Safe to say Vinny enjoyed his jump lesson this weekend 😂

I can’t believe the progress this made has made in LESS than a month!
All our horses have been happy and settled in well, but Callie so far is the Most Improved Pony of our gang! She’s so comfortable physically since moving to Kayenta, and it’s showing not just in the way she goes and carries herself, but also in how consistently happy she’s been! I can’t believe this is the same horse.
I love this mare.
This video is with one of our super adult students, whose commitment is paying off in progress as well!

Fetching horses in the jungle!!
Someone is happy to be jumping this spring!
#throwbackthursday to watching Tamie Smith and Mai Baum celebrate their win in Kentucky last weekend!
A simple line is always a great opportunity to practice and improve straightness.
A small circle before the line can be added provided that the horse and rider can ride the circle well enough that it improves the riders ability to keep the horse between the aid and maintain a rhythm.
Today, a gymnastic exercise with a bounce, to a one stride, to a two stride. This is a great exercise to practice footwork for the horse and for the rider to practice their position over several different stride lengths.
A simple exercise to introduce rhythm and allow riders to practice maintaining a consistent rhythm before and after an obstacle is to practice over trot poles (in this example, three trot poles) and ensure you can maintain the same rhythm before, through, and after the poles.
Windy day yesterday! 🌬️
And yet the worst day outside is still better than the best day inside.
It’s never too early to start introducing fillers to young horses (but keep your heels down! 😆)
Todays exercise… The circle of doom! 😆 But it doesn’t have to be doom… start small with piles of poles, and build based on the horse and rider!
#throwbackthursday to jumping my best boy 🦄

Another simple gymnastic, in this case set for a horse who is still fairly new to this type of exercise- one stride, to two strides, to two strides. This horse and her pilot did great!
