PHEW!!! Yall June and July have been crazy busy!!!

Nestly went home after learning how to ground drive and be caught like a gentleman. He really made leaps and bounds in his 60 days of being here.

Shovel and Flower now load and back off the trailer.

Pedro leads and loads on the trailer. As well as stands tied too!

We had a trio of mini mules come in and only have 1 left that is available.

Luna came in for being started under saddle.

Spirit was just delivered yesterday for some desensitizing and hopefully getting under saddle.

A new horse was brought in today. After some groceries and training he will be available.

Horses that are available now are……
Shovel
Flower
Marjorie
Pedro

Nestly has learned all sorts of things this month.
Today was his greatest accomplishment. However, he still wants to be a bronc star.

These little girls are doing so good since I separated them.

Their progress is just by leaps and bounds!! I can’t wait to see where we are at at the end of this week.

We got Flower (name pending) moved today.
She did just fine leading over to her new stall. Only a little bobble coming out of the gate. Which I knew would happen anyway.

Shovel (name pending) the bay is still in the round pen but has already made great strides and is already letting me walk up to her and touch her. 😊

Everyone welcome Nestly in!!!

Nestly is here for some training for handling and riding is the end goal for this guy.
He may be little but he is spunky.
He is definitely stand off-ish and could do without humans. But we are going to win him over with treats and love. He just needs a gentle hand and training method to help him. 😊

We are excited to be a part of Nestly’s journey.

Meg made her first riding trip away from home yesterday!!

We love the horsemanship that Ms Kayla has and the foundation that she puts on every single one of the horses she trains.

Meg didn’t spook a single time. She didn’t blink an eye. She did look at the giant vac and the cattle shoot a little weird. But a couple times walking by them she did great!!

The face of determination.

I haven’t posted here in a while because well I have been insanely busy.

We are participating in Ride for Success for the next 2 rides where we are riding for Autism.

Horses shows are coming up. Pictured is Ethan and Carlos very first horse show together. Both of them did wonderful! What a wonderful foundation both, rider and horse, have.
Meg and Marlene have a few other shows coming up this month and next month with a couple of 4H kiddos.

We do have a training spot open for May and June. A deposit will now be required as we have saved spots for 2 potential training horses and yet nether have showed up nor will at least answer and let me know either way. Hey if you found someone else by all means go that route. Just let me know so I don’t continue to save your spot.
Back to the deposit. Deposit are non refundable and will go to your monthly cost. 1/2 will be due upfront.

4 horse camps scheduled! Events in between! And Ms Kayla is running for school board!! She is a busy lady.

🥂 here is to yet again another busy year.

This picture doesn’t look like much but it’s HUGE!!

This mare is sooo distrustful of people to the point that she can be aggressive. Lord knows she has bit me countless times and tried to kick and strike me as much as she can.

She has been turned out with a halter and drag on. (Hoping this would make transition easier for her) but it hasn’t.

This morning while feeding them I dumped half their pan and kept half in the bucket. I stayed by the pan and held the bucket out. If she wants to eat she is going to have to get close to me either way.

After she tested getting close to me, snorting, and trying to find another way to get the feed she finally decided to eat from the bucket that I was holding. This is such a HUGE step in the right direction for this mare.

She also doesn’t have a name yet. 😬
Maybe Dorothy would be good for her.

No matter how easy it may seem; it’s not.

Although the first ride can be pretty fun to watch. Here they are uneventful. We really prepare those horses for the first ride.

The eventful ride is the third, fourth or fifth ride. This is the ride where they will buck, rear, or just plain throw a fit.

And this is exactly what Mercy did today. Her first and second ride where great! But today on her third ride she said she just didn’t want to do it and was absolutely nasty about it.

So here I am second degree burns on my hand, a massive migraine, a nice bruise on my left arm, a bruised rib (hoping it’s not cracked), and dirt on my back pockets. I am very glad I had my OneK helmet on, because I would probably be typing this from the ER awaiting staples.

But no matter what, I had to finish our session. I couldn’t end her training session on a bad note. I got back on her and ended on a nice walk around after some desensitizing.

On to the next training session. 🍻

We were able to get Luna saddled today and she did great!! I haven’t been able to work her much in the last 2-3 weeks. But boy did she do great today. She got a full grooming, and all 4 hooves picked up and picked out.

She did some normal stuff for her first Western saddle outfit. I do think she is going to progress quickly.

Go Mercy!!

Luna 🌙 is getting ready to learn more new things and she is considering if she really wants to learn these things. 😂

General Lee is really doing good!! We will be riding in the arena for our next week and then out and about.

What an amazing accomplishment this is for Hercules. In February when he arrived I thought this would never be attainable. But here we are.

First time for Megara She is going to be awesome

I worked with Carol on loading. It took her a minute to figure it out but she did. And she did perfect. I asked her to load twice and we called it a day. Carol was given to us close to 2 years ago out of a kill pen. We had to work hard to load her. Nearly feral. Wanted nothing to do with people. We had to herd her on the trailer. I worked with her for a couple of weeks. Then I turned her out to be a happy donkey after quarantine. I haltered her the day before attempting to load her to see how she would do. She accepted the halter extremely well even remembering to lower her head into the halter. She lead around the barn fine but didn’t want to travel anywhere. Long ears aren’t difficult to train. They just require patience. Ask and wait for an answer. if they say no change direction and ask again. Let them decide they want to do what you asked. And always remember it’s the way you ask. Not what you ask.

Today was a good day to get a first ride on this little girl. Feather knew absolutely nothing when coming to me in august. She now knows leading, loading, picking up hooves, working on standing for farrier, fly spray, standing tied, grooming. She has been saddled a few times and stood still and accepted everything crazy thing I have done. There was lots going on! Tony was blowing leaves, traffic, Ethan doing Ethan things and she handled it all in stride. She backs very well. If we could back and pivot everywhere we needed to go she would go absolutely wherever I needed her to go. So fixing her forward motion is next. She has not been able to be ground drove because of a prior to coming to me issue with ropes and legs. She is almost over this and will be ready ground drive in the next week or so.

Sometimes when you run out of stuff to work on with the baby you have to make up something. This baby has been with me since birth. He didn’t look it but he will be turning 2 in May!! He will always be a little guy. He has seriously been exposed to EVERYTHING! Nothing phases him at all

This girl has previously very little to no handling when coming to KMA. so far she has learned to lead, lunge, load, pick up hooves, stand tied, fly spray, and most recently to being saddled. At first she was very concerned about being saddled but quickly settled and acted like she has done this several times. This was her first saddling and first time trotting with the saddle on. Never once did she buck. I was able to stirrup drive and begin the starting stages of flexing. She still has some desensitizing to do but overall I couldn’t be more proud. This is what happens when you set your horse up for success. Build your foundation correctly.
