I love this pony! Beans is the best. Thanks Alycia for being the perfect pony pilot!
Despite the rain and mud everyone had a great day at the CT at Rolling Hills Ranch. I want to extend a super special thank you to everyone there for being so accommodating and allowing us to tack up in the indoor to get out of the rain and for pulling all of our vehicles out of the mud! 🤣
Alycia and Mesa finished 5th in the Beginner Novice Division.
Rachel and Red had their best show jump yet and finished 3rd in the Starter division.
Cheyanne and Mesa finished 2nd in the Intro division with an awesome show jump round.
Kate and Beanboozled placed first in the intro division.
Arianna and Rusty placed 2nd in the elementary.
Kristin and RWS Sure Shot placed 2nd and put in a clean jump round in crossrails.
Ashley and Fire (his first time off property at a show!) did fantastic and placed 3rd in crossrails.
A small stab in the heart is what you feel when you put up the day's riding list and you see riders sinking heavily in their shoulders when reading which horse they are assigned for the lesson. A small stab in the heart for that horse that for an hour will carry around a rider who has already decided that he does not like his horse. A small stab in the heart for the horse that did not choose the rider himself but still does his best, lesson after lesson.
Riding is a privilege and something you have chosen to do. If you chose to ride at a riding school, your instructor assumes that you actually want to learn how to ride. The instructor's highest wish is that you get good at it.
Often there is a plan and a thought as to why you are assigned to that exact horse. Before you mount up next time, ask yourself "what can this horse teach me today?" All horses have something to give, a feeling or a new tool in the box.
The art is actually in being able to get a lazy horse to move forward, to get an uncertain horse to gain confidence, a naughty horse to focus or a tense horse to be released. It takes work. If you think a horse is boring, it's more likely that you don't ride the horse as well as you think! It's not easy to be confronted with your own shortcomings, but it is in that very situation that you get the chance to truly grow as a rider.
The excuse that "it's not my kind of horse" is actually a really bad excuse. A good rider can ride any kind of horse. A good rider has trained many hours on different types of horses to become a good rider. A good rider can find and manage the gold nuggets in every horse.
If we absolutely want to ride, it is our duty to strive to do it as best as possible, even if it's only for fun. We owe it to every horse that carries us upon it's back.

Keep an eye out for this extremely talented and sweet guy ->
Best Ketchum Natural is a 3 year old registered Appendix gelding out of a Four Sixes Ranch mare by Good Better Best, champion Hunter Under Saddle stallion.
He is green, but has an incredibly quiet, wonderful personality. This is a hard to find super fun kind of guy with impeccable breeding who can go in any direction.
Cheyanne Smith and Mesa getting it done with no stirrups at Flora Lea Farm LLC.
Fun fact, Cheyanne came in in second place this past winter in our barn-wide No Stirrup November Challenge. All that hard work paid off!
No stirrup, tight leg, looking ahead, loop in the reins...

Back in May we had the amazingly talented Grand Prix rider and USDF Gold medalist Sue Gallagher come to Rosewood Stables and give a dressage clinic. We had riders from beginner to intermediate join in on the fun. Many achievements were made and so many lessons learned to take these students on to the next level of their dressage journey. A big thanks to Sue Gallagher for her time and commitment to this wonderful sport of dressage and for sharing her expertise with us! #fyp #horse #dressage #dressagerider #dressageclinic @

Meet Velma! We have been super inconsistent with her between show season in full swing and the heat, and this is her 10th ride with one of our students, Cheyanne. She is going to be such a sweet and quiet girl 😍 #fyp #horsesofinstagram #horse #horsepower #horsetrainerlife #painthorse
Super fun pony mare available for on-site half or full lease. Come join our team! RWS Beanboozled is a fun mare who has miles through elementary and has schooled through Starter and Beginner Novice. She has a fun and easy trot and canter and would be perfect for a rider who is looking to get some miles out eventing this season!
Meet Hendrix! He was brought in to be started under saddle. With a few weeks under his belt he experienced his first trail ride and even “dipped his toes in the water”! #fyp #horse #trailride #swimming #horsesofinstagram #standardbred

This video is pretty boring, it’s also pretty important. I was just beginning my ride on Fire, it was time for pm feeding and horses were stirred up in the fields outside waiting to come in, some in the barn making it known they were ready to be turned out, strong wind and some rain making noise on the walls of the indoor arena, all together a lot of commotion going on. Instead of getting right to work, i just let Fire stand still and take it all in. Not in a way that he was frozen with fear but in a way that he could just stand and process what was happening around him. Allowing your horse to stand still, listen to and see what’s happening around them is something that I think is so important in the process of making a good partner. There is a time to get on and start working quickly, of course, but one of my biggest goals with any horse is to make them feel safe and comfortable in my presence and the presence of humans in general. Giving them time to think, observing how they are feeling and how they are processing information that day goes a long way in creating a willing equine partner. Horses are not robots and personally, I like to know how a 1000lb + animal is feeling before starting a ride. 🐎
Second show of the year in the books! Everyone had a fun and educational night!— Cheyenne and Mesa came out strong and finished with a blue clear round ribbon in the clear round Blue/Red class, a second, and a fourth. Natalia and Baby rocked around with a blue clear round ribbon and two thirds. Ashley and Mulela had two blue clear round ribbons, and a first place. Alycia piloted Rusty around for his first ever show and gave him a great experience. He was super off property and we were very happy with his can-do attitude. He got a blue clear round ribbon and a fifth. Talia ended the night with a clear round ribbon and two first place finishes. Can’t wait for the last jumper show in two weeks!
