Here's some things you missed (pt. 1) 🩷
What started off unintentional - became an intentional social media break the last few months (at least from some elements), and it's been SO nice. Deprioritizing posting and social media has felt so aligned with my soul. I DO want to get back to posting some happenings around the barn that bring me joy, so here I am. This is just a gentle reminder that you don't have to do social media, you certainly don't have to post, and that WE each make the rules. It's hard when you have a business whose success can depend on how many folks you can traffic to it, but it's good to figure out the line between garnering business, sharing your passion, and keeping your sanity.
If you need me l'll be out here toeing the line.

Anyway, here are some things from the last few months like group rides, feed store hauls, cute kittens and chickens, ponying training cute babies, mud, runs, lazy ba****ck rides, cute tail bags and more.

Part 2 with the BIG things that you missed coming soon... maybe tomorrow😉 For those of you who stuck around despite me not posting much but the occasional story, I appreciate you!

Who doesn’t want a new pony for Christmas? 🤍🎁

We have few sweet ladies available here at Coughing Cowgirl for lease and sale if you’re looking for your next mount! Come join our barn family and pick up a fun activity to get you through the winter. We specialize in first time horse ownership and cultivating a peaceful, fun, and educational environment for riders of all levels.

Beads 💎 for sale~ 18 y/o OTTB mare. Was a kids trail horse for 10 years but could use some more time and direction in the arena. Sweet as pie no buck or bite, athletic girl with no racing injuries. Will make a fun, easy winter project for an intermediate rider.
2️⃣9️⃣🍎🍎

Margo 🥭 for care lease or sale~ 18 u/o reg. Arabian mare. Goes English, western, and is a great trail mount. So fun to ride and a fancy mover! I also consider her a little bit of a project as she could use some consistency getting back into work.

Milkshake 🍦 for PT lease ~ absolute saint of a senior pinto mare. Would love to find a part time lease for during the week when my step daughter isn’t using her and our lesson program is on break. She would be fantastic first lease horse for a beginner -intermediate child, teen or adult rider. Easy w/t/c and some buttons. Excellent trail horse and confidence builder.

Catydid 🐞 ~ 4 y/o grade QH mare (Sire was a reserve world champ). I’ve been tossing around the idea of finding Caty her person as being this trainer’s horse she has been on the back burner this year and she is simply too cool for that! Started cowhorse as a 3 y/o and ready to continue training in your direction. Easy mare, more whoa than go, in your pocket personality. Can hop on and w/t/c with some buttons, has been ponied on trails. I think she’s a great prospect for ranch riding, trail, future husband or kid horse, roping etc.
Thinking 5️⃣🥕

Flexible lease programs starting at 3️⃣2️⃣5️⃣/mo. Boarding rates starting at 3️⃣7️⃣5️⃣ and we welcome anyone who purchases to continue boarding or training here if desired. We offer limited stablehand positions in exchange for money off of leases and boarding as well! Let’s talk!

I didn’t catch the episode but this is very important!

💉 The literal “shot heard round the world”. It sounds like a horse received Flunixin or Banamine intramuscularly on an episode of last night? We would like to remind everyone that despite being labeled for intra-muscular use, horses should only ever receive this drug orally or intra-venously. Something that the folks at Yellowstone would need to be on the lookout for after this misplaced administration would be signs of gas and swelling under the neck or a painful injection site. Administering IM banamine to a horse can cause clostridial myositis and can lead to a serious infection that requires surgical and antibiotic intervention. Despite intervention, these infections can be fatal.

Our Story

Coughing Cowgirl Horse Training began as CC Horse Training in Meridian, Idaho in 2012 when I noticed an overwhelming need for a natural horsemanship approach to training in the treasure valley. I had spent the last several years interning and training alongside professional horsemen and women in both New Jersey and Idaho. I got to witness many training styles, and work with a variety of horses of all breeds, disciplines, and walks of life.

Through my experiences I found my first niche in c**t starting and correcting behavioral problems. I was able to develop a program utilizing primarily natural horsemanship and least resistance training techniques; this produced willing horses, that had a solid foundation based on trust instead of fear, and were capable of going in any direction.

I wanted to maximize on not only training and caring for horses correctly, but educating owners on how to do so also. And in this, my second niche was found: Helping new and existing horse-folk navigate horse ownership. Through a program that includes lessons from the ground up, leases, pre-purchase training evaluations, and continued full care boarding and training services- I am able to coach my clients through every step of horse ownership so that they feel competent in the decisions they make in all of their equine endeavors.

We are now settled in Meridian, Idaho and offer quality horse boarding, training, riding instruction and more.
