horse. You can watch her “thinking” through the turn. They have to cross over front and hind to keep the cart balanced and she’s already got that gifted out from pulling the travois. Just a couple more sessions and she’ll be cruising all over. Love seeing her wheels turning! (All the pun intended) ❤️❤️ #honestlyhorses #drivingtraining #moresian #horsetraining #carthorse
Here’s a quick tip on keeping those darn buckles from coming undone! #honestlyhorses #flysheet #horsehacks #barntip
This kid! She’s not done a lot of canter work, so I’m super proud of her rode on Nuttah! #nuttahodyssey #honestlyhorses #horseforsale #aqhamare
I’ve been asked by a couple folks if Nuttah is “beginner friendly”. I don’t consider her a beginner horse because she’s got a lot of “buttons” and that’s not usually helpful for a beginner. I would say she’s “friendly” though as I put a beginner on her year and she was really #honestlyhorses #aqhamare #nuttahodyssey #horseforsale #trailhorse #westerndressage
My grandson, Klayton, celebrated his first birthday over the weekend. It’s crazy how fast time goes by. We gave him a party, while they were here in early June. We also discovered that the boy loves to ride! He’s giggling the whole way. Missing my kids and grands and so grateful for the joy they bring me. #honestlyhorses #familytime #Babycowboy
No lessons Sunday!
We are so grateful for rain. I guess we should have asked for it to be spread out, instead of all at once, though. #honestlyhorses #rainisagoodthing
