Sit down cow pony (completely race bred Dash Ta Fame gelding🤣)
Barrel horse turned rope horse? Malibu is the real deal 🤩
Y’all remember Trump? He was a finished cowboying horse, started heel horse, used in every aspect of ranch work. He is the definition of a work horse. I haven’t met a horse that loves a job as much as he does. I sold him to a good friend of mine, and his heart lit up at the opportunity of being a pony horse. This horse glows under pressure. Everyone here is absolutely heart warmed at the sight of him working his new job. This is the most rewarding part about selling horses. Watching them excel and be loved.
Trot and spin: this is a drill I use on horses that are more hind end motivated in the spin. A spin should be a forward stepping motion, allowing the horse to plant the hind end, and walk the shoulder around. If a horse is stuck in the backward momentum, as Moe here was, they can get stuck and it will throw them out of the spin. This horse would get stuck in the backward step. About 20 minutes of just a simple shoulder lift at a trot, I got him moving forward and into the spin. This is an easy drill to work with horses and is crucial in keeping them motivated in their turn around.
Barrel horses that do it all >>> 🤤
Big Sky is a 5 year old draft cross that came to us to be started under saddle. At the beginning, the progress was slow. She’s big and she sure knows it. Now after 30 days, she’s riding around, extremely soft in the face, good stop, drops her head down for bridling, and even stands still while I climb up all 17 hh of her 😂
She has been such a joy to have in the barn. I’m excited to see what her and @ambria.wood accomplish ❤️
A fun little drill to help build confidence and get horses thinking! Jimmy is a trooper!
Very first futurity show case on my favorite little red mare 🤩 she impresses me every day with her try!
Mix Me A Malibu Margarita’s first time to town! She went in and ran like she had done it a million times! Couldn’t be too disappointed about the wider barrels, I was not expecting her to go in with confidence like that! I got left behind 🤣 The transition as the colts grow up still catches me off guard every time. I love this mare and her heart.
1st time on the dummy for Moe! Not only did he learn to track it and work a rope, he was pinning his ears, eating that cow! I’m so excited to get this one in the box! It’s hard to find them this cowy and eager to learn! 🤩
