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

Reminder! Today is our unmounted class for November, as well as the group makeup class if you’ve missed one this month!

All the little things that might seem tiny or tedious or boring are the real things that influence the bigger picture of balance and partnership with your horse.

If the foundation isn’t solid, the bigger things might be possible but they won’t be pretty!

In group class earlier this week we were reviewing lateral movement with correct bend. We discovered that Coco thinks such things are next to impossible! Especially on the right bend. So in her private lesson today Rosie was able to drill down into some of Coco’s confusion and help her understand it’s really not so bad and we ended with a win. 👏

Ask us about coming to visit the puppies! They are almost 8 weeks old and full of spice.

It’s a good thing we have DJ to keep us all on task during our evening group classes!
