There’s a difference between being a RIDER and being a TRAINER. Many keyboard warriors complain that we don’t have enough trainers in this country but…we’re here! There’s many riders out there claiming to be trainers…how do we know who they are? 🤔🤔🤔.This horse was built to Grand Prix from a 4 year old. And with the help of our sponsors:

You show up for them, always. Make sure their nutrition is just as reliable.

Every New Year and Fourth of July there’s a barrage of people on the internet shaming others for shooting fireworks, calling police on those doing so, and even talking of banning fireworks because it scares horses. Each time it baffles me what lengths people will go to to not spook their horses: locking them in the barn, closing the windows, putting noise cancelling objects in and on their ears or turning the radio up really loud.

What most tend to forget is what horse’s are capable of. Horses were the ones pulling the cannons, running head strong into lines of soldiers, gunfire, explosions, etc. They went wherever their riders took them. HORSES FOUGHT IN WARS.

At our facility, we leave them outside. Then we light a bonfire and shoot commercial grade fireworks on the property. None of them run, none of them scream, and none of them has ever hurt themselves… and these are your typical “overly sensitive dressage horses”. We don’t treat them like fragile objects and by doing so, they are not fragile objects.

Many may say, “My horse is ultra sensitive” or “My horse is young” or “I’d rather not take the chance”…all the more reason to stop trying to shield them from everything you think might scare them. And stop trying to control what other people do because of it. Train your horses. Season them and teach them to trust you when things get crazy. Remember these pictures and remind yourselves of how strong and resilient these creatures have been and can be.

Horses that lack discipline in the barn, lack discipline in the ring.
Horses that lack discipline on the lunge, lack discipline under the saddle.
It all starts from the ground.

Bet y’all didn’t know a Friesian could move like that! 😜 She ain’t dead yet. Although so many shoppers thought she was at 15…or that she wouldn’t be sound in a year. People! Dressage horses don’t reach their peak until their teens! Quit turning down good horses because you think they’re too old. Triple Crown Feed Stübben NA Antarès Sellier Katie Hebert

"I believe horses and humans have a connection that draws us to each other. I believe in their own way they know we need them and they are pleased to be our partner whether it be in work or sport. We need to remember to never take this privilege of working and living with horses for granted. To never lose our appreciation for what they have given us throughout the history of time and to be sure that their relevance in our society does not fade away. This is our greatest responsibility as equestrians." - McLain Ward
