It's nice when the horses help with the chores! When we bring Syd in from turnout, he's happy to open his own gate (and hustle through) to help us out. Such a giver!

Hey Las Cruces riders and students: I have an opportunity for a rider to lease a cute Thoroughbred gelding. He needs some work on the ground but has tons of potential. Belongs to a friend of mine who can't give him the attention he needs until her new baby gets a little older. If you're interested, text or call Susie at 575 496 1304 and we'll talk.

Well on Christmas morning, I noticed that Pippin's very large stocking was almost empty (it had in it one candy cane that I put there...) When I asked him why Santa had not left him with a full stocking, he stuck out his tongue. Here's both the empty stocking and his response.

Welcome new student, Luna! She received lessons from Santa Claus and took her first one the day after Christmas. She was enthusiastic, attentive and charming! We look forward to seeing Luna at the barn again very soon! Thanks to her very cool mom and dad for reaching out. And, of course, thanks to Pippin for another great lesson. We love you, Pip!

Such a great Christmas present! Students Sammy, KK, Poppy, AnneE and Lauren made this awesome plank with the barn name on one side and all my riders' and horses' names on the other side! And add in some adorable playing card fillers that say "jump". And for another jump, some really cute red and white peppermint fillers. So touched that these ladies made such an effort to give me such a great present! Indy was the first one to jump it!

Well Santa Claus came early to Red SKy. Working student Sammy gifted the barn this very cool tripod to use for making videos. I've seen these before but never actually tried one. So thanks, Sammy/Santa! It will get a lot of use!

Being creative in the barn during a New Mexico winter: is it cold? is it warm? is it hot? Is it all three in one day? Poppy uses her creativity to get Teddy ready for bed after a sweaty lesson.

Hey Everyone! Here's Something Fun! Can you tell us "what's wrong with this picture?" List the things you see that are unsafe, wasteful, precarious or an accident waiting to happen. Let's see what you got!

Centered Riding

So what does a horse have to do to be considered a "Red Sky Horse?" It's a long list, but one of the most important personality traits is putting up with shenanigans from the ladies. Cisco has turned into a true Red Sky horse: he has to put up with kisses like this from KK and Poppy! Shenanigans!

As a trainer, I see riders of all types, talents and skill levels. I've always said that ANYONE can ride a horse with the right instruction, and I still believe that! Once in a while, I find a rider that has "natural talent," which is something that's a little hard to define. One thing that pops up immediately is when a rider's leg just goes in the right place from the very start when we get the stirrups at the right length. I demonstrate where the thigh, knee, calf, heel and foot belong, and it goes there! This happened with new student, Stacey. Her leg went to the right position and just doesn't move. I'll take credit for that, but it's really all about Stacey's conformation and her willingness to listen and learn. Here's her first two-point. Thanks, Pippin, for a great lesson.

Every now and then, a horse does something very adorable and he doesn't even know it! Syd has no idea how cute he is, and that makes him even more adorable. He looks like he's posing for his confirmation pictures at church!

Shauna found Picasso's "sweet spot" and he appreciated it. He almost fell asleep! It's fun to have Shauna in the barn. She drives over from Alamogordo (Holloman) and we appreciate it!

Enjoying watching the ladies get more fit and confident. Janene and Pippin make a great team and jumping full courses is getting very organic and natural for them.

12/03/2024

The young'ens get a lot of attention on the FB page because they love the social media attention. But the real meat and potatoes of the barn are the "more senior" adult riders who bring their wisdom and experience with them. Shirley rides Pico, Janene rides Pippin and KK (she's not "more senior"...) rides Cisco. Fun lesson riding full courses.

Just a quick video of Indy over his first oxer. Thanks to Lauren for being the pilot. I think it's safe to say this guy has a good jump.

I love to see a rider succeed. But more so, I love to see a horse succeed. I love it when a horse comes to us and "blossoms:" healthier, happier, friendly and curious, interested in people, good attitude, looking for the next jump and taking his rider there, appreciating life, looking forward to being ridden. And our Picasso (Pico) makes my heart happy! He was not in good health when he arrived here last year, but he has thrived and is now a happy, healthy gelding jumping around at the horse shows! A big thanks to barn mom Aga who took a chance on this guy and saved his life. And Sammy gets a lot of credit, too, for her devotion to her lessons and her hard work with Pico. We love you, Pico and Sammy! Bonus: this horse has a pretty good jump and is 90% on the lead changes!

More State Fair fun! Lauren got her best trip just when she needed it in the Progressive Derby! All the changes, all the distances. We're still not sure of the placings because they were still doing it when we left Albuquerque at 9:30 pm. Update soon. Thanks to Lanie for always allowing us to put more jumps on her wonderful horse! And thank you, Pippin, for always coming through when the going gets tough. A well-deserved ride for Lauren who does so much for so many people.

First night of the State Fair Show! Great stalls, awesome show management, and an old fashioned draft horse pull!

Lauren and Indy have "history." She seems to be the first one to ride him for some of his "milestones." Among other special moments, she was his first lead change and his first butt foam (both from today.) You two are precious!
