Today student Diseal graduated training. He came in for a start undersaddle. He wasn’t easy at first but man how I fell in love with him. He became such a good partner undersaddle and today he left to go home. The future is very bright for this 3 year old and I couldn’t thank Kelley Cure-Anderson enough for trusting me with her sweet boy. I will miss him!!!!!
That is a wrap to an amazing horse show weekend! I cant thank my clients enough for letting me bring there young horses along! 3 year old pk has yet again another amazing show! Her owner even got to ride in a class for the first time. 3 year old Diesal had his first outing being only less than 6 weeks under saddle and amazed me with how quiet and willing he was. His walk trot class had 26 entries. We also did the All Age ranchmanship and had a few bobbles but made it through extremely happy!!! A big thankyou to Kaley Barseth for being the best pilot for the horses in the showmanship. Macormick Thom for being the best helper and supporter of this crazy life of mine! And everyone at home for taking care of all my horses so I can leave for the weekend. Also this was Kaleys last show before officially being a Bernhard!!!!! Next show we will both share the same last name and I couldn’t be more exited! These weekends are good for my soul 💙

Super exited for this pair!!! Today was 3 year old diesal’s first ride with his owner Kelley since he was started under saddle ! It went fantastic and I’m so exited for this teams future 💙
It was bittersweet yesterday Dillie graduated yearling school and went on her way back home. Great news is she gets to come back for a start undersaddle in the future.🤩 Dillie came into training for some ground work and gaining knowledge! She learned the showmanship,got ponied, side passing,pressure release exersizes,and desensitizing.She got to be hauled out to her first show and did a fantastic job showing in the halter and in hand trail. She was just a cool horse to be around and get to know! Everything was so easy for her to pick up. I know there’s a super bright future for this filly ahead. Your gonna do big things Dillie 💚
Training horse Pk sporting her beautiful stall sign her owner made her for the barn and the shows! Her owner also got the most perfect halter for her that she will sport at her upcoming shows and ranch futurity. I got gifted this BEAUTIFUL halter for Finn, I can’t thank you guys enough! These horses are gonna be styling!!!!!🥹💗
I’m so proud of training horse Diesel! This guy came in for a start under saddle and he took some time to come around on the ground.Everything is really coming together now and he’s becoming a great student. With about 15-20 rides on this geldings belt i am extremely proud of his willingness to work! Good groundwork is the key to a good start. These horses learn from the ground up how to stop,back,side pass,spin,pressure and release,voice cues and so much more! We have to set them up for success and give them the confidence to succeed. I’m so exited to further his education and watch this gelding develop! ⭐️🖤
Today was a great show day! Hauled all the way down to Peoria and showed dilli and Luna in some halter and in hand trail! It was a great outing and each baby took it outstanding. These two have very bright futures!

Took training horse Pk and Finn out to an open show yesterday! 3 year old Pk stood tied to the trailer next to a busy road all day and didn’t blink an eye. Today kyleigh got to pilot PK for her owners, and did an amazing job showing her in the ranch classes and getting awesome Placings. A big thankyou to my client for letting a close friend get some show miles under her belt. And also a big thanks to my fiance for working his butt of to help lol! Pk is growing on all of us for sure and only took the best care of her rider! Proud moments!!!!

To say I’m grateful for these two great horses and a great friend is an understatement……always a huge thankyou to my fiancé Macormick Thom for being the best help! Seeing cheek be able to thrive with my friends is so rewarding. He might be 19 but that horse loves to show and knows when it’s time to show! I’ll never find another one of these two horses in my whole life so I’m gonna live that up. Cheers to a great day!!!!!! And some damn great horses 🙏💕

This little yearling filly has been so much fun to work with! Old cheek got to pony her around today and show her the ropes. She is here to learn some basic ground work! Like showmanship, in hand trail work and doing grown up horse things! It’s so important to handle these yearlings because it makes SUCH a difference! It doesn’t mean hard work for them. There’s so much small things these young horses can learn to set them up for success. Handling matters!!!!!! 🩷
Recently welcomed 3 new faces to my program! We have joker a 4 year old quarter horse in for some more time under saddle. Diesel a 2 year old for a start under saddle. And then Dillie the most ADORABLE little yearling app filly for some showmanship/in hand trail and basic ground work. I’m so exited to be adding more horses to my program! I’m so happy to look forward to going to work everyday and working with this amazing batch of horses I have in now, including Pk,Trashy, and Izabelle. I’m loving every minute of this! So grateful for my clients and these horses! 🩷🙏
Show photos from last weekend!
We hauled out to the Get Spotted horse show in Cloverdale Indiana this past weekend. Kaley Barseth did a phenomal job piloting Maid U Dream in the Non-Pro Ranch Events. Simply Finnomenal also showed very well in the Jr. Horse Ranch Events. Looking forward to more Appaloosa shows this year. Of course a big thanks to my mom for spending this weekend with us and making it so fun! She was great help, Love you mom! Fun fact my mom purchased Maid U Dream when I was 11 years old. He has been around for some time now. I Couldn’t do it without her! She is a big reason of where I am today and I can’t be grateful enough….. ✅💚

You have to get out there and just do it! I think are minds can be the biggest barriers sometimes. If I listened to my thoughts and didn’t leave my comfort zone I wouldn’t be here today. I’m so happy to have this little life I’m working hard to create and build on. I can say everyday I wake up exited to go do my job. Of course we have bad days too but I am so happy and grateful for my career and everyone who continues to support me. Go out there and get out of that comfort zone. It’s so rewarding on the other end and so much to learn along that path! YOU CAN DO IT! Everyone starts somewhere! 😇

I’m so proud of this mare! 2nd ride today on this 8 year old and I had a very calm and collected Tilly girl! We’ve worked hard to get to here. I’m so grateful I get to give this horse a shot at being a good riding horse and being a working lady! 🩷 so much in store for us.
Finn is such a talented smart 3 year old. There’s so much you can dive into working your horse on the ground! He’s so light you don’t even have to touch him lol ! #nohands
Here’s Tilly working the bridge today! I’m so proud of this horse and her progress! When I started with Tilly it was pretty rough and she just “didn’t know”. She is learning so fast and just needed time to come around to me. We’ve hit some hard spots and worked thru and made her more confident! Everything is finally clicking with her and I sat on her today!! Didn’t record but hoping for Tilly’s first ride soon! I’m so happy with this mare and what she is becoming 🥺🥰
This is how a first ride should look like when you properly prepare your horse for its first ride. Neptune was so confident,quiet, and willing. She was ready for this step today. “Stealing” the first ride is the worst thing you can do. It’s all about checking all those boxes and making a confident young horse ready to be ridden. I’m so proud of her and so exited to start bringing her aloung in her riding career! Good girl Neptune!!!!! 😌🥰
So so happy with 3 year old Atkins progress! Him and his owner are doing so well together. Late nights and long days of working these horses is so rewarding. So grateful to be doing what I love truly and working with some amazing horses and horse owners! Here’s a small clip of me on him today! 💕😍
Bitter sweet today as ivy headed home from her 2.5 months of training with me. Ivy came in to have a light start under saddle for her owner and she went home today a started horse! It’s been a pleasure to work with her as she was so quiet/smart and on the lazy side! The best part of this job is looking back on all the progress you’ve made and seeing these horses leave with an awesome foundation! Starting young horses has been such a passion of mine and is just so rewarding. I’m so exited to see what this 2 year old will accomplish with her owner in the future!
2 year old ivy’s first lope under saddle. So proud of starting this young filly and giving her the correct soft start she needed! She is amazing!
Those end session feels!!! Nala is here for 60 days. First session with Nala was a success! Today was a groundwork day! We worked on getting her to be soft coming off pressure. I did lots of bending left and right and then backing her lightly out of my space. In the beginning she was pushing through my space and not really keeping an eye of my body. By the end of our session she was backing with minimal pressure and watching my hoola hoop space much better! She really got to relax by the end of our session today with lots of licking and chewing! She is a sweet one and I’m exited to further her education!
Cheek is the reason I have such a passion of working with horses and starting the young horses right. Teaching horses to go bridle-less was a dream of mine at age 12 owning cheek. It continues to be a goal for every horse I ride! My goal with every horse is to teach them to understand me by the lightest cues possible only using my body cues and voice cues. The lightest pressure possible is key! You can achieve anything by consistency. You become in sync!!!!!
That was a blast! Finn loved every second of today. Thankyou Diamond E Horse Company for hosting such a great event! Best 2 year old ever! I just can’t believe how great he is already. If your looking to get your horse exposed with a great positive group of people here is it!!! 🦄💜
Session 2 with Dee 💖
“Simply Finnomenal” taking a ride today. Finn has about 20ish rides under his belt and I couldn’t be more pleased. Love the mind on this colt. He has been so simple since day one, and so so easy to teach new things to. My favorite part of training is definitely starting the young ones! It’s so important to make everything uncomplicated and offer nothing but good experiences for them. It’s so important to make sure they are ready for this step and it’s clear what we are asking of them. It’s so important to get them as much exposure as possible in many different types of scenarios/ environments. Consistency is 🔑!!!!! I can only buy so many of my own to start and I wanna offer my program to anyone looking for a correct start on there young horses. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing them progress, and build a solid foundation the horse will use throughout their whole career. I would like to call It, setting them up for success! 🏆🥇
