This is our Monday night beginners class, and they are all moving right along with building their skills this fall!

Last night we worked on the mechanics of a rollback on the fence at the walk. I love this drill in slow motion for beginners because it’s heavy on rein management and multitasking.

We also worked more on our trot. Some of these girls are still working on their posting balance and rhythm. Some are perfecting their right and left diagonals - their next step is trotting a figure 8 with a correct change of diagonal.

They have all come a long way since they started!

C Bracket loves the young ones - be they kids or colts!

These two are Violet, the gray, and Clarence, the black. Violet is 3, Clarence is 2, and they are both draft cross from our Iowa Amish connection. Kayla has been helping put rides on all our C} colts, and she’s doing a great job!

They’re a tough looking lot, but best ground crew a playday could ask for. 🙌

Great to see you all this morning! We had 23 contestants across our categories, and also we also handed out Top Horsemanship and Top Sportsmanship awards.

Photos to follow! Send them to Christy if you got some good ones, and video! Her phone was busy being timer the whole time. 😁

Here are the patterns for the tournament today!

We will be in the indoor arena I think, given the dreary conditions! We have a hot cocoa station in the works. ☕️

No riders on the east end of the arena please! All contestants will enter and exit through the west door.

Good luck to all! 🏆

☀️ Happy Friday!

☀️ The first-ever Timed Event Tournament is tomorrow! If you are a current boarder, lessee or 2024 student or camper, come join in on some friendly competition! This takes the place of our fall schooling show, in the spirit of adding some variety.

☀️ All patterns are brand new, but not complex. Nobody has an advantage! Students will compete against others in their skill level. Patterns will be released tomorrow morning.

☀️ Tournament begins at 9 am. Come early to prep and warm up your horse! $25 tournament entry fee + $50 to borrow a C} horse for the day. Every rider will run 5 patterns.

☀️ Up for grabs: Moss Saddles Boots and Tack gift certificates, winter barn gloves, C} merch.

☀️ There is a bonus Horsemanship category that will be judged by a committee and will receive the same prizes! We have quite a few of you on colts and green horses that we *know* will not be super speedy, and we don’t want them to be!

🎖️ Our school horse Tug helped Ellie check off her last two boxes in Level 3 of the C Bracket Riding School today!

🎖️ One of her last boxes was riding a trot pole course with proper changes of trot diagonals.

🎖️ The other was riding a figure 8 at the lope, with correct leads and a simple change.

🎖️ See you in Level 4, Ellie!

Congratulations to Cate on completing Level 1 in the C Bracket Riding School today!

Cate had one remaining box to check off - the emergency stop. All our students learn this important skill from the start, beginning at the walk and moving up through the gaits as their levels advance.

Because we believe in taking our students out and about, and not staying confined to an arena, they all learn to be proficient at the emergency stop. We all know that, if they stick with their horsemanship beyond the reliable school horses, it’s not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ they’ll get in a jam and need some tools in their box to ride through safely. 👍🏻

Hooray for transitioning to indoor lessons after dark. 😝

But on the bright side, we sure are glad to finally see a clear sky after a week! Here’s hoping we finally get a sunny day tomorrow to help with all the moisture we got in that snow storm.

Saturday it looks like we’ll have a good weather day for the Timed Event Tournament! Open to 2024 students and current boarders and lessees. Top average times in each division win prizes, including gift certificates sponsored by Moss Saddles Boots and Tack!

When you’re a three-year-old filly and you realize you’re the last one on the pasture playground.

He’s as homely as he is big, but we sure do have a soft spot for our lesson horse Chief. 🩶

❄️ All the horses are fed and happy! ❄️

Even though it’s still snowing, it’s warm and calm today and conditions are really pretty nice. It’s going to be plenty muddy and puddly around for a little while!

The seasons changed again. 😂

We feed 30 pounds of hay per horse per day, so there’s plenty to go around and keep their bellies full! The best way to keep horses warm is from the inside out, with plenty of forage in their digestive tract.

The barn was busy today, fitting in lessons and trail rides while the weather was still mostly mild. ☀️

While at times the wind today was less than enjoyable, all those cloud layers sure were spectacular

We had our first-ever Treat Trot today for our group horsemanship riders!

We had six stations set up around the barn, and a treasure map guiding groups of students to each treat stash.

I think they all had a lot of fun! 🍭

Since 2014

Do you and your family need more time outside? Less screen time? More fresh air? Less indoors?

The C Bracket Horse Barn is a family-run and family-friendly space for you and yours to enjoy getting outside and spending quality time together with the best kind of therapy - horses!

We offer full-care boarding, where your horse has all he needs to thrive - over 100 acres of free-range pasture, mountain grass hay, heated water in the winter and equine buddies to socialize with.

Riding lessons run in the evenings throughout the warm months - June through September. The barn keeps a herd of steady, seasoned mounts for these lessons, and it is their job to give you and your kids confidence horseback while expanding your equine skills both on the ground and in the saddle.
