HS Topsail DunIt
“Squirt” starting to put it together! First day loping through the pattern, and he’s already got a super cool turning style! This dude is gonna be so cool!!
Reached a milestone today, and got my brand put on a horse for the first time 🤩 Tito got to be the horse that carries that title. Love ya big, T ❤️ #freezebranding #slsilverbeduino Huge thank you to Dr. Honeycutt at Ridge Haven Equine ❤️❤️ #FELIXPRIETOBRANDINGIRONS
Before and after of Jag, 9yo OTQH gelding! He was extremely front end heavy and bracey when I first started working with him, and would get flat coming into the turn and lock me out and then scramble around on the backside. Now he really works off my leg and hand, and uses that powerful hind end so much better! I was super excited to send this one home!
I have ✨TWO✨ available spots for tune ups/pattern work starting next week, message me to claim yours!
Fancy, 3yo #BLMMustang Day 3 vs Day 46
I have held off on posting updates on this mare, as for quite a while there was nothing to report. Although she was sweet as pie when you approached her and handled her, she was flighty, reactive, and combative when fleeing wasn’t option when working with her. She would kick HARD and accurately at anything that moved and anything that didn’t. And had no problem bulldozing you over if something behind her startled her. After weeks of extensive groundwork, I was still absolutely sure that her first ride was going to be explosive and set her up for failure. So I kept pressing on with ponying her off other horses, leaning over her, leaving her saddled for hours on end until she quit kicking the stirrups and her belly trying to get the cinches off, getting on and off repeatedly and occasionally I’d have her step around a bit. Yesterday she finally told me that she was ready for her first ride. Usually I start in the roundpen but I knew that if she blew, we needed some room to work it out so that we didn’t trash any panels 🤣 she rode off like she was already greenbroke and really put her trust in me. We have bonded pretty tightly over the last couple of weeks and she really comes to me when she’s unsure. Its such an incredible feeling to have a mustang choose you. Its unlike any other! #coltstarting #horsetrainer #horsetraining #americanmustang
First lope through for #SLSilverBeduino tonight. FB won’t let me add a video to a post that already has photos attached, so I’m having to post this separately! So so proud of this guy 🥹🥹
Blue 4 barrel drill 1/19/21
Miss Blue tried out the 4 barrel drill today! I’m working on keeping her moving fluidly around the barrels away from the pattern, to help her not anticipate her turns and set up too early and keep her driving through her turns!
