Are you teaching your horse to be scared of your tools…..? It’s very common to see a lot of horses that come to me as their last hope, that are truly just terrified. Teach your horses to move off of pressure because you ask them to, not because they are scared.
**this sweet boy did not come because it was his last hope, it’s just an example**
I know I haven’t posted on here in a while! But I have a good reason!
I’ve taken a step back from training (besides a couple clients) to focus on my girls! Groovy has been on the back burner all summer so we’re knocking some dust off for this winter!
This is your reminder that it’s okay to take a break. They’ll be there when your ready🩷
Groovy💞 getting back to what she loves
Last night, Sissy saw a ghost… but that’s part of it. Barrel racing is so humbling especially when all you have is colts and it’s their first year on the road.
(Yes she is going to get vet checked)
I thought this was the perfect opportunity to explain something that I think is missing in the rodeo community.
Pet your horse.
They don’t know what they did wrong, they don’t know how much moneys on the line. Go run and pet your horse.

I see so many riders yanking and pulling on their horses after they don’t meet their expectations. Thats awful horsemanship and you’ve already caused more problems than to begin with. Taking it out on your horse does nothing but tear their confidence apart.
After this run, I simply walked her down. Unsaddled her and gave her water. Just like every other run.
Good or bad run….. take responsibility for your horses actions,understand that things happen, and their will be another race.
Theirs a right time and place for schooling your horses. There is no right place or time to rip your horses face off because they aren’t doing exactly what you want.
Nobody thinks you’re cool for beating on your horses and taking it all out on them.
Yes this was a little embarrassing, but it dosent matter what people think about my training. I know my horses and I know she was confused but we have to keep moving forward.
Thank you for reading my Ted Talk🫶🏻😊
My girl worked hard for me this weekend❤️
To run one you patterned and trained yourself is a different kind of satisfaction! We may have hit the 2nd but that’s just part of it!
Thank you Siss for always taking care of me❤️
Titan is only in his first two weeks of training and he is really starting to get it! He has so much confidence and has a bright future ahead of him. I haven’t really fallen in love with a gelding but this one is starting to grow on me💙
Well today was Willa’s last day!🥲 We’re gonna miss her but I am so excited to watch her grow and build a future with her owner❤️ Willa was a very calm and good minded filly. She worked hard for me and always had a very kind attitude. She loved to play and get into anything she can find🤣. She’s definitely one of a kind and I’m very happy with her!
It is almost time for this little girl to go home🥲
This 2yr old has been such a smart one! She’s always wanting to learn and try her best💖
She has been in my program for nearly 60 days and has exceeded our expectations. She has a very bright future ahead of her so y’all better watch out😉
You know how when kids are little they get a little scratch or a bruise and immediately think they need a bandaid…. Groovy is that child!! Except the “bandaid” is actually a vet poking her leg and said she looks fine she’s just a little dramatic

This 2yr old has been so much fun!! She’s a dream💞
This 2yr old is a dream💞
