Damn right 😎 We work hard to make sure our equine partners are cared for like the athletes they are.

The original Britches crew hit Circle G's winter series this morning and we all had nice clean runs! We'll see how the placings shake out.

Now onto the last Ugly Sweater show next weekend!

Y'all guessed it! We're hosting a summer series!

Get those 💪 ready for the Farmer's Tan Gymkhana 😎

We are finalizing details with Miami County Fairgrounds for this series, but tentative details are below.

As we come up to the end of our Ugly Sweater Gymkhana Series, there are more big things coming up soon. 👀

April 5th is our Groundwork Clinic , and spots are starting to fill quickly!

April 6th is our Youth/Teen Barn Day with pizza and riding at the barn.

And we have another BIG announcement coming soon too. Any guesses what it might be?

BE DELUSIONAL!

Believe you can make it work no matter what...

Believe that regardless of what happens, it'll
all work out in the end...

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES!

Anything and everything else leads to self-
sabotage and failure.

If you don't believe you have what it takes
then your subconscious will do everything it
can to prove that you're right.

You don't need to be special or talented, you
don't need all the support in the world.

All you need is to believe with every ounce of
your being that you can make it work.

And sooner or later, it will work...

YOU WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN!

You don't have to be the most talented, have the nicest horses, or the most money...

You just need a BIG work ethic, a "NEVER QUIT" mentality, and a strong passion for what you are doing.

Hard work will beat talent every time when talent isn't willing to work.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE...

BE ALL-IN...

THIS IS YOUR LIFE...

OWN IT!

One of the many things we cover and practice in our upcoming Groundwork Clinic is proper tying of both the horse on lead and a rope halter! Knowing how to properly tie, and when to hard tie vs. soft tie, can make a huge difference in your horsemanship and how your horse understands giving to pressure.

One of our biggest pet peeves!

Tying your halter on correctly can help prevent needing to cut it off when a set back occurs! It’s also a prettier look 😉.

Happy Sunday! We are working on customs today while getting ready for the fresh week!

January 5th we brought home two ponies for training. 60 days in they have shown SO much improvement. Beans (the palomino) has been a regular in our Saddle Tots program and the kids LOVE her. She showed us very early that while she was young, she had a great mind

Kasida (the gray) was much more green and had a little slower start but she's doing well in lessons with our more advanced kids.

Remember those lesson horses who carry you safely while you learn, and those who challenge you to grow. They are the ones who first helped you to fly.

That time when your horse isn’t quite right, but you don’t know why…
The small trainer notices.

Who’s going to spend two hours with your two year-old every day to make sure they get a solid foundation?
The small trainer.

What about the horse who doesn’t have the strongest maternal lines?
It’s the small trainer that gives them a chance.

You’ve never done it before, but wanna give it a try?
The small trainer won’t judge you.

Who’s going to take an extra 30 minutes to make sure that turn is in a perfect place to end on?
The small trainer.

Who’s going to walk through the barn at 10 o’clock at night and lay eyes on your pride and joy themselves?
The small trainer.

Who’s going to do their very best to make your dreams affordable?
The small trainer.

Who will keep your horse liking their job?
The small trainer.

Who will try every trick in the book to pull every ounce of talent out of your horse?
The small trainer.

Don’t underestimate the small trainer.

There have been several deadly accidents lately where people have lost their lives or the lives of their horses due to ignorance or negligence by other drivers.

Please be aware that the lives we haul are our babies, they mean the world to us.

Give trailers room. Don't pull out in front of us. If you must pass, do it when it is safe and legal to do so. You're not gonna get there any faster by cutting us off or passing unsafely.

Just be courteous on the road, and we can ALL get where we're going safely.

If you’ve never pulled a trailer, you may not realize just how challenging it can be, especially in heavy traffic. People hauling horses are already dealing with extra weight, longer stopping distances, and tight turns. That’s where YOU come in!

Here’s how you can help keep drivers—and their horses—safe on the road: https://bit.ly/3udEbFt
