Dusty has assisted with enough private lessons, she’s ready to join the staff and take over now.

Tonight our student Jane was able to check off her ba****ck walk/trot requirement on our lesson gelding Bo, who was a perfect gentleman for her!

Thanks to Tracy Dalton once again for excellent essential instruction this weekend!

These classes showed clearly that if your horsemanship foundation is solid, you can really successfully go any direction!

Thanks to all the riders who joined us across four group classes. Hopefully everyone who rode will go forward with just a little more attention to detail and precision.

❄️ Next weekend! Tracy Dalton will return to the barn for the Intro to Poles, Cavaletti and Jumping Clinic!

❄️ Private and group riding spots available Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Note this schedule change! If you have already scheduled for Sunday afternoon, Christy will get a hold of you.

❄️ This is a very affordable clinic with a top-notch instructor, and the concepts are foundational to both English and Western riders!

I love how Sky is combining her talents!! ♥️ Message her for info about bodywork at the barn.

The point of release in a massage is when the horse releases tension.

Some of the main signs of release in horses are: licking, chewing, blinking, yawning, shaking, farting, pooping etc.

Message me if you would like to add your horse to the schedule. Thank you!

🏆 Congratulations to Lyvia, Larissa and Dani for leveling up in the C Bracket Riding School!

🏆 These girls worked hard right up until the end of the fall session to accomplish their skill challenges. Lyvia is now in Level 2, while Larissa and Dani moved up to Level 3.

🏆 Our lesson horses Woody, Buck and Dandy helped them finish their lists!

🏆 While we work through our skills lists as well as we can in a group class, the focused attention of private lessons certainly accelerates progress.

☕️ This week we are celebrating our last week of the fall riding session with our horseback hot cocoa party!

☕️ Students go through obstacles “over the river and through the woods” to collect all the pieces they need to create the reward of a hot cup of cocoa at the end of the course.

☕️ Advanced students add a challenge by making it a timed event!

☕️ In December we offer private and semi-private lessons before beginning our winter riding session in January.

☕️ Reserve semi-private here (perfect for siblings, couples or small friend groups of 2-3 riders in a similar riding level): https://CBracketRidingSchedule.as.me/Semi-Private
