2012 OTTB
Mare
16h

I can't say enough good things about this mare. Neither can anyone that sits on her! This mare is very agreeable and wants to please. She is one of my favorite rides right now in the barn. She is a point and shoot, honest, confidence builder type over fences. She is lovely and easy on the flat. She is not your typical mare and truly doesn't mind being told what you want her to do. She is HAPPY to do it. However, if you give her an inch, she will take a mile. It's best to make sure you draw the line in the sand from the moment you get on. She can also have a bit of separation anxiety but works out of it quick and easy. This girl is the same if she is worked 6 days a week or once every 2 weeks. I've pulled this mare out of her field after a week of not being worked on the first chilly and rainy day in Virginia and she was a DREAM. The same thing happened after her 2 week Christmas vacation, it was a chilly morning and she went around nice and quiet for one of my adult re-riders. She. Is. GOOD. She would be incredibly ideal for an adult amateur who wants to do a bit of everything but only can only find saddle time a few days a week (but could also come out and visit almost daily to groom and give her treats). She loads, clips, bathes, ties, loves to be groomed, hacks out alone or with a group, does fine off property, she has foxhunted in a past life, loves treats, is barefoot currently (but will get shoes in the spring), lives out, and is an easy keeper. She has had her hocks, stifles, and front right fetlock injected recently. Her rads show an old and smooth bone chip in her front right fetlock that several vets (including NC State) said does not bother her, but she does have some effusion in that joint (reason for the inj.). I know for a fact whoever ends up with this horse will be incredibly happy! 1️⃣2️⃣🥕

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to all of our OTTBs, especially our’s here at KLE: Kate, Nesta, and Kim! 💗

12/17/2024

Our sweet Kate has been struggling with separation anxiety. I don’t take buddy sourness lightly because of the dangers it imposes, so I immediately try to get to the root of the issue. Naturally, horses are herd animals, so getting anxious over leaving their friends is a completely understandable thing. However, in this day and age with sport horses, leaving their friends happily is very important to the horse and rider’s success.

First, I started to put more attention on her body and trying to see if there was anxiety stemming from a discomfort that was making her feel vulnerable. She received couple of bodywork sessions that revealed some major muscle knots and tightness. While there was some improvements to her muscles, I still haven’t seen a turn to the direction I’m happy with. I’m not completely ruling out a body ache or pain as she will continue to get the treatments she needs, but I’m going to start trying to teach Kate some skills she needs to be able to cope with being away from her friends.

A couple of years ago, I participated in a clinic with the awesome Charlotte Cannon. Upon other wonderful exercises, one exercise she taught us was “Playground of Safety”. It was particularly fascinating because she explained how you can get a horse to go from a sympathetic (fight or flight) state of being, to a parasympathetic (rest, digest, create, play, learn, etc) state through simply maintaining a “bubble” around you. This causes the horse figure out coping mechanisms to activate their parasympathetic nervous system. It’s beautiful watching a horse become comfortable with having you as the leader and keeper of safety. I actively include this exercise in my program with horses that seem particularly nervous, like Kate, or with new horses as they are brought into my program. I believe in “The Cannon Method” and I hope get to work with Charlotte again!

Oh, Lady Nesta, how I’m so excited to have you! #itsofficial #madethedeal #welcometoKLE

“This is so much fun!! It’s awesome seeing all of the foundation training come together!” Brittney has been riding with me since April after only ever being on a horse once or twice for trail rides (in Utah!!!). She has been dedicated to coming every week and is really starting to see everything come together. I’m so proud of you Brittney! Thanks for joining me on this journey 🫶🏼🦄 Ps. If you need any DOG TRAINING, Dawg Boss is where it’s at 🐶

Kate is really coming into fine form! I’m proud of this gal!

Kate & I want to tell you guys about my favorite breeches! Use my code KLE to get 10% off :)

We competed at Gray Horse Farm for the second weekend in a row! Ella & Victoria brought home two more blue ribbons with great improvements in their work! They received a 68% for Training Level Test 2 & a 71% in Training Level Test 3! ✨🦄 When your husband has to double as a cameraman and a dad, you get some exclusive bts footage 😂

Training Level Test 1

It was a great day in the sandbox for Ella and Victoria. There was improvement from the first dressage show with excitement for more! They brought home first place in both of their tests with great scores of 70% in Training 1 & 63% in Training 3. Looking forward to another great show next weekend.

Ella and one of our adult students going around beautifully last week! Adriana came to KLE Equestrian wanting to work on her confidence and position in the saddle. She came to the right place! I believe position is EVERYTHING. If your horse is going poorly or acting out, I always look to the riders position. If you’re out of balance, then your horse will be too! We have to do our part in keeping our position and aids accurate so our partners can do their jobs successfully!
