Jayne Tonowski 's beautiful "Back Beauty" is so balanced. This clip was just a quick moment in time. He was just exploring some different answers to what I was asking. I love riding and training him! Thanks Jayne
I love this girl! I'm so grateful for our longtime friendship, over 30 years. I know she is always there for me even if we don't talk often! Lucky me, she is now bringing her niece for dressage coaching so I get to see her every week! And today she helped me with my mare Fiona today! Love you Gina Marie!!! (the other Gina)
Feeling so grateful!
I am proud of what I teach to all my students young and old.! I love to make thinking, problem solving riders!!!!
I texted my adult amateur student today, "Did u ride today?"
Her answer "I did ride and we had some moments and I rode through it and he let me ride him. Lots of circles and get off the leg get off that leg... I had my trainer brain on and schooled my position...he got better when I stayed my position we also had forward and a good trot to post! Did some turn on forehand then into canter...aborted left canter to right a couple times went on to other stuff came back to it and got it! He was on my aids towards the end of the ride."
My personal Barbie. We all love Fiona in the barn. Come by and visit. She's a love bug
One of Limericks riders took these photos of him!π
We LOVE β€οΈ π π Limerick. He's really a great horse, I'm lucky to have him for 17 years now πππ

HIGHLY PATHOGENIC AVIAN INFLUENZA UPDATE: With the recent detection of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in backyard poultry and domestic turkey flocks in California as well as increasing numbers of wild waterfowl, we continue to ask that you please temporarily take down all bird feeders and empty or screen birdbaths and fountains. This will help minimize wild birds congregating and potentially spreading this highly contagious virus among themselves and to backyard poultry and domestic flocks. This is especially important during the current fall migration season, which runs through December. While songbirds are less susceptible to the virus than raptors, corvids (ravens, crows and jays), and quail, they can spread the virus via contaminated surfaces. We will alert the public on social media and our website when we feel it is appropriate to bring out bird baths and bird feeders. For more information about highly pathogenic avian influenza and how we are responding, please visit https://bit.ly/3CfM7HA. Thank you for helping wildlife.

It's a pleasure working things out and building my relationship with my new 4 yr old Dream Horse/Barbie Doll Hanoverian, "Fiona". Thanks Anja Ibsen and Kelly Casey for all your support! You need it with a young talent! Video is a tad long but I finally got some stuff I felt worth sharing. I love my horses! And am so thankful at 59 yrs to finally have worked my way to own this talent and again make a Dream come true πΈπΌπΎπ₯
Yes I love Fidalgo and sometimes I feel he loves me, like today when I took him out to ride....
Everyone loves Lita. What a lovely sweet pony. She is still for sale.... call for more info.
I Love my Rolando. He is truly such a great horse! Beside beautiful, he is so talented and has a wonderful mind to work with!
I knew once Rolando got in the water he would have some fun. It only took a minute for Tommy to join in on the fun too. Short clip. (I had to still hold my reins)
Kodiak Retires..... Yesterday I was accompanied by Kodiak owners, Randy and Brenda House along with Shayla (his most recent rider) to retire Kodi. I thought I'd be a bundle of tears, but he was so happy to join the herd and the facility was so immaculate, I couldn't be anything but smiles! I am thankful for the years with Kodiak while watching him teach so many to ride, show and win Championships over and over again. Kodiak finished last year with his rider, Shayla KWPN Champion at first level! He is retiring at the age of 24 years old today! Enjoy your time Kodi, I'll miss you
