No place I’d rather be ❤️

Gunnar & Gracie are still here! After Gunner got gelded I decided they needed some time to finish getting healthy. They have had time to finish decompressing after all the places they’ve been bounced from. I found out they started their journey in Indiana and made their way down to the Carolinas.

I’m eager to get these two going here soon!

This pretty lady is here all the way from Florida for some training!
She is as anxious as they come.
She has been drilled and drilled and drilled and being ‘cowboy’d’ (lack of a better word)

She doesn’t know how to relax and is always quick to give you any answer without thinking through what she’s doing.

The downside of doing too much ground work is they can start to do it automatically without having a thought behind what they’re doing. *just my opinion*
Ground work is SO important , if it’s done right.

Now I have to try & delete what she’s been taught and add purpose to our working together.

We are starting completely over and moving forward from the beginning .
Today we simply worked on stopping and resting between direction changes on the lunge line.
As lame as that sounds she likes to (at least today with me) just turn and burn on direction changes. So we are slowing everything out to wait for our cue before we just decide to turn around.
We are working on relaxing her face and neck, she’s so incredibly tense and flips her bottom lip & tenses her chin 95% of the time she’s in the arena ‘working’.

Follow along for her journey to less anxiety!

Thank you Cameo Fencing: The Safe Horse Fencing System for providing excellent quality & SAFE fencing for my farm!

We are planning replacing all non wooden fences, & all new pastures I have with Cameo Fencing!

They have been super easy to talk to & even easier to install! I look forward to ordering more in the near future!

This little horse and her owner came by this week just to see some sites at a new place. Her mare was being so good we ended up doing her first ground driving session! This filly is going to be a fun one! 🤠

THIS SATURDAY mini clinic 10-12!

📆August 30th 📆
⏱️10am-12pm
💰 $80 per horse & rider!

Show arena/busy arena practice!

Have you ever been in a show and your horse just wants to race everyone else?

You feel like your horse is just listening to the other horses around him but not you?

Want to feel like you can have control over your horse in a show environment?

This would be for you!
This will only be held if 3 or more people sign up.
It’s hard to work on a show environment if we only have 2 horses!

In this ‘group lesson’ ‘mini clinic’ we will work on ‘who’s riding your horse?’ Are you riding/guiding your horse or is my horse guiding your horse?

We will work on ground tying, speed control under saddle, and a few other fun group exercises!

Please let me know if anyone has any interest!
