This GOOBER of a horse decided to wear the hay ring today… he heard talk about dancing and dresses, I’m pretty sure he felt left out so he improvised and made a dress for himself. I’ll have to set him straight on who’s supposed to wear the dress, but hay, at least it’s good practice. I might be a little embarrassed to say this thing is one I have high hopes for 🤣🤣🤣 #andalusian #ANCCE #stallion #yearling #buckskin #dresstoimpress
This guy has fully integrated into herd life and will be searching for his new home shortly! Meanwhile, he has been making leaps and bounds of progress in his training as well. You WILL NOT find another Gypsy vanner on the market with this guys incredible skill set. #schoolhalt #gypsy #gypsyvanner #horsetraining #westernhorse #dressagehorse
I think it’s safe to say we had our final ride for the year down at Eau Galle! Took three first timers with to see the sights too and they all did phenomenal ❤️
Badger was his confident, easy, solid self and helped give confidence to the newbies. Someone is going to get themselves a heck of a horse with this guy! Just a go anywhere and do anything kind of attitude and loves to please.

Teaching a GROUND TIE 🤩 definitely one of the most useful skills your horse can have. This can be beneficial for in-your-pocket horses that just want to follow you, distracted horses that can’t stay focused, or horses that struggle to stand still.
This was his first time working on this, but will be handy for future things! My cue is the word “whoa” and a stop sign with my hand. You can see here I use a whip to help clarify my expectation of him standing still while I walk around, but that will quickly be phased out once he understands what’s being asked. And as he grows more comfortable with this, I can increase distance further and further.
Things a horse needs to know before they learn a ground tie?
1) Back up at a distance
2) Stop on the word “whoa”
3) Optional - comfortable with the use of whips for moving body parts in case I need to put him back
There is a video on my YouTube that breaks the process down!

There’s still a lot of people that ask me how to teach a horse to step over to a mounting block, and luckily I posted a video a while back about how to teach it! Be sure to follow the link if you’re curious.. it is beneficial for both you and your horse!

KitKat’s third time ever around gun fire, and our first attempt shooting while she’s down 🥰 good thing this horse trusts people as much as she does. She’s gonna make someone an incredible partner.
I spent years saying a wouldn’t be that person with a mini….
I spent years saying I wouldn’t be the person with a mini 🤣
But they do come in handy for teaching kids the ropes (especially on the ground), without the danger factor of a large horse.
Love my little Minnie Mouse ❤️ These two couldn’t be cuter
Baby fever is strong around here ❤️❤️❤️❤️
