Tomorrow we will have a 4:30 group for anyone who wishes to attend. If it fills up, I have an opening at 600 and 630 as well.
Lessons for Tues-Thurs will not be taking place due to the amount of trail rides we do during the holiday break. So if you would like a lesson this week, tomorrow is the day!

7 year old OTTB
16-16.1 hh
Located at Griffin Cattle & Equine in Holliday, TX
Anyone looking for a fun project? We've had this guy in the barn for about 60 days and have spent the majority of that time getting weight on him and getting his feet healthy. He is a green 7 year old OTTB and is puppy dog gentle. I haven't taken a stick to him yet but would put him right at 16-16.1 hh. Definitely a kick ride and not at all sensitive or reactive to anything in our barn... and if you've been here you know how impressive that is. He is currently barefoot, stands tied as well as any cowboy broke quarter horse I've ever met, loads, and is perfectly behaved for the farrier. While he is certainly green, he is still a very uncomplicated ride and is incredibly willing to do anything that is asked of him.
Priced to sell at $2,5🥕🥕
Price will increase with training.
This video was taken about 3 weeks ago, the very first time I even sat on the guy. Im happy to get updated video this week for anyone who is interested.
Well done, Team!
We had a successful day at Equifest with a few of our lesson horses plus Princess and Cardi. I took 11 riders total and they came home with 9 firsts, 8 seconds, 9 thirds, 5 fourths, 4 fifths, and 1 sixth. Just about every rider won money and between all of them they won a few hundred dollars! It was a first horse show for every rider except for Nancy and Dakota and a great learning experience for all. Four of my riders have actually been in my program for less than three months and one just had her first jump lesson two weeks ago... and she pulled a second place in the crossrail division!
A huge thank you to Jared, owner of Griffin Cattle & Equine for all of the help and support. If you want a safe horse, I am telling you, this is the place to get it. Throughout the past six years I've sat on more of his horses than I can count and every last one of them has had a wonderful, correct start and has been puppy dog gentle.
I didn't get much video because I was super busy all day but I did try my best to include everyone. Parents if you have video or pictures, feel free to send them to me! I unfortunately got almost nothing of our jump rounds and definitely neglected to pull out my phone for a handful of the flat classes.
When I tried this horse in Austin 10 weeks ago I text her now owner "BUY HER NOW" before I had even stepped out of the arena. Every week since she has made me feel like we really did hit the jackpot finding her. She is forward but still quiet, smart, willing, kind, and definitely a worker bee. Those traits combined with being a lovely mover make her the perfect mount for an aspiring AA.

Highlights from this week's intermediate group. We were just missing Sawyer!
Canter work out in the big arena this evening followed by a mini unplanned jump school. Hard to believe she was barely green broke this time last year!

I can't even with this mare 😍
Only place in Wichita with a round pen like this! We currently have room for new boarders-- full service pasture or stall board with daily turn out in a 5 acre grass pasture. Call us or come out for a tour of our pony paradise!
Pride had his 2nd jump school yesterday and cantered through some baby grid work like a champ. This week the jumps will get bigger for him and we will introduce some more complicated grids. I'm very excited about his future and know that he's going to be the backbone of our program!
Mini clip from Pride's very first jump! This guy is going to be a rock star lesson pony.
