Its 2025 - Happy New year friends!!
I am always humbled by how many people reach out & ask if I would offer any lessons again after taking over a year off focussing on my own my kiddos, their rodeo horses & my own horsemanship. Thank you, Thank YOU for allowing me to be a small part of your journey. But ultimately give yourself allot of credit for being humble enough to ask for help & all the hard work YOU have put in.

I have always believed that Horsemanship is not just a skill learned but also a way of life. I don't know all the answers in life or with horses but I enjoy sharing with friends what I do know and gathered over the years. It usually consist of what not to do & to not over think it. I love sharing practical, not complicated tools for you to enjoy your horse & your horse to enjoy you. I love offering a place where people can feel safe to share their struggles without judgment. We all mess up with our horses & its okay because mistakes are a normal part of the learning process. We need to be open to mistakes and not let fear hold us back.

Key topics for this group might include shoulder control, leg yielding, counter bending, give/take rein management and backing up, all aimed at achieving a balanced and responsive horse through rider aids. All levels are welcome but I would prefer you bring a horse that you feel confident riding because this is just a 1 Day clinic. You will get more out of this clinic on a horse thats ready to go to work!

Treva (Beard Arena) is your host. Please make sure to reach out to her to secure your spot for this day. All payments can be done through her. You can reach her on the cellphone number provided on the flyer via TEXT or on the Beard Arena page.

C**t starting: Q & A - 2025

Will you be doing C**T STARTING lessons this year?
✔️Yes, as soon as the weather changes and I have the rodeo schedule on my calendar I will have small group c**t starting dates.

Clinic set up:
Day 1 ground work,
Day 2 saddle & preparation,
Day 3 - 1st ride (round pen),
Day 4 - 2nd ride (round pen),
Day 5 - 3 ride (arena). I cant take more than 4 riders.

Or

Day 1 - Groundwork
Day 2 - saddle & preparation
Day 3 - 1st Ride

Here are some requirements prior for c**t starting in group setting. If you dont meet these requirements then i suggest a one on one lesson because chances are I will be getting on your young one 1st!

1. You have to have an good INDEPENDENT SEAT on your horse & comfortable at a lope.

🧐 WHAT IS AN INDEPENDENT SEAT?
A independent seat happens when a rider can move one part of their body independently of other parts of their body and independently of the horses movements, while maintaining balance. The rider is moving with the horse but still maintaining a level of independence so if the horse stumbles, spook or transitions gait the balance is maintained. There is a level of softness to the contact and aids, with no added pressure. The independent seat is not legs jammed down into the stirrups with your ankles locked and knees firmly in contact, it is legs that are relaxed that naturally sit lightly in the stirrup and hug but don't grip the horse...it is not a rigid, inflexible posture, it is balanced and fluid in movement while at the same time lacking unnecessary movement. The independent seat is not hanging onto the reins! (Hope that makes sense)

2. Basic Ground Manners
That includes being comfortable with being caught, tied, handled around the feet, accepting a halter and lead rope, responding to basic commands like backing up and yielding to pressure. If your c**t does not have basic ground manners or you dont know how to establish that I recommend you coming to a ground work clinic 1st. I offer ground work lessons but there are also many other great resources out there to learn from. (Q & A for Ground work lessons coming soon)

3. Healthy and sound
Check for any physical limitations or soundness issues. That also includes up to date on farrier & dental care

4. Bring 1 broke horse that you feel comfortable with. These are long days for your c**t so you might not spend all day working with him/her. If he does really well we will stop on a good note. Will treat each young horse as a individual. You will be required to bring a broke horse to work on more advanced maneuvers for when you give your young one a break. I strongly believe that the more you learn about what you want as a end product for whatever dicipline you are aiming for the more it changes on how you start them. I will be working our young ones to since we have quite a few so you will see the pretty and the growing pains!!!

I already started a list of riders who have asked about these so if you have reached out to me I will most than likely contact you privately to discuss some dates. If you are unsure if you are on that list pm so I can write all your details down and get these those dates scheduled.

Cant wait for Spring. Its going to be a busy one....♥️

These boys became best friends!!! I cant wait to see how they shed out this spring when winter is over!!! Both their sires are in the TOP 10 of Barrel racing sires last time I checked. I use to have majority fillies but here I am with with a pen full of boys.

They should have speed and ability to power through turns. We are so excited to start them. Both of them have such good dispositions. They are so smart, lots of try & just so easy to work with!!

The sires of these c**ts and their offspring speaks for themselves. THEY ARE OUTSTANDING but Id like to share the dam's success to!!!
