new bins & buckets + new vinyl = new organization!

Labeling everything makes a lot of things a whole lot easier within our very busy lesson program so my Cricut is certainly my best friend! As our stuff seems to constantly multiply, having a place for everything is how I maintain (or at least attempt to 😜) my sanity.

Buckets from K&D Equestrian of course!

Last day to register for the 13+ camp! Open to intermediate and advanced riders also ✨

Have a kiddo who is 13 or older that’s interested in horses? Have an intermediate to advanced student that would like to make new horsey friends?

We have spots available for our 13+ age group camp and would like to open it up to other riders that may not be 13 quite yet but have experience with horses! We have horses for all ability levels to be included and challenged.

Plus, we have a great time with various equine topic lessons and crafts!!

If you have a kiddo that would like to attend, shoot us a message!!

Good read!!

How to turn a bad ride into a good one

The very first thing you need to do is check your seat!!
Make sure you…
1.) tuck your pelvis underneath of you and are not pushed forward into anterior pelvic tilt. Fear and anxiety tend to push us toward fetal position, so sit back on your b***y and stretch those legs down.
2.) Every time you change directions scooch your entire b***y towards the inside so that your inside hip knee and heel are about 2 inches lower than the outside (especially going to the right!)
So often problem start because the human has led to the outside and they don’t notice What they do notice is the horse ignoring the aids, and hanging on the inside rein.
3.) Fix your hands. Make sure your rein length is set so that you can give aids easily without doing weird things with your arms or wrists, but also so that you still have enough bend in your elbow that you can offer your hand forward. Make sure you and your horses are not hanging on each other. I’m not telling you to be all light and soft, because sometimes you need a strong rein aid (I have no problems, telling a student to pull their horses lips back to their ears if that horse is completely blowing through the aids!) but you NEED TO RELEASE!!!!!!

To be clear, never, never, never ever yank. Even a small tug on a rein is always completely unacceptable. But once you have connection, if you NEED to pull back HARD, go ahead, BUT THEN RELEASE!! 

So often riders pick fights with horses, because they just keep pulling until the horse does the thing , but the horse can’t do the thing because the Rider is pulling. On the flip, some riders refuse to ever be effective, so they use light aids, but they end up nagging and desensitizing their horse, which overtime causes the horse to require stronger and stronger rein aids. 

Pic of one of my young students being able to release the rein shortly after this horse pretty much drug her down the long side.  She downright wrestled him, and then softened! She was able to ride on like it never happened, even though he was spooking at the lawn mower LITERALLY the whole ride.

We pause this morning in prayer to honor those who paid the ultimate price for our country. Thank you Lord for the men and women who gave their lives for us and for our freedoms. I pray peace and comfort over their loved ones who are hurting today. We will honor them by living graciously and enjoying the freedoms their sacrifices have paid for ❤️🤍💙
