🗒️Dear young/new horse trainers (myself included) ,

🛑Don’t doubt yourself!
It’s awesome to research and look at every training method out there but at the end of the day, stick to your gut, do what YOU think is right for THE HORSE. It doesn’t matter what the owner is saying, doing, or pressuring you to do. Stay true to the horse and yourself, do what you think is right. If it’s not a good match, it’s ok to get out. The word no isn’t a bad word!

🛑Don’t compare yourself to others!
It’s great to have mentors and roll models but don’t beat yourself up over what other people are doing! Everyone is on their own path in this horse training world.
Some want the big shows, some want to sell 50 horses a year, some want to start all the colts they can, do what YOU want to do!

👏👏Support one another! There are SO MANY horses, barns, and owners to go around! It is not a competition! Help each other and support each other whenever you get the chance!

🤠Most importantly remember WHY you started!
Remember the little girl who wanted to go to the barn and ride in the hot, cold, rain, snow, ice, every single day she’d do anything to go to the barn!
Now you’re living her dream and don’t forget that! Don’t get burnt out, take time to brush your own horse and go on happy trail rides or just ba****ck it around the barn.

🐴🤠 Just my thoughts on this beautiful muddy day!

So excited for this opportunity!!

⚜️⚜️Meet professional division trainer⚜️⚜️
Breanna Wade Frey

“My name is Breanna, and I have been passionate about horses for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I spent countless hours riding and working with my own horse, as well as any others I had the opportunity to handle. Over time, I developed a love for helping others with their horses, which naturally led me to pursue a deeper understanding of horsemanship and training.

In 2017, I completed an apprenticeship with renowned trainer Ken McNabb, followed by earning my Journeyman certification in 2018 and achieving my Master’s certification in 2019. In 2020, I returned to assist with a Trail Rider University clinic and have since continued to teach and learn alongside Ken at his annual clinics in Yadkinville, NC.

I specialize in working with young and challenging horses, focusing on building their confidence and willingness by understanding their unique personalities. My approach emphasizes helping horses reach their full potential, and I find great joy in witnessing the moment they begin to truly understand what we are working on together.

My goal is to help horses and their owners develop strong, lasting partnerships, ensuring the right fit between horse and rider, and creating a deeper connection and understanding between them.”

🍁🍂FALL is here 🍁🍂
This really means
‼️‼️COLIC season is here‼️‼️

Look at these temperatures coming up this week, down to high 30s some nights then back up to 60s- 70s some days 😵‍💫😵‍💫

I thought I would share again what I do to help keep my horses drinking and help prevent anyone from colicing or getting dehydrated!

💡Remember, cooler weather may mean your horse isn’t drinking as much or enough!

A few things YOU can do!

🧂- Add a little bit of salt to their food and put some mineral/salt blocks out!

💦 Electrolytes! - add electrolytes to their food! (If you are adding salt I wouldn’t do both- pick one or the other, in my experience some horses can be picky with the electrolyte taste so see which one your horse will eat better!)

☕️ make them a Tea! 🤩 This one is the one I do religiously!
Start by finding a smaller trough (I use the ‘muck buckets’) and then take a small amount of grain, senior feed, pellets, or whatever your horse loves!
Dump the handfuls of grain or pellets into the smaller trough then fill it up! After a few minutes it will soak up and make a nice ‘tea’.

I like to make this while my horses are eating their breakfast so that way when they’re done they all make their rounds by the water and I can see everyone drinking and make sure we’re all getting enough water.
You can do this morning and night!

🧊 The cold rainy days I will do this even 3 times a day. (I’m a bit obsessive)

Something I like to do with horses that seem a bit ‘shut down’ is having them track something! It really gets their curiosity going and opens them up!

This is a great fun exercise for any horse and rider!
On the ground and in the saddle, in the saddle is great when you have another body around to drag items for you! 🤠

If only horses could understand English!
It’d make our jobs a whole lot easier!

🍁 We’re taking advantage of this beautiful weather while it lasts!

Poco is here to learn his next steps as a great riding horse! He was started beautifully earlier this year and came to me for some continuing education!
He’s been on some trail rides and we are fine tuning his leg cues!
He’s such a good boy! 🥰

08/22/2024

We’re really enjoying this weather!!

08/14/2024

I’ve got some openings coming up in September/October/November for anyone looking for a tune up!
I love working with horses on body control and softness in the bridle and their body. Ranch shows, trail obstacles, trail miles, or just arena work on anything please reach out! I’d love to help take you and your horse to your next steps together!

Please let me know if you have any questions!
