So proud of this kiddo, he has achieved red level which earned him an independent trail ride with me riding with him instead of walking next to him. Doesn’t he have the best smile?

Finally getting a chance to dive into the training I’ve immersed myself in this year. Indy’s session today was mostly using acupressure points with some of the introduction to craniosacral therapy and osteopathic techniques I am learning. He started out agitated with pinned ears, guarding, pawing, very clearly letting me know his body is not happy, but after a short period of gentle persistence, he allowed me to work with his body. I also was recently attuned to Reiki and I offered that to him as well.

He went through many releases and then spent a great deal of time processing. When he was ready to engage again his mood that was previously agitated was lighter, seemingly grateful, he stopped guarding his body, ears were relaxed, and he went off to consume a lot of water.

I find it interesting that Wilder, our cat, always joins these sessions. Maybe she’s offering support or asking to receive, I’m not sure, but she always shows up.

These two are looking fabulous together. Lucy is gaining strength after some struggles in her hind end recently and Katy is doing awesome with getting back into riding after a bit of time off.

I truly enjoy watching these two grow together. Grace has her person and Becky has the perfect partner. I really do love my job 😊

This time of year is so busy, but took some time today to stroll around the property and enjoy the colors and smells of Fall with my favorite girl.

This is by far my favorite time of year to ride, but the horses seem to really like this feel good weather also 🤣

Rainy day trail lesson

Catching up on posting some lesson pics, I am terrible at remembering to take pictures but love to grab moments that make me smile.

These kiddos are always making me smile, watching them grow and connect with these horses and standing by while they make memories I hope they will remember for many years.

When it’s in you it’s in you. Horses have a way of affecting certain people in ways that can be really hard to explain.
Horses can be grounding, reflective, meditative, they can open us up to things we wouldn’t discover about ourselves on our own, sometimes things that can make us uncomfortable. They expose our fears, our weaknesses but also our nurturing, creative, intuitive selves.
I’ve not found anything during my walk on this earth quite like the horse to humble me in ways that make me better as a human being.

These girls took advantage of the beautiful weather we are having and opted for a trail ride. Can’t blame them, there is something special about spending time with your best friend in the quiet of the woods.

Savannah is developing her seat and learning how to change diagonals at trot. She is a wonderful student, always trying and always listening. She definitely loves her Indy 💕
