Good ponies. Good kids. Good life. ❤️
Private barn, ready for its new occupants, arriving Sunday! ❤️
Turn your volume up! Sometimes, when I’m too afraid to look, I listen to the cadence! Sound, sound. ❤️
This was Whiskey’s first official hand walk since her injury/surgery and the receipt for your kindness! She is one loved and lucky gal. 🙏
Fantastic day at the Hunter Pace! ❤️
Second water hazard….filling now! 😂
I have to admit….I was a little concerned about the abundance of joy at the hand gallop…but Simon the Awful came right back down. ❤️ Happy ponies today, working out of the arena. 💕
Gymnastics and strength training day - one at 17 hands and the other at 13.2. ❤️
Clown trailer!! 11 horses, headed to the mountains for our JEC Barn Retreat! ❤️
Have you ever seen a 17.1 hand monster limbo to come check to see what the hold up is on his breakfast alfalfa?!? We had to set up a camera to catch him, and yes, he knew it was there!! 😂🤷♀️
It’s LOIS, the comeback kid, back in action! Cooking a Warmblood baby and taking names. Toughest mare in the world. ❤️
New team handshake…I think it needs some work! ❤️
Two of our 10 and 12 year old students started schooling on lead changes and understanding the similarities of the lead change and landing leads today…..
……after a phenomenal lesson, I asked them if they learned anything as they left the arena to cool off together down the road. They both agreed, no knowledge gained today. 😂😂 We’re sneaking up on them, stealth mode style. ❤️
Charlie’s first ride on Rikki in 6 months or longer…we can’t even remember!
It’s almost SHOW TIME!! 10pm, finishing schooling, dragging the indoor and outdoor and setting courses and we’re ready! Gates open at 8am, show starts at 10am, sharp! ❤️
Our work to become like the Spanish Gaucho has begun, with an end goal of cantering perfect circles with our poles set……
…..or the goal might have been to desensitize our ponies and work on our horsemanship. It might have been to give the girls a little distraction from the hard work they’ve been putting in. It might have been to make them giggle for a minute.
….no matter the goal, we’re on a quest. ❤️
Ridiculous shenanigans today by happy horses! ❤️
