🌟 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵! 🌟 Did you know that the history of the cowgirl is deeply intertwined with the rich heritage of the horse industry? From the wild west to modern-day equestrian sports, women have played pivotal roles as riders, trainers, breeders, and more.

NSBA and the NSBA Foundation are no strangers to the impact that women have made on our community. This month we'll be highlighting both past and present nominees and recipients of the Dianne Eppers Cowgirls ROC Award and their contributions to our industry!

Let’s talk about horsemanship…

Specifically, the transition from the extended lope to the slow lope.

As a judge and a trainer of youth and amateur riders, I explain here what I want to see out of that specific maneuver.

There is a definite way to get the big scores on that maneuver.

02/23/2024

Don't forget while making your plans...

𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳: A green-eligible horse is any horse that has not earned more than 25 points in its respective class (i.e. Western Pleasure, Hunter Under Saddle etc.) in any NSBA Recognized Equine Association, (REA), or more than $2,500 in earnings in its respective class as of 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟯𝟭, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯.

The Showmanship Set Up First things first…. You need to teach your horse to move front to back. I prefer the right hind to stay put and move the horse front to back around that foot. Give your horse a process to follow. Horses love process and order (routine) #horseshowing #horsetrainer #horses #aqhaproud #trainingtips #contentcreator #equine #horseindustry #equestrian #western Horses, horse trainer, horse training, equestrian, horse showing, quarter horses, showmanship

Some words to live by… This can apply to many classes and many aspects of life! Have the willpower to hold true to what you’re asking for. #horseshowing #horsetrainer #horses #aqhaproud #trainingtips #contentcreator #equine #horseindustry #equestrian #western Horses, horse trainer, horse training, equestrian, horse showing, quarter horses

Storytelling. The pattern classes, are designed to let you tell me your story. As a judge, I want you to ‘wow’ me with your story. For me, your F&E score can increase with how well you tell your story. From the first cone to the end… keep telling that story. Even if there’s a mishap… Don’t quit. Make the ending a good one! #horseshowing #horsetrainer #horses #aqhaproud #trainingtips #contentcreator #equine #horseindustry #equestrian #western Horses, horse trainer, horse training, equestrian, horse showing, quarter horses

Progress. Making progress is what’s important… Don’t rush the process. You don’t want to skip steps that are building the foundation for your horses success. #horseshowing #horsetrainer #horses #aqhaproud #trainingtips #contentcreator #equine #horseindustry #equestrian #western #horsecare Horses, horse trainer, horse training, equestrian, horse showing, quarter horses

What is your pet peeve as a horse trainer?! Pierre gets CANDID with us 😉 Biggest thing: practice how you show. #horsetrainer #horsetraining #trainingtips #westernpleasure #hunterundersaddle #aqha #aqhaproud #horses #horseshow #equestrian #champion #horsebackriding #showmanship #horsemanship

The turn around… keep it steady AND accurate. the haunches need to remain planted or be the base of the maneuver. Move the shoulder and front end around the haunches. Speed isn’t important UNTIL you MASTER 👇🏼 STEADY and ACCURATE. Find a comfortable pace and position and maintain it. #horsetrainer #horsetraining #trainingtips #aqha #aqhaproud #horses #horseshow #equestrian #champion #horsebackriding #horsemanship #cowgirl #cowboy

Nicole + I thoroughly enjoy having horses in our life. They are our partners. We feel so lucky to have these incredible animals in our lives on a daily basis. It’s crucial to let them know the important part they play in our lives. #horsetrainer #horsetraining #trainingtips #westernpleasure #hunterundersaddle #aqha #aqhaproud #horses #horseshow #equestrian #horselover

What is it like to work with your spouse?! …the TRUTH about working together. Of course it can be frustrating… but, in the end, it is incredible what we can accomplish together! #horsetraining #horsetrainer #husbandandwife #team #teamwork #aqha #horses #horseshowseason #truth #love

What’s your favorite class to show?!

Why I became a judge… #horseshowjudge #aqha #horsetraining #horsetrainer #horses #horseshow #why #perspective

Horsemanship Hand Position there needs to be a direct line to the horses mouth. that allows the horse to remain forward and not be tight and ‘backed off’ during this maneuver to plus this maneuver, forward is important. As is keeping the hind end in place. #horsetraining #horsetrainer #horsetrainingtips #horsemanship #western #education #horseshow #equestrian #horses

I’ve been so fortunate to have so many wonderful horses in my life… here are two that I feel have made an impact in the quarter horse industry for one reason or another. who are your all time favorites? #horsetrainer #horses #horsetraining #aqha #aqhaproud #worldchampion #goodhorses #westernpleasure #favorite #explorepage

From the middle of the arena, this is my pet peeve. Keep the connection! Ride your horse. #horsesofinstagram #horseshow #horseshowjudge #equestrian #aqhaproud #petpeeves #horses #quarterhorse #horsebackriding

Let’s talk about Horsemanship… Specifically, the transition from an extended lope to a slow lope. All horses are different. They all have different styles. And all of those styles can be successful. The number one thing I look for as a judge is: Control. #horsetraining #horseriding #horsemanship #control #horses #horseshow #horseshowjudge #aqhajudge #trainingtips #judgesopinion #equestrian #aqha #aqhaproud
