Got two of the three boys rode this evening. Everybody did great tonight. Maybe it was cold enough for them to say “I better be good or dad will work me in the ground” 🤣 !

The sorrel pictured “whisky” is in for training. Very nice draft/quarter cross. Very athletic and soft spoken! Videos on him will be posted soon 😎

Success in my eyes is only a peace of mind, which typically involves self-satisfaction in knowing you’ve made that leap or put forth your best efforts to be the best!! We are capable of so much in this life with various practices of proper discipline, humbleness, and determination that heed our own success!

Each and every opportunity that is presented to me to throw a leg over a horse or multiple horses, I admire the lessons taught by each horse and what that particular horse has to offer.. training horses doesn’t involve making them do what you want, but more so helping them understand what is being effectively communicated through practices of horsemanship! I’m so blessed to have the opportunities and equipped knowledge taught to me by many professionals to teach/train horses to their own successful stories🙌🏾 As I continue to grow and learn more from others in the future, my vision and goals will pull me deeper to success🙌🏾 I encourage all reading this message to pursue success and remain humble throughout the process… it’s coming🙏🏾 it’s on the way🙏🏾 Let’s prepare and get ready for it so that we give ourselves the best shot each and everytime💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥

Do you ever find yourself lost in choosing a trainer for your horses? Do you ever struggle to find an honest, knowledgeable equine coach? Where should you start? How do you know to listen and trust this person? Well let me share some insight to my training program and what I “do” for my clients😎

I personally don’t ride horses everyday. But I do ride at least three times a week. Horses in my program are “taught” not “worked “. If you’re teaching them, you’re working them. In my opinion, horses don’t need to be ridden in the ground everyday to be taught understanding. When you teach a horse something new, it’s like planting a seed of some sort, preparing that seed to grow. Of course that seed will not grow to it’s full potential in a day, week, 30days, 120days, etc., but what it will do is grow over time with proper preparation, nurturing, and foundation. The first ride to a new method is the preparation, which can either be good or bad depending on the teacher! On the second ride, you teach right from wrong in moderation to what the brain can handle! The third ride, you lay the foundation and grow a little each day‼️ If you can ride at least three times a week, and repeat the process through consistency, watch your seed grow into a calm,strong, confident bloom that continues to thrive more and more. When choosing a trainer for your horse, know their “seed preparation”, watch them, study them, understand their thoughts, and ride WITH THEM. Watch how their checklist coincides with the horses learning abilities in their current program! This will provide you with all the information you need! Anyone can edit a video to look nice, but not everyone execute their knowledge!

I love teaching and giving lessons. With my lesson program I strive to push my clients to becoming their own trainer! I like to post the real, non-edited rides to show that not each ride or maneuver will be perfect, but the beauty of a horse is that, they learn through repetition👍

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” Everyday I get to at least be at the barn with my horses, client horses, family, friends feels like I’ve won the biggest prize! Experience and perseverance will always be your best teacher BTB family‼️never discredit those around you, everyone has something to teach you despite it being good or bad! Learn where to go or where not to go 💯
