Last week Meghan & I were blessed with the opportunity to participate in a Josh Lyons/Lyons Legacy 5-Day Trainers Clinic!

This has by far been the most thorough, educational & confidence inspiring clinic I have ever experienced! We learned so many new training techniques and exercises. Meg & I have both taken our horsemanship skills to a whole new level!

Thank You Josh, for sharing all of your time & experience with us, we are looking forward to working with you more in the future!
&
Thank You to our parents for the BEST Christmas gift, I will never forget this incredible experience & being able to share these amazing memories with my sister 💕

Josh Lyons/Lyons Legacy Trainers Clinic Day 1 Complete! ✅

After a ‘fresh’ warmup session Meghan and I were both a bit nervous to see how our ponies would handle the remainder of the day. Thankfully Josh did a wonderful job controlling the group energy & after a few minutes of stretching Casanova & Scarlett were both ready to rock and roll!!!

We both learned so much & it’s only day 1! I can’t wait to see what tomorrow has in store, stay tuned!

Anyone looking for Hay or Compost/Aged Manure?

I have a connection in the Wilmot, WI area that has an abundance of the 2…

Hay is from last season, it’s beautiful quality but was sitting alongside an exterior wall - there is a bit of mold on the first flake or 2 but 75%+ each bale is totally fine. If you’re short on hay and don’t mind sifting through a couple flakes this is the deal for you! $2/bale - must pickup

Compost/Manure is aged over 5 years in some spots - truly black gold! FREE, just come pick it up! DM me and I can use the loader to scoop it into your truck or trailer.

The Appaloosa is a horse breed associated historically with the Nez Perce (Niimipu) Tribe. The name may originate from “a Palouse,” which referred to the region where the horses were bred. It is likely that these horses originally came from a variety of Spanish horses—so-called spotted horses—that were traded into the Northwest by the mid to late eighteenth century. The horses were then bred by the Nez Perce.

The Appaloosa is also known as the Nez Perce Horse. The first documented reports of horses in Oregon are in the journals of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, who noted spotted horses similar to the Appaloosa among the Nez Perce Tribe.

The Nez Perce valued the Appaloosa for its intelligent temperament, sure-footedness, endurance, and speed. They required their horses to negotiate the treacherous trails from their winter quarters in the Wallowa Valley of eastern Oregon through the Rocky Mountains to the summer encampments on the Plains. The horses were fast enough to catch a bison and paso fino—that is, smooth-gaited—enough to allow a hunter to fire with accuracy from a full gallop.

The original Nez Perce Appaloosa nearly died out after the Nez Perce War in 1876, when the U.S. military confiscated the Tribe’s herds. A few of the breed survived into the twentieth century, however, and in the 1930s horsemen in eastern Oregon worked to revive it. As a modern horse breed, the Appaloosa is distinctive for its mottled skin, visible sclera (the white outer layer of the eye), and vertical-striped hooves.

The Appaloosa is one of the most distinctive and valued American horse breeds in the world. The Nez Perce Tribe and other horse ranchers in the region are continuing to develop the desirable traits that were bred into the original breed in the nineteenth century.
