Blessed to get to spend a little time with these two geldings before they head off to the sale to find their new families. If you’re in the market, send me a message and I can give you the details of where they are selling on Saturday.

Stepping up onto foreign objects can be really scary for a horse. Between depth perception and the innate sense to protect their most valuable assets - their legs and hooves - I completely understand! Will she ever need to load onto a flatbed trailer? Probably not. Will she have greater trust in her handler the more she steps onto scary things and lives to tell the tale? Absolutely!

It’s been awhile! Since I returned from California, we have had several family emergencies, as well as delays with our build project on the new property. However, it is with great enthusiasm that we are officially in business in Alvord, TX 🥰

I have a couple horses on my list, I expect to be taking new clients by 2025. If you need something sooner, give me a shout and let’s see what we can do!

Shorty, my personal horse is finally home. I’m so thrilled to have him here and for the future improvements on the barn.

As a side note, I’d like to mention the importance of having horses in my care, on my own property. Although Shorty was boarded with a very good friend who took EXCELLENT care of him during this transition, I don’t typically board horses - personal or client. I completely understand that it is sometimes necessary for trainers and respect them all the more. However, it is imperative to my program that the horse sees, interacts, and relies on me on a daily basis. Whatever the training plan may look like, we will always work on feeding and handling manners. We will spend non-training time together. I will learn there mannerisms and personality thoroughly. All of these things are inhibited by a boarding situation. I want to be 100% involved in their care. I do not hand my horses off for cooling or saddling, I am their provider of sustenance and water, and I hope to become the herd member they look forward to seeing.

It’s that time again - we’re getting ready to do first cutting of the pastures this weekend. Let me know if you’re interested in square bales! Naturally occurring grasses including Bermuda, rye, and barley.

✨ Let them be snorty ✨
After a brief hiatus due to family medical emergencies, I am getting ready to start working horses again. I’m back in Texas and will have a limited offering of services starting in May, as we work to finish our new property.

My personal horse, Shorty, hasn’t done anything other than look pretty in 6 months 😬 Yes, he’s out of shape. Yes, he’d rather things stay that way. Yes, he is *snorty* Shorty. Set them up for success and ensure a safe environment - but let’s not tip toe around our horses! Let them experience life and build a well rounded partner.

Here it is! As promised, my list of pre-riding prep. The order, intensity, and expectation varies by horse - they’re all individuals. I may even skip or add items if they need it BUT, in a perfect world, this is what I’d like to do before I “start” a young horse. I hope it gives some perspective on the time it takes to truly build a quiet, willing partner that is well-prepared and maybe even provides some homework for you as you’re working with your own young horses.

I am not ashamed to move a horse around before I swing a leg over them - and you shouldn’t be either! No matter how broke, how old, or how experienced they are: every horse can get a little frisky sometimes!

“Checking up” a young horse
“Checking up” a young horse

“Checking up” a young horse is a point of controversy among trainers - I resisted it for a long time. Now though, it’s an important part of my training program. As you see here, I do something a little different: I use a bungee cord instead of a rein. I find that this has more “give” than a rein, allows them to test it with a pull, and is super fast to get undone should there be a problem. This is a tip I learned from a mentor of mine, Jack Strand. I only do this once a horse has confidence, can flex to the bridle, is forward, only a few minutes to each side, and ALWAYS supervised. Much like foot ropes and hobbles, a well prepared horse is essential. They get comfortable in a bridle and learn to follow the feel first with their nose and then with their feet. Notice when he pulls, be doesn’t get in trouble, the bungee cord doesn’t yank on his face, he simply learns the pressure doesn’t go away until he gives and follows through, which is how our hands should be when riding. Guiding, not disciplining.

Do I do this with my horses? Yes and no! I will work through it with them, I will make sure the button is there… but I’m not going to spend a lot of time there. It’s extremely important to have a horse soft to your leg in all 3 positions - however, I do not think it’s necessary to have a horse yielding multiple circles around a front pivot foot. To me, it’s a stretch and a building block for other lateral movements like sidepassing.

We often don’t think twice about working our domestic horses in arenas, barns, covered pens… but for a horse that grew up in the wild, those places can be scary! Remember, if their fear switch is on - their learning switch is off.
