Peaches got out on her first trail ride today. She handled it like a pro. Charging dogs, cows, bags, etc. no drama. She’s gonna be amazing!

Poppy didn’t get a video tonight because it was dark, but she did great on her arena ride, working on trotting. She’s so laid back and easy going!

Who needs training videos when you can just watch this slow motion ripple effect after riding 🤣 don’t worry she’s working on building her ripples into muscles!

05/23/2021

Steering is overrated, who needs steering 🥴🤷‍♀️, but seriously how cool is this guy! Can’t wait to get him steering as well as his buddy who is the one influencing his side stepping towards her. They are definitely great buddies! For this being his fourth ride ever though he is doing fantastic!

04/09/2021

Working on some fine tuning and walking in a straight line. She’s going to be so much fun!

04/07/2021

You know it was a good ride when there’s so much sweat it turns into a lather!

04/05/2021

Ended our session with some ground driving on the road. She didn’t even mind the big dump truck that passed us. Such a good pony! Makes my life easy!

04/05/2021

And finally hooking up to the cart! She did fantastic!

04/05/2021

Millies first intro to the cart today.

Ben is not real thrilled with Rocket training, but it is sooo good for him. He’s a bit spooky right now with me up on him amd anytime I move so we are doing some major desensitizing. Eventually Rocket will be all the way up, but for now I don’t want him to fully commit. Working on different positioning and cues with Rocket so we can do some team training more effectively and build rockets focus. One cue I focused on today is to follow. So when the horse moves away Rocket follows until the horse stops, then he is supposed to sit. This is a pressure and release where the horse gets rewarded by Rocket sitting and taking away pressure only when the horse stops moving and reacting. If we take away pressure when the horse reacts then we are rewarding and encouraging that behavior which is not what we want. Eventually the horse learns that if he thinks through things rather than reacts it is much easier and the pressure goes away faster and they are rewarded.

After some desensitizing with Rocket, Millie gets her first official ride!

03/22/2021

Disclaimer, no animals were hurt or distressed during this video.
Millie is one of the best ponies around! As obnoxious as this session was for her to have to put up with Rocket jumping on her it taught her a lot. One- desensitizing! She is going to be a kid’s pony amd therefore it is so important for her to have a solid mind with things on her and off. Two- when Rocket aka kids eventually fall off, most horses freak out and react by bolting or jumping amd sometimes kicking out etc. this cannot happen when kids are involved. We are teaching Millie to remain calm and stop when Rocket falls off. Three- she is learning to move and be confident even with things moving around on her back that feel funny and even throw her balance off because kids will do the very same.

Our newest addition! Meet Ben, (short for Ben and Jerry’s because that’s the diet he looks like he’s had 🤣) the Halflinger. He knows how to drive and ride, just gotta do a quick tune up and get in shape for this summer!
