Neither were as impressed with the dummy as I was. They did exceptionally well, so that’s a plus!

If you need anyone to ride your c**t for you first, this guy is the best in the biz. Works for free and isn’t scared of anything! You’d think he was tied to the seat!

If they can get this guy off, I figure I have no business being up there anyway!

I guess it’s time to get some saddle work under the 2 yo’s belt

She did extremely well today being introduced to a saddle. W/t/c both ways, flexing, and switching directions. She picks things up extremely quick.

If i had to make a guess, I’d say she’ll have a rider by next week if not sooner. We will see how the next few days go.

I must be shrinking lol

We went to Indiana today to grab this little guy❤️
He’s kind of an ugly duckling right now, so I thought the name Goose fit him well.
His mom is a cowbred mare and dad is a Percheron.
My horses looked quite surprised to meet him, lol!

‼️PSA‼️

I wanted to hop on here and let everyone know that I will not be taking any training horses in for the year 2024.

We had a wonderful year last year with really great people. I’m thankful for everyone who has supported this page, and everyone who kept me more than busy for 2023.

I will be taking in projects to resale after they have miles on them, so keep an eye out for their updates!

I will also be posting some of my personal horse updates since they’ve been on the back burner.

I’m excited to be taking a step back, but look forward to getting training horses in again when the time is right!

As always, feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I’m happy to help in any way I can❤️

2 steps forward 100 steps back sometimes and that’s okay.

Tux got his catch rope put back on today. He’s been giving me trouble putting a lead rope on him so catch rope of shame it is for the time being.

He’s my first ex bronc, and someone told me something I needed to hear.

“You have to stop looking at him for what he was, and look at him for what he is now. Just a horse”

I’ll tell you what, I’m ready to hike my big girl britches up and get him rode after hearing that😂

When introducing a rider for the first time, many people want to see w/t/c right away. I’m not one of those people. I’m not saying they’re wrong, it’s just simply not my style. During a first introduction, I look for a horse that’s standing to be mounted, quiet while I’m getting my leg over, and one who doesn’t want to take a step without direction to do so. You’ll see at the end, once I’m off, I take her away from where I was getting on/off. I do this so that I am the one still in control of their feet. I don’t want my horses taking off while I’m mounting, while I’m adjusting myself, etc. This is all a set up for a great foundation and a well-mannered horse. #horsetraining #coltstarting #horsetrainer #horsemanship

I didn’t plan on working any horses today. Kind of had a lazy Sunday planned for myself after being busy all week, but of course I ended up riding with some friends. Today for fun we started introducing the lay down while mounted. She’s taking to it quickly, but as you can see she caught me off guard standing back up right away🤣 I love my little roan❤️

He really does best with positive reinforcement!

I’ve been working with Tux on ground tying, and coming when called (whistle). He’s doing very well. I do like to do some liberty exercises with him so he can feel a bit more comfortable of his own actions. It also takes a step away from all the “scary” work, and gives him some time to decompress. He’s such a sweet boy❤️

Say hello to this cutie! She is a 5 year old BLM mustang who likes to buck her rider off. She has learned that getting the rider off=done working. We are going to restart under saddle. Here is her first session with weighted legs. She did bolt as soon as they were on, but we didn’t get that on video. She didn’t offer to buck, but did want to run away, and fast. She settled in after about a minute of freak out. Here is her lunging and figuring things out. She did very well overall. A lot of licking and chewing when I took them off as well!

Tonight Tux got brushed for his first time! He also surprised me and let me walk right up and pet him. When I back away, he followed and let me pet him again. I am in absolute awe still! I swear this big guy gets to me every time he has a breakthrough. Tugs on my heartstrings ❤️

When I say I cried… I mean real tears, I’m still crying. This is such a huge step. I didn’t mess with him for the last 2 days. I would go in, give him new hay/water, and his mash. That’s it. Today, Tux reached out to me. Nibbling on my sweater with his lips until I pet him. He’s truly special. He’s won my heart already. He’s going to make his owner a really great horse one day. I’m so grateful to be apart of his journey ❤️
