Tis the season… For abscesses…. I had to break it to Luci tonight that he, in fact, could not help me help him and that I just needed him to stand there with his mouth not on me.

Who would be interested in a summer barrel/horsemanship clinic with Brenda and Lynne Mays? No, I do not know dates. In summer it is impossible to have a “free” weekend from any other race/activity.

…when you have one SERIOUS pet peeve and it’s back cinches. Your back cinch is meant to TOUCH your horse. Shocker I know. But it can’t stabilize your saddle in all maneuvers if it can’t touch.

I’m forever that person mentioning this small fact on other trainers videos and no, IDGAF. It’s literally a matter of safety and function.

This is why I appreciate when I do have to raise board no one fusses. S**t never breaks when it’s 70 and sunny. And no, board is not getting raised lol.

Players… riders… competitors…

Who would be interested in bit education lessons? If we have enough we can make it an indoor session. If there are only a few we can work it into your regular lessons. Let me know!

There is a reason my lessons focus on being able to ride correctly.... you can't run around a pattern at full speed if you can't sit correctly, balanced, and feel your horse under you. I know it has lost me clients and I don't lose sleep over it. Correct before speed applies to more than just your horse. You are either helping your horse or hindering them; you are either training or untraining.

When your c**t has been a bit spicy and difficult in his youngness.... we have been hauling and tying and grudgingly going into the chaos to get him more exposed... and pastured with mares because, well, they don't let nonsense slide. You wait and you wait and you wait to find the perfect time to start doing time onlys....

We picked...
* A 25 degree morning
* Breakfast in the trailer and on the side of the trailer
* Tacked up in the dark (we have trailer lights on the side but it is still nothing like daylight)
* In the arena before 7 am to see the arena, he has never been in there
* 4 time onlys (alternating trot and lope) with others warming up
* Oh, and let's make those barrels CHRISTMAS TREES!

Did I throw all the things at him at once? Yes. Sometimes you do that to see just where you are at. He earned a gold star and handled it all without incident. With some hesitation and some reluctance going to the far end, he still did all the things that were asked.

And so for your viewing pleasure and entertainment.... Luci's first time only.

Get asked a lot in your ride, get an extra relaxing cool out.

Happy Thanksgiving all! I hope you enjoy the day with loved ones!

It started with 2 random draw tickets and a $1000 mare. 😍🥰😍🥰

Luci with his dam tonight out for a ride.

Rainy season has arrived and while it was a beautiful day today, we still hauled out to work in “New” places. Steele got to go on a field trip off the property, which I think he appreciated (lots of love and fancy cookies to be had with his friend Nickole), Luci had to work in an arena he’s struggled in in the past and Buttercup, in for training, got to continue his training work.

I want to let everyone in on a little secret. When you first start out in horses, you should have one goal. Learn to ride. Not learn to barrel race or do gaming or do Grand Prix jumping... you need to learn to ride. Before any discipline work is done, you need to have control at a walk, jog, trot, lope, hand gallop.... you need to know what haunch turns, side passing, rudimentary two-tracking, CORRECT AND CONSISTENT circles, correct stops, and backing are and actually be able to perform all of those things. LEARN TO RIDE FIRST. The mere ability to not fall off the top of a horse is NOT knowing how to ride.

I have had this conversation so many times over the past 18 months and people say they are committed to learning to ride first... but most aren't. They want to run, they want to prove people wrong, they want to, well, do what they want. Which is fine. But let's not be wasting both of our precious minutes in a day discussing how to achieve your goals if you aren't committed to learning to ride first.

The second big key to success? Get strong. Go to the gym. Go on Pinterest and find at home workouts. I can give you at home workouts that don't require equipment to get strong. You cannot ride your best and be weak at the same time. Don't shortchange your goals and success by being weak. There is also so much research that by being strong you will be so much healthier and happier in your old age.

So, fun recap. Commit to excellence by learning to truly ride first. Get strong.

“But those barrel racers just run the pattern all the time!”

Yup, just out here running our horses into the ground! 🤣

Given Rosa’s reaction today I think she would have rather run the pattern.

Thanks so much hubby for the great gift!

It’s National Dog Day! Let’s see some pics of your furry friends!!

Due to our County Fair next week there will be no lessons August 5-13.

Caveat - current lesson riders (regular lesson riders, ie more than 2x a month) needing a lesson before haul-in can message to be scheduled on Monday or Tuesday only.

Good luck to all in all projects!!

Luci and I are at “sleep away camp” this weekend. Considering he hasn’t been hauled away from home nearly as much as he should by this point, he is being a rock star. One more day of working with Brenda and Lynne Mays and then home to keep hustling and bringing new ideas for lessons! I’m so excited!

Sometimes in training outside horses…. Them walking quiet on a loose rein is cause for celebration. This big fella in is to learn to do this, relax, and get solid at a lope.

Snacks??

Luci was hoping for a snacky snack before his ride at Midnight Mountain Stables last week.

Yesterday I feel like I failed one of my riders. I always want to keep the littles (and the bigs) safe no matter what. Yes, logically, I know sh*t can happen. And that is exactly what happened. But first, let me tell you about M. About a year ago she took one lesson. She wasn't having it. It wasn't our time. Fast forward, I kept teasing her that barrels and poles are timed events and you have to go fast but she wanted everything a certain way. I can respect that. I go well I can help you learn the technique and the how and why so you can have it a certain way AND be faster. She agreed to give it another shot and we are about 8 lessons in I would guess. Yesterday we were working on adding speed in her barrel runs. Nothing drastic, we aren't kicking and whipping, just asking for a bit more. Her mare went down on the third and when she went to get up, M tried to abandon ship but her foot got caught in the stirrup. Her mare is very kind, very solid minded, but she has never had a kid hanging off the side of her and she took off trotting. After a very long 15-20 seconds and failed attempts to get her to stop, M was able to roll to her stomach and get her foot out. I don't know if she fully was able to roll or if it was just luck at that point her foot popped out. After some Hail Marys and Holy Sh*ts, we all got calmed down and eventually she got back on and walked and jogged a little. Today there was a race. I figured she would just put it off (honestly, I probably would, she got beat to crap pretty good). Mom thought she might go and trot the pattern. She went and got her best time ever. M went and cowgirled the hell up and you know what? She did it quietly. She wasn't out yelling to anyone who could hear in the warm up arena, she isn't blasting it on facebook (I am doing that for her), she just dug deep, got back on... and killed it. Great Job M. We are all so proud of you!!!
