This week has been a spa and pampering kind of week for this big ol ranch horse ... lol. I think he’s starting to like it tho. Who doesn’t love a good deep tissue massage, especially when you’re starting to workout again... #breezehorsemanship #magnawave
A few weeks ago my dad went to a lay-down clinic with his horse Howard, I’d asked him when he got to Arizona this weekend would he help teach Frosty...
Frosty was so calm around a new person and listened to him very well. He even was in the larger arena, so she could have left at any moment. He wanted to try it without any ropes or tying her leg up, and just worked on pressure and release... in a 2hr period he got her to lay down twice! Great patience and cues from my dad and awesome try and willingness from Frosty! 💗🦄
This is what Layla thinks of my shenanigans 😂 #chewtoy
Morning scratches are the best
We are making progress!! Added some weight and “weight shifters” to help her get ready for a person. She handled it like a champ. 😎🦄
Frosty wearing my big heavy saddle now, back cinch and tarp! Worked on dragging stuff behind her as well... this girl is solid! So much try 😎
🦄💝🦄💝🦄💝
How does your yearling react to ‘scary’ things!? 💙 #breezehorsemanship
Yeehaw 😎 Weekend Zoomies !
(watch the black one at the end)
Frosty’s session today: first time with a bit, 4th time with a saddle. Pretty amazing lil girl!
Unhandled and unhealthy in December to sweet, loving and almost broke by March lol. 😎
Back home after 2 weeks of horse shows... Haven’t done anything with this girl for over that due to a busy schedule. She had her 2nd trim today, stood like a champ. Better than the older horses lol!
On our way back to the turnout i decided to see what she thought of the trailer, she hadn’t been in one or near one since she was dropped off in December (unhandled)...
She’s such a good girl. No hesitation. No question. And even backed out. We did this twice and both were the same. 💕💕
Frosty enjoying a scratch 😊
Lil recap of Frosty’s session today! Ending with working on the mounting block... teaching her to side pass to me, instead of wanting to face me. Such a smart lil thing she is, literally took me less than 5 minutes to get her to do it.
Day 10:
lil Frosty had a busy day today!
Lunging is going well, (hard to lunge with one hand and video) lol. She’s learning to go in both directions, and not pull away in the big arena.
1st tying lesson today went well. A few pull backs when horses riding by got too close, but she gave to the pressure well and after about 2 pull backs, she stopped.
We also had a pony session, where my arms were getting too tired of pulling her, so i came up with a new solution.... (video). The cable tie worked great and she stopped pulling. Not much can pull Pistol over 😉
And finally we were able to have a full body bath! Finally was able to wash that tail!!! (Not perfect but a lot better than what it was)!
