A video from a few weeks back, but he still loves to play with his Jolly ball. A much better use of his time, than eating his blankets! #babyhorse #beauxrevesequestrian #younghorsetraining #dressage #busybees #horses #horse #babydino #playful #playtime #dressagetrainer
Second rider up and ready, our clinic is in full swing. Thanks @feneuco for coming out today.

Love watching how the horses react and “sway” quietly side to side with the @surefootequine pads. This horse just a few short weeks ago had trouble balancing on just one pad behind. Now he feels confident to stand on both.

The “backing” process with Weston continues. This week we did:
- mounting work from the left- thanks to a little chiropractic work from Dr. Foltman Weston is feeling his extra best.
Weston receives chiropractic work every 3 months since he was 2 years old. Horses do some silly things in the field while they are playing and growing. This helps keep him comfortable and growing correctly, allowing him to be ready for work.
- a different band configuration- this band setting helps Weston be aware of his chest and that he needs to keep it lifted (what little chest/shoulders he currently has 🤣🤣). As mentioned before Weston has been working comfortably in bands for several months.
- we back him up a few steps before asking him to walk forward. This allows him to feel comfortable with the weight of a rider, get that baby hind end underneath of himself and be more stable me as he walks off.
- today we also decided with the 55mph winds and loud noises from the doors /trees banging on the arena to not swing a leg over.
Slow and steady wins the race. We look forward to next week with Weston.

Swinging a leg over #westfalen #pony Weston by stallion Golden West.
We chose to-
1. Mount from the right today because he seemed more confident on this side today. (He has done mounting block work on both sides).
2. To NOT use a bridle. He is having a lot of growth and dental changes as most young horses do at this age. He has worked most of his life in a rope halter.
3. Use a butt strap- he has worked confidently for months lunging using a butt strap to help him become aware of hind end, and keep his pelvis underneath of himself. This helps him feel more confident with the new idea of a rider.

#horsebackriding should not be just about riding the horse, it’s #horsemanship from the ground up!
This young rider is learning to lunge.

This rider does a beautiful job of showing “balance in Motion”.
This balance exercise helps riders “feel” and keep a soft elastic connection with their hands.
Would you believe this was her first time doing this exercise? We have spent many months working on balance and it has paid off.
