I have spots open for training!
Starting under saddle, trail work or conditioning for your spring endurance rides!
Specializing in Arabians and hot horses.

Time to spoil the ponies!
Lori’s work has made a huge difference in bringing Missy back into shape. Each session has unlocked different layers and allowed Missy to be more and more comfortable in her body and in work.
This is Woody’s second session and he too has new layers to unfold! It will be interesting to see how he has changed with this session.

Baby Moose went to her second clinic. This time with Mary Von Zimmerman.
She is doing quite well for a horse that maybe had 3 weeks in regular work.

To my knowledge Woody hasn’t jumped more than logs on the trail
Safe to say he jumps now! 😅

Changing the layout of the poles.
Moose had a raised pole that she trotted over and navigated the “M” trot poles. That took her only a couple tries to figure it out.
While Missy got two tiny jumps in a bounce.

It is nice to run through the exercise you set up for the baby horse with the experienced horse first. The exercise is still challenging to the experienced horse.

I shouldn’t be surprised that when I started asking more difficult questions around figure 8s with the pole that Moose upped her game to match. Even so much as a pretty big angle to trot over it.
She is just like Diesel

Moose says things are getting serious over here. We’ve had a canter both directions and trotted over a pole
She would like to add that she doesn’t agree that we should keep moving after the pole. Obviously trotting over a pole requires a cookie immediately afterwards

Shortened my stirrups and we really worked on starting to rock back on our haunches and lift our front end.
Red mares get extra cookies
And my abs are sore 😂

Riding Journey will have an immediate opening for full training. Starting under saddle, winter conditioning or rehab work for better soundness.

For the first time I have really felt that Missy is finally able to start lifting her back and use herself more biomechanically correct. It is a long slow road to get here but well worth it.
