“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man,”
The famous quote, often attributed to Winston Churchill but debated of being quoted early.
Meaning:
The quote suggests that spending time with horses, whether riding them or just being around them, can have a positive effect on a person’s well-being and mental state.
What do you think? … I feel like this is so true but is that just my inner “horse girl” talking 🤓
Look how sharp these boys shed out last year… these warmer days have us excited to get updated pictures and videos of our prospects!
Right now they are long haired and muddy 😩 PATIENCE if hard to wait on weather!
A bit on ToRoy Golden McClintock our oldest Morgan stallion here who is a palomino color.
Colors In Horses… featuring Edgefield Trailblazer aka Buddy today!
So excited to have this little girl home…
We plan to hit the trails ground driving and pulling who knows what. We are not setup to drive her but she’ll be offered to a driving home or possibly return for more advanced driving work after winter.
But seriously, how cute and fun is this Morgan pony!

What a great update to show some of his training!
Noble-T Sealskin

Well started in reining and on cows over the past 2 years. He is offered and looking for a home who wants to keep his ability moving forward.

Noble-T Sealskin
Registered smoky black stallion
Starting to wear a bridle and looking great. This well trained and versatile bred boy is also on the market to a correct home. Options intact, included current frozen stock in addition or as a gelding.
This boy is tall…
Nesster AE as a long yearling!
Such a smart boy coming in for a little groom and refreshers today, despite the rain and mud. We try to rotate bringing our young in to keep fresh on areas they need to practice even in the winter.
This boy and his pasture mate, Fly were great students and got some extra treats before heading back out today. Our next steps will be to introduce more front and hind cues and introduce some basics to start lunging in 2025.
If you are looking for a great Dressage or Sport prospect, please reach out as we have 4 with several 2025 planned goals. Most of our Andalusians are proven in Dressage themselves and many of past goals to compare to for expectations. @aestheticequinellc
After the show we got a bit busy to really share more on Skinners progress… but I found a little time now so here it is with some video showing a change, stop and some turns.
Early December Noble-T Sealskin attended the North Central Reined Cow Association show that was moved from Winona, MN to Cannanon Falls, MN. This is a show that draws riders and horses from various states and of high quality. “Skinner” had only traveled to a show 1 times before this and did well with the environment… so we opted to go since he is still in a snaffle and could show in a Ranchers series.
The show ran Monday through Sunday with tight quarters behind the scenes. He stalled well and handled the people, horses, dogs and all the other commotion that happens at a show (doors, carts, speakers, etc). He entered 2 classes and those were his first solo entries in a pen.
Night 1 he had nice circles but was slower on his changes and his trainer did an incorrect order of circles so he was not placed as he got a 0 score on dry work but did get a 69 cow with a slower start to really connect to the boxing end of the ring.
Morning 2 he pulled it together a bit quicker. He did a few calls being in the ring solo but after the first maneuvers connected up well with Riley (his trainer). He did his patter correct and moved his cow a bit better getting him 2 70’s. This was great to see and fun to review his marks on the card. Obviously going against traditional breeds, his style is a bit different and he is simply green so we were very proud of his runs both nights.
So excited to be a part of brining Morgans into the working sports! This boy also can head out on the farm to gather cows, check fences and more. Thankful for a great trainer to lay his foundation and accept his type difference and still work toward highest expectations!
