Fresh Start Horse Training

Waylon is healing up nicely, had a bit of swelling but went down fast with a jog in the round pen with Ruby. He’s nearly as tall as her already!

Little Waylon had a Big day today! Castration, wolf teeth, hernia repair, vaccines and wormer! He’s going to be one sad boy tomorrow. On the plus side he did really good loading and unloading from the trailer!

Round pen gate complete! So nice to not have a panel tied up with baling twine anymore 😂

Beautiful afternoon to get Ruby and Fi out to play!

Really exciting things happening today! We (by which I mean mostly John 😉) finished the 45 foot high cube container for the horse pen! He cut out the one side and even used a piece of that to make a small grain/tack room at the end with the door. Now I don’t have to keep everything packed in my trailer tack room. He welded hoops onto each end to attach the panels too also. Eventually we’ll build pipe corrals and this will be split into three seperate long pens. But for now it’s nice to have somewhere for them to get out of the wind snow and rain!

We do sell these containers also 🤩 call or message either one of us and we can get you a current price on the can size you want and of course include the trucking 😉 There are lots of different container size and door options! Let talk and we’ll find one to suit your needs!!

We have a new addition to the family, meet Fiona! I had the pleasure of gentling and halter breaking both her parents, who we fell in love with. Now she’s here to stay!

Surprisingly Jo, who hates horses, actually really likes Fiona. It will be fun to see them grow together.

Ruby has also really taken to her too. Which is good because I plan on having her come on trail rides and just tag along.

“THE GOAL IS TO BE AS LIGHT AS POSSIBLE, BUT AS FIRM AS NECESSARY.”

Natural horsemanship is good, but if you're never using more than featherlight pressure, you could be ruining your horse.

Nice long 10 mile solo ride on ruby yesterday! She did great riding away from the house. Was a little antsy once we hit the last bit of the road home but over all she did great! It was nice to get out and just ride, not really have a goal in mind.

Big day for khaleesi! Sat on her without any fuss, bent her head around both ways and I’ll ask her for movement tomorrow! Ponied her down the highway too. She didn’t care about traffic, mailboxes or the field of heifers chasing us!

26/08/2022

Sooooo bad wanted to throw a leg over today, but I’m home alone and shouldn’t be doing first rides without someone else around 😕 Khaleesi was so good today!

Getting used to noises and movement.

07/08/2022

Second time saddled and still no buck so far. She’s doing pretty well giving to pressure and is less reactive to sounds and movement. Might be riding her before too long!

“I love Ruby” he says.

“She’s bucking, rearing over backwards, you can’t saddle her” they say.

I guess we were just meant to be her people.
