Weekend DIY Project 🔨

Being a DIY Adult Ammy is all fun and games until the bugs are out of control 🤣 In an effort to not spend $300 on one of these bugs balls we DIY'ed this one for $10. If it works out well I will be making more.

We love our Equiband + poll days 😍

Using the Equiband (mine has been swapped out with different bands) helps the horses think about activating their core and engage their hind end. Adding in some poles will help do those things plus increase the proprioceptive value of the exercise.

A great way to get in a low impact exercise when the humidity is crazy!! 🥵

GQ making 22 look fantastic. (He's a big fan of snack-a-more time 🤣)

Can't be too upset hunting for fly masks when your view looks like this 🌅😍

Neighs all got bubble baths today 🛀🏻 Hopefully we are past this dreadful heatwave and it takes the deer flies with is 🪰

Hot Weather = Lunging Schools 🔥

BBQ has been taking full advantage of this weather by practicing his lunging in preparation to ridden work again. I love taking it slow and steady with this one because he is something special ✨

Freshly cut and stacked 💁🏻‍♀️

We take here seriously. A fresh locally sourced load of high quality hay has been delivered and stacked for the boys. 💪🏻

Straight back to work 💪🏻

Working on some shallow leg yielding with Dalton to get him coming through his whole body and fall into my outside rein. Also to get my body remembering where it goes (ie not being super crooked 🫣)

Long time no post!

It's finally grazing time here. After a long, never-ending and soul-crushing mud season, the grass has finally sprouted. The boys are working up to full turnout on grass, starting their first hour-long grazing interval today. That means I need to finish putting up the fencing in the big pasture 🫠

Other than that lots of lunging and ground work here due to a major concussion on my end. Hope to start riding soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Working on getting 'before' pics of all the kids as we come out of winter. Can we appreciate how great Dalton's top line held steady over the winter?? He may be a bit on the pudgy side but those extra hay pounds will fall off once the weather begins to cooperate 🤪🥶❄️

He's just Dalton 😎

We're having so much fun Road Hacking. I can assure you there was no cantering but we did get some good trotting done where the footing was good on the shoulder of the road. Dalton has officially entered "Fat Boy Camp" to burn off those winter calories 🏋🏻‍♀️☀️

BBQ has been working hard on his Quad exercises 💪🏻

Over the winter because the footing has been terrible in turnout the ponies have been moving around less. Because of that BBQ has lost a bit of Quadriceps muscling causing him to toe out more behind. We've been working this spring to build that back up before we begin riding again!

To do that I warm him up over poles at the walk. For him that are set 3ft apart to really ask him to lift and stretch. Then after the poles we will do our quad exercise. This involves first standing square then gently pulling on the tail asking the horse to shift weight onto that leg, loading the quadriceps muscle. I hold this for 1 second rest for 2 seconds. I do 10 reps of this on each side every other day. We will slowly begin to build up the amount of reps we do.

I do love some good Pony Pilates 🏋🏻‍♀️

GQ has been working hard at increasing strength and flexibility this winter with ground poles. The goal of using the ground poles is to not only have him become more aware of where his feet are but to help articulate his joints. GQ will always be a bit weak in his hind end due to having EPM a couple years ago and now being almost 22 😱. With some pony pilates it's helped keep him in shape this winter. Hopefully he'll be a trail riding king this summer 😊🌞

Dalton taking the chance to show off one the pretty ribbons he won as a year end award from the SunShine Horse Show Series we participated in this summer 💕🎉

A happy baby horse after playing around a little bit with our target training ❤️☃️

With limited daylight hours I love incorporating quick 5-10 mins sessions of R+ training with BBQ. I like to have multiple straight-forward and easy to understand tools in our toolbox so if problems arise later on in training we have great rewarding tools to refer back too. 👩🏻‍🔧

I am reinforcing the target currently as on our hand walks he has entered his distracted looky phase. With adding the target it will give his brain something to process while we work on building strength and endurance on hand walks 🤗☃️

Dalton had his first ride back after a few months off. The holiday season gets hectic so the neighs get a vacation! 😎☃️

He was absolutely lovely, just a little fresh but I would say it's the best his come back from an extended period of time off (no fancy Lipizzaner moves today🤭). We went a short road hack which we will do a good amount of to help build his fitness back up while our grass ring is under water (🙃).

We also got to use our cute laser engraved Quarter Sheet ❤️

Now to get ready for freezing temperatures and snow again.

BBQ has been working on going on some walks lately. It's gotten him out of the paddocks and looking at new things. He only likes to act like a Lipizzaner once every walk 🤣 spicy cold baby ☃️🐎 Doing hand walks around the property has been great exercise for the horses (and myself 🤣) during this cold snap. I can leave their blankies on and stay bundled in my snow pants 🥶 #howdoyouwinter

How do you winter? ❄️☃️ Winters suck, but they suck less with friends. I decided this winter to do a little series entitled "How do you winter?" The goal is to help me feel a little more inspired to put my snow pants on and go play with my ponies. 🤩 I plan on documenting my journey with my horses through the winter months. Hopefully I can inspire my friends who may not travel to the land of palm trees🌴 and ponies 🦄 or even have a nice cozy indoor to call their own for the winter. Soooo..... #howdoyouwinter?
