Good feet, good horse. Butch needs a lot of hoof trimmed off before he heads home.
He gave me all four feet on the hoof jack today.

Butch Cassidy is doing really well. The issue is that I can’t find a good prop for my phone 🤭
Touching his girth a little here and rubbed him with the halter today. He’s scared of a milk jug and my back hurts. A lot of excuses running around in the wind!

Razz says, “WTH is going on with my body?!”
She is much closer than I thought!

Creating a safe space for horses can seem hard when you’re constantly pushing them out of their comfort zone. Focus on the good and let them work out their own issues. As we keep working, the blow ups will get smaller. I’m not going to ask him to keep his fear pent up. I want him to self regulate now so he’s not letting it out under saddle. #mustang #horsetraining #horsetrainingtips
Allowing your pony to “escape” from spooky situations can draw them back to you. It leaves room for trust, which is needed from both parties. #horsetraining #fyp #coltgentling

Zan is always looking for that stop. Peep the new round corral!
Daily Reminder:
Take a swim break every now and then!
Mr. Dipper is off to a new home♥️ He started his training yesterday to move his way into the hunter jumper world. I am very excited for him to strengthen and use his body in conjunction with his very skilled trainer!
Got on Zan for the first time! This little dude is the best. I definitely have not given him the time he deserves, but I know he’s ready for anything I throw at him!
Cow Patti’s first time with the halter on since I got her. Don’t take any shortcuts and you will be rewarded!
This gal went from rearing against poll pressure to leading like a stubborn pro.
Remembering that progress is not a straight line up. It takes time to earn trust and it takes patience to watch your progress when it is sporadic.
JJ needed some work in a smaller pen with the catch twine. Coming back to reality after some time off.
In our next session, we’ll do some work with a longer rope. Getting him used to it touching his legs and whole body.
