🌟Indy🌟

15 y/o TB Mare

If you are looking for your next trail mount, want to do the occasional play day, or do some fun shows this is your girl! Indy is an absolute pleasure to be around and is very eager to please her rider. Indy is very calm and a bit shy but once she warms up she is nothing but sweet. Stands for farrier, loads, she is an easy keeper and baths are not a problem! Indy does have a bit more go, but does have nice collection and a good stop. She does prefer a Hackamore or Bosal, but works great in a snaffle as well. Indy does require an intermediate rider due to a small vice and has very little maintenance that I will discuss with serious buyers!

💫Really Incredible💫

Aka “Sam” 6 yo OT Standardbred gelding

If your looking for a gentle giant look no further! Sam is a complete tank all the way around and would be a tough, dependable horse for just about anyone! He has a puppy dog personality, doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and wants to please every time you throw your leg over! Sam is green broke, not a lot of buttons, with just over 30 days of riding. Sam is definitely on the slower side and likes to have relaxing rides!He’s been up and down the road, on trail rides, on the bike trail, around the farm and just out and about to see the sights and has handled everything phenomenally! He would be best suited as a trail horse but he is a clean slate with lots of potential! He is completely sound and ready to head down the trail or whichever direction you choose! Pm me for more info!

Spring is right around the corner which means we’ve been busy in the barn! Time to leg those horses up!

Enjoy the ride.

Sometimes we win. More often, we don’t win.

That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the process and the progress.

Embrace the failures as lessons. Use the lessons to grow. Be better tomorrow than you were today.

Make new friends, visit with old ones, support one another, and be grateful you are barrel racing.

One of my favorite workouts for my horses is this simple one. I learned it from a great vet along time ago. This helps to build and strengthen their backs and pulls their belly up.

Simple and cheap. 2 polos Velcroed together, run down through an O-Ring snaffle, between the legs and up around the wither to tie. The object is to not have the nose behind the vertical line. You want your horse to drive and lift themselves. If they are to far behind the vertical your not lifting or engaging their hind end, your only pulling their heads down.
*Important to note the speed. A medium trot is best. Not to slow and not to fast. How they stretch and move their bodies at a brisk trot is what pulls their belly up and stretches and strengthens their backs.*

This exercise is also how I start all my horses out when they start getting in shape for the season. This black beauty is my 22 year old semi retired rodeo horse. She is getting herself in shape because momma (me) wants to run barrels again and all the other options are babies. She knew I was ready because she was standing at the gate waiting for me, which is very unlike her!

I am here to help you with your horses. Message me and let’s see what we need to do.

A little birthday present one of my lesson students brought me last week!

05/17/2022

Saturday marked 2 years of having PT Cruz in the Family. This horse has been such a blessing. I always wanted to buy a finished horse but as we most all know it isn’t cheap… I’ve always had horses that I’ve broke myself or they’ve all needed work, thankfully I’ve had amazing people to help me! But that being said I wanted to have a horse or his level but I could never afford it. In 2020 I decided to treat myself for all of my hard work and with the help of my parents I was able to take a small loan out (and yes it’s paid off😂) and I picked Cruz up a day later! At first it wasn’t easy, I’d never ridden a horse like him before and we were not very good at the beginning lol…. but with practice and getting used to each other we finally clicked and this past year we finally had each other figured out and he took me all the way to the IBRA National Finals and even placed in the top 10 in our division and brought home 3 checks out of about 600 tough competitors! This horse has made so many dreams come true for me and I will forever be grateful for him!

It is a VERY special boys Birthday today! Cowboy is turning 15 today! I’m so thankful that this amazing horse has been with me for 13 years now! He has taught me so much and still is teaching me and so many others to this day! I can’t wait for another 13 years and counting with this boy! He sure was a diamond in the rough and will forever be my heart horse!❤️ Happy Birthday Big Tyme Cowboy🎂

Abbie has been helping me ride horses this week and we’ve been working with thunder on collection and engaging his hind end to build muscle! He is such a pretty mover! He will be available soon stay tuned for more to come with Thunder!🌟

Val went to his forever home yesterday! He is going to be giving lessons to about 200 kids throughout the year! Can’t wait to see him teach the next generation of horsemen!❤️

🌟It was a beautiful day today! Got all 6 of the boys brushed as best I could (we will see how long that lasts) and all rode today. They all did great as always🌟

It’s a vary rare occasion to see Cruz’s quirky side so I figured I’d share with everyone!😂

✨Hvk Presence aka “Val” ✨
2003 Morgan gelding
Val is super laid back and a very flashy mover. He was trained as a higher level dressage horse but has had some time off due to his owners no longer being able to ride. He would be a great lesson horse for a show/dressage barn, would be great for a level 1 or 2 dressage rider or even a trail horse. All he would need is some riding and possibly a slight refresher and he will be a great horse for anyone.

I have a friend that is 84 and is moving so he is looking into rehoming his 3 horses. They are all around 18 years old, all are registered. They all need a light refresher but all have been very well trained and were showed and did great. They would be great lesson, trail horses or great for someone that is new to showing to build there confidence!
