Congratulations, Ava!!! So proud of our girl for completing her certification course with Josh Lyons/Lyons Legacy !
It's official, folks! At 12 years old, Ava just became the youngest Josh Lyons/Lyons Legacy Certified Trainer to date!
We can't thank Josh and his family enough for allowing Ava this amazing opportunity!! It has been an incredible experience, and Ava has gained so much confidence in the last 6 weeks. Josh is an incredible teacher who not only has a wealth of knowledge to share, but also a passion for sharing it. Ava loved every minute of learning, and we are excited to see what she decides to do with all of her newfound skills!
Success lies in relentless ex*****on of the Basics
~Leonardo da Vinci
My mom, a retired computer programmer of a big bank in Chicago, now quilter extraordinaire😉, taught me this; In quilting, of you don't get your *basic* initial measurements correct and clean accurate cuts made... in the end you're not going to have a quilt, you're going to have a "blob" 🤔
Same with a frame of a house, or the foundational training of a HORSE.
If your horse's basic, fundamental skill set is skewed, you're going to have a hard time building advanced maneuvers or asking them for the critical thinking required to perform at their highest level.
Long story short, it seems to me that high quality basics are more important than anything else, which is why the ancient Pyramids were built like this "🔼" and not this "🔽"....😉😄

Better late than never...we have been in Colorado for the last week and a half, because Ava got an amazing opportunity to train with Josh Lyons/Lyons Legacy for 6 weeks! She is learning to train an unbroke horse from the ground up, and also brought a broke horse to learn on. If you'd like to follow along with her horse training journey, you can check out her page here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558910133464&mibextid=ZbWKwL

Our first Josh Lyons/Lyons Legacy clinic is in the books! We had a fantastic long weekend of learning and comradery!
Josh was an amazing teacher - his passion for teaching people is very apparent, and we were all impressed with his ability to thoroughly explain every maneuver and technique used, and the reason why we were using it.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended and asked questions and participated in conversations and demos, and an even bigger thank you to Josh and his family for sharing their time, knowledge, and wisdom with us!
We are looking forward to the next one already!

3rd installment of our pony anatomy lessons:
Who's ready for round two of pony anatomy??🙋♀️😁
It's hard when you can't ride your pony, so we've got some exercises to get you by until you can get back out to the barn! (We may have had a little too much fun making this video for you, hope you enjoy 😊)
Enjoying their indoor turnout today, and taking full advantage of their opportunity to stretch and roll! :)
