For your consideration - Nate's Dynamite - aka Nate. 11 yr old OTTB, UTD on shots, dental and farrier (shod all around). Currently schooling Training Level dressage and jumping up to 2'3". Good beginner safe horse, can hack out alone/with friends - goes out with two geldings currently and is definitely lower in the pecking order . Has referred polo matches, used in a beginner lesson program and can even ride western. Nate has a more surly/reserved personality but is a wonderful caretaker for his riders. Our assistant rider Summer Sullivan is shown here working with Nate. Asking low 4's OBO.
Highlander schooling yesterday - WTC and a touch of some leg yield. Longer video BUT consistently shows him being him - no edit, no filter - not a highlight reel. Just an honest go around the ring.
A few clips of Kitt schooling this afternoon. We're working on his leg yields (both trot and canter), walk/canter transitions and counter canter here. This guy is really a special horse - he improves ride after ride and is just a joy. For sale - inquire for details!!
Highlander, 11yr old Latvian WB canter loop school
Highlander working his canter loops today. This 11 yr old, imported Latvian WB has had quite the extensive hunter career since arriving in the states. Capable and comfortable - this big guy has a sweet nature.
Kitt schooling w/t/c/leg yeilds
For your consideration
Lunar Knight, aka Kitt
8 yr old, 17'2h, black, OTTB
Located Greer, SC
Confirmed Training Level, scores 68-69%. Can hack out alone/with a buddy. Needs a friend for turnout, barefoot. Has a wonderful, can-do attitude but needs a confident rider - not a beginners mount at this time. 28 track starts and extremely willing to please. Inquire for more info.
Kitt trot/canter/trot transitions
Kitt developing nicely. Stronger, more even, still loads to work on but what a wonderful character!!! A gentleman thru'n'thru.
Richie Canter/Walk/Canter
Richie schooling canter/walk/canter. He's a big boi and the balance has been tricky - slowly but surely it's getting stronger - however long it takes ❤️🙌💪
Kitt 8yr old OTTB trot/canter school April
Kitt is getting ready for the horse show next weekend (8yr old OTTB). This guy has so much heart - it's been just a fun and enjoyable time helping him develop into the amazing horse/partner he is..
Richie schooling December
2021 has been hard for Richie. This spring was TOUGH for his feet particularly - by June he was pulling unimaginable stunts to get out of his shoes. July he was barefoot up front - shod behind (he's huge, he requires shoes) and living in a sand round pen. Fast-forward to the fall - still dealing with crap hoof issues and he ends up overnight (3 days, 2 nights 😎) in the isolation ward of the vet clinic for almost dying from his fall shots. Last week he had finally grown enough hoof for some shoes🙌😭🤞. Horses - training - it's all just this massive rollercoaster of emotion and messy learning. This is a small clip from our second ride post new shoes ❤️❤️❤️ loads to work on but he just feels ready for it all! This boy - he's my world and I'm so looking forward to 2022. Onward and upward 💪🙌🦄.
Country December Schooling rides
Some clips from this past few weeks of training with Country - really really special horse. Very eager to learn - a treat 💗🦄
Kitt getting ready for his dressage show debut this weekend at TIEC. Looking forward to expanding his resume and having a positive experience.
Country - training Level school in the derby field
Trot and canter work from Country in the regulation sized ring from Premier Equestrian at the beautiful Lazy R Farm. I can't begin to express my gratitude to the owners of this wonderful facility and this cheeky monkey of a horse. Getting to school in a beautiful setting, and develop a solid foundation before show day is priceless.
Nothing fancy in the work - just working on basics. Looking forward to showing him at Training Level in a few weeks.
Kitt - OTTB trot and canter
Training session with Kitt - 7 yr old OTTB today. I am so grateful for the tidbits we picked up at the Pam Goodrich clinic several weeks back. Her insight into Kitts balance was just everything - a work in progress but so loving how he's developing.
Canter and trot - Country
Country getting more consistent - it's the little things day in and day out. Training is accomplished in micro scale - a touch more contact, a smidge better off your leg - whatever it is I'm reminded of Frank telling me - ask for much, be content with little and reward often. He also would say Hell is the GPS to Heaven 😂😂 the man was never wrong!!
Kitt - Canter/trot transitions and commentary 😜
Kitt at the second day of the Pam Goodrich clinic - such a great experience for this guy. Thrilled with what we accomplished. 7 yr old OTTB, working and showing at Training Level.
