Happy everyone! This week’s pick is a new coming to our program, and we are so happy to have this cool dude 😎 and his equally as cool owner! Big welcome to Cooley and ! They are so great to work with and it’s super fun to have a youngster in training again. Just turning six, Cooley is kind of a goofy teenager, but very eager to please and quick to learn. He’s already made huge progress over the last couple of months working with them. Amanda and Cooley are eventers, and while I don’t at all claim to be an eventing trainer, I’m flattered that they’ve in-trusted me to help them on their journey. Greenish thoroughbreds are my favorite and I’m excited to have this pair as a part of the HHHJ team!

I was maybe 21 or 22 when I had a lesson that’s stayed with me ever since.

It was one of those early spring days when the arena was still cold, but the sun was shinning.

My horse, a spirited youngster, was tense, and so was I. We were both fighting each other, me trying to hold everything together, him trying to escape everything I was holding.

My trainer at the time was soft-spoken, but her feel in the saddle was sharper than any words. She called me into the middle with just a glance.

She didn’t say much. Just walked up, took the reins from my hands, and held them for a moment.

Then she looked at me and said,
"You’re holding your breath. And you’re holding the reins the same way."

I laughed awkwardly, because she wasn’t wrong.

“Okay,” I said. “Soften my hands. Try not to die. Breathe. Got it.”

But she shook her head.

“No, it’s more than that,” she said. “The reins are the breath of the ride. They should move like breath. Expand. Release. Flow.”

I don’t remember the rest of the ride. But I remember sitting in silence at the end of the day, thinking about what she said.

Back then, I didn’t fully get it. I was too focused on outline, on contact, on “getting it right.” But over time, the lesson kept echoing back to me. Especially in the harder rides, the ones where nothing seemed to click.

And I started to notice:

When I held my breath, I held the reins.
When I was soft and present, so were they.
And when the reins breathed, so did my horse.

The reins aren't tools of control.
They’re a shared inhale, a shared exhale.
A rhythm not made of sound, but of feel.

Now, years later, it’s one of the first things I feel for in every ride:

Are we breathing?
Are we listening?

Because that space, the space between pressure and release, between ask and allow,
that’s where the magic lives.

That’s the breath of dressage.

Do y’all know what today is? It’s Thursday.. and guess what.. I’m bringing it back.. !!! This week, an HHHJ favorite, Danny! Just look at this stunning red head. He and .lynch have come so far and I’m super grateful for the all the time I’ve been able to spend with them on their journey. Danny has been a steady eddy rock star over the last year or two. And another plus, he loves Logan and is so sweet with him! You are one of a kind Danny. I can’t wait to see what you and your rider will accomplish in the future!

Hello everyone! I know I haven’t been keeping up with my posts, and that is because I’ve been working really hard on something very exciting… HHHJ is finally settled in at our new own home at Fawnwood Ranch! So excited for the opportunity to lease this beautiful facility and the horses are absolutely loving it. We had gorgeous weather for our first full week of lessons and training, and everyone is settling in nicely and enjoying the acres of pastures, free choice hay, and the happy vibes. So grateful to everyone who made this possible and I can’t wait to see the horses continue to thrive and for our barn family to excel together at our new home. ❤️

Some pictures from a couple of trail rides over the last few weeks. Soaking up every moment of the warm fall weather before winter hits! So nice to be able to ride off property with clients and have the horses take it all in so well. I think they felt refreshed too!

PS, when your horse over jumps the downhill landing of a very small table jump and you’re not at all prepared, the amount of separation between you and the saddle results in blowing your air vest and your horse bolting at the sound 😆 luckily she’s a saint and only ran away for a couple of strides and somehow I stayed on. Thank you Isabella for being such a good girl! 🦄❤️🤦🏻‍♀️
