I have been training and teaching lessons for the past 23 years. Training is available
for all breeds. I have experience with driving, showing, and trail
riding. I believe that riding should be fun and we should enjoy
our time we spend with our horses so my focus is on creating a
good line of communication between horse and rider.

Aspen Farm spring horse trial was a blast. Taylor and Lava finished 2nd on their dressage score with a super tight scoring group in the top five. She is now qualified for area championships this fall. Weather was a little wild with rain and hail, but Taylor lucked out and all of her rides were in the sun.

Some days I love the view from my office. Cinder is in for trail training and arena finish work. On days like this I love to be out in the woods. She is coming along beautifully. We rode solo and she was brave and confident just walking along through the water, up and down the hills and just walking down the roads.

Meet new training horse Cinder. She is in to gain trail experience and work on trailer loading. We have been taking her out in the woods behind solid, quiet trail horses so she can gain confidence. Sunday she did fantastic and crossed out nastiest water and mud crossing I am so proud of how fast shes coming along with her confidence out in the woods. She’s is relaxed and happy, our two biggest goals.

I feel this! In my teaching daily. For me I love to be pushed when I am being instructed. Watching a great coach and rider together is amazing as you can stand back and learn so much.

Aspen farms area 7 championships. Tay finished 6th on Phoenix in the Junior Beginner Novice championship. Blue and Tay were 2nd in the open beginner novice finishing on their dressage score of 28.4. Lava and I finished 4th in novice on our dressage score of 33.1. Super fun weekend. The weather was perfect and the horses were great. Improvements were made by all the horses. That’s a wrap for this season of eventing. Can’t wait for next season!

Caber farms horse trial had its ups and downs. Taylor and Phoenix completed their first rated event at Beginner Novice finishing 5th, Taylor with Blue’s first time at beginner novice finished 6th and Lava and I didn’t place in novice, but had a really good time. It was a weekend of nice dressage rides, awesome cross country runs, and stadium we all had rails come down. It was still a super fun weekend showing and hanging out with the Three Beat Farm crew as our partners in competition and friendship.

I have been failing with training horse posts lately. Blue is still with us and today he was the really big rock for Madronna and Classy. Madronna is a cute little mule in for a tune up. She had an accident with a horse as a baby and now has one short ear. Doesn’t bother her at all. She did great out in the woods today. Miss Classy is getting better all the time with her owner Tasha.

All Barbara wanted for her 80th birthday this year was to ride a horse again. She grew up riding at her grandparents farm as a child and hasn’t been on a horse since riding at the farm. I was thrilled to help make this birthday wish come true. Breezy was a perfect mount to walk quietly and take care of the special birthday lady.

This weeks training horse adventures…. Hope is in for some trail riding time and general riding as she already had a great start, but they wanted her to have more trail time and I am fortunate enough to have lots of trails right from my barn. She belongs to Sound Equine Options and is looking for her forever home. She’s a super cute paint mare. Very sweet and loves all the barn activity. She did great out in the woods leading and following.
Stormy is a fun little Gypsy who is in for some finishing work under saddle and prep work to be a driving horse. We have been ground driving in the woods working on his confidence going forward in new places.
Clover is headed home this weekend to her new family after being adopted from Sound Equine. She was such a fun pony to have at the barn. I’m sure she will be having lots of fun adventures with her new family.

Watercolors and Clover went on a trail ride today. Clovers first ride out. She’s going to be a great trail pony.

11/09/2022

Available for adoption from Sound Equine Options

Watercolors is a 15.3 hand 2010 saddlebred mare. She loves to trail ride and will lead or follow on a loose rein. She can walk out or mosey along if with a slower horse. Crosses water, mud, and logs no problem. She has arena basics of walk trot and canter along with pivots and side pass. She is brave and will carry a flag, drag a sled, go over tarps. She is a curious horse and wants to check out new things. She can sit without working and come back to work without issue. Super sweet and loves to come snuggle when you go out to see her.
She does have a few quirks. She is happiest living in a loafing shed or stall with a run. She will stall but tends to stall walk. She paws when tied and trailering. Most of this is the fact she just needs more time. She has been in training for about 4 months.
Contact me to view her. Let’s find this girl a home.
Here is the link for the full video. Facebook wouldn’t let me do the whole thing.

Clover is now walk trot and a very first canter ride now. She is coming along so nicely. She wants to please and is a thinker. With time she will end up a fun kids I think.
