Help us welcome and say thank you to our sponsors for the upcoming year! The Armour Team Real Estate Group and The Heartland Pines Wedding and Event Venue! They have been super generous supporting my business and making it possible for me to go show horses and teach lessons and train and do all the things I do to further my mission of improving horse-human relationships in my sphere of influence. Thank you!!

Interior painting is mostly done and we’ve got a temporary round pen to use until the footing goes in.

Everything’s primed, ready for the final color. Temporary lights installed until the actual lighting system arrives.

More progress today.

Do any of you run a podcast and are looking for guests? I’m looking to start doing podcast appearances to talk about horse training. Even if your podcast has nothing to do with horses, I’m all about relating the things I learn from horses to all aspects of life. I’d love to chat with you or anyone you know who has a podcast to see if I’d be a good fit as a guest. Thanks in advance!

I love all of this guy’s videos, but this one is particularly true!

Trenching in the electric line to the new indoor arena! Excited to have lights and power! The lighting plan has 420,000 lumens inside! I think that should be bright enough! lol. Next to figure out is a speaker system. If anyone is an expert on dustproof speaker systems let me know!

Check out my new video showing putting in the LAST BOLT in the new indoor arena! I show you how we did the whole process including rappelling down the side of the building!

Watch as the last bolt goes into a year-long project of building a 100ft x 70ft quonset hut for an indoor riding arena.

I’ve got my own snow cave!

We picked up a nice pair of kid spurs for one of my young students while we were in Texas a couple months ago and apparently it made an impact cause when given the assignment of choosing a happy moment she remembered receiving her spurs from me! So fun to see kids who really love horsemanship!

Arches done, end walls going up! Won’t be too long before we’re riding inside!

Ok guys, I try not to ask for help very often, but I’m asking now. I could really use some extra hands over the next week finishing building our indoor arena. I’ll have machinery (Telehandler and genie lift) here from tomorrow till November 1st. We’ll also have a work light tower so we can work in the evenings as well. If you have time and inclination, please message me with when you can come out so we can plan and I would love to have your help! I can repay with food, drink, comaradarie, and the satisfaction after a hard day’s work!
If you’re not a heights person, there’s plenty of work to do on the ground assembling the arches before lifting them into place. If you love heights, you can drive each bolt from above or back the nut from below. We have a good system, just need more hands! If you’d like to help but don’t have tools, that’s totally fine we have plenty of tools.
If you do have a power drill/impact wrench with a 1/2 in socket drive, bring it along.

Thank you in advance!!

One of my clients had a great quote yesterday, he said “it’s better to spend all the time you need on the ground working with your horse than to be looking up at your horse while you’re laying on the ground later on”.

Beautifully groomed ski slope or a perfectly groomed riding arena. Where would rather be on a beautiful spring day? Leave a comment tell us where and why!
