Meet one of my newer barrel students Veronica. She came to me knowing very little English. Despite the language barrier we have made head way on her barrel training. Her father was happy that I am a firm trainer, and wanted me only to speak English to her, because he wants her to learn the language. I'd definitely say she has improved on both her riding and her English. She's a great student and a tough rider, and has made a lot of progress on the pattern. 😊
Could this be love? Lol. Love these two. ❤️ Boomer and Libertys daily routine when they get turned out together.

Student Rylee making good progress with her posting trot and learning to check and change her diagonals. She is looking forward to showing for her first time this coming show season. 🥰
Barrel student Maya making a run on the pattern during her lesson on Natasha. Maya is getting more comfortable with the speed. Soon these to two will be entering their first race together. They make a good team, so I'm sure they will do well. :)
Student Zoie placing 5th on the Poles on my mare Marley at the Craig Troyer Memorial Buckle/Saddle series at Davie Rodeo.
Student Tatjana getting in some practice over the jumps at the show grounds on Roxy. Roxy is green over fences, but I see lots of potential in this mare. Tatjana and her are going to do great things together. I am big on making my students trot into jumps. It's great for a green horse as well as a rider to learn how to confidently get over a jump at the trot. For both the horse and rider to learn how to keep the pace and to see a distance without having to race to it to get over it. It's important for a horse to learn what it's takes for them to get over a jump at the trot, so they can learn how to use their body correctly over the jump, to pick up their feet without rushing to it and jumping flat.
Student Zoie running a 14.696 on my mare Marley at the On Demand Pest Control Buckle Series at Davie Rodeo. Winning 1st place in the Open 2D and winning 2nd place in the Youth 1D. Congratulations, Zoie! Keep turning and burning!! It is always very rewarding to see my students excel and to be a part of their journey to help them achieve their goals. I am a firm trainer, but it's because I am passionate about what I do. I put my whole heart into teaching my students to help them become great riders and competitors. To bring out the best in themselves, to be confident at what their doing, and to have the ability to ride any horse they swing their leg over. It is not only awesome to see my students do well, but it's also great to be able to see my students do well on horses that I have trained and integrated into my program. Being in this line of work can have its ups and downs, but these moments are what it's all about! These are the ups that us trainers love, and it is what keeps us doing what we do! I am proud of you, Zoie, and all my students! You are all warriors! ❤️ Take that same energy with you throughout the rest of your life, and you will go far!
Lots of nice trails and beautiful Equestrian parks all in riding distance from Showclass Stables. Offering advanced trail rides for the avid rider.
