Wally jumped a fabulous clear round for our outing at Poplar Place Farm on Saturday 🥳 while we still have a ways to go getting our dressage skills back on track, he feels stellar getting back into things and I’m so glad to have my favorite jumping bean back in action!

XC school
Perfect guy for a quick XC school before we head to Pine Top Thanksgiving HT this weekend 🥳
I’m just gonna leave this here… Sure is a good thing we don’t “deal in the level of horses” that require us to stop treating them like horses. You just keep diggin that hole sir 🤙🏽 #noclass #badinfluence I’d call him a horseman but that would be disrespectful to the rest of us.
Here at Molena Horse & Cattle Co and Ethos Equine we’re all about being efficient in our fitness work 😉
Really what that means is having some great saddle horses and more importantly horses that lead super duper well!
Does your horse lead as well as Jack and Iris?

Wally
It’s been such a privilege seeing this horse change, slowly over the years, both mentally and physically. Wally was kind of a late bloomer, the first photo being from 2021, at his first little arena eventing experience when he was 5 years old. The second photo was this past Monday and now, as an 8 year old, nearly a hand taller, several girth sizes bigger, it seems he’s finally grown into himself and it was certainly worth the wait 🩵A lot of Purina feed, some great supplements, thinking outside of the shoeing box with EasyCare Inc. Protective Hoofwear, plenty of good horsemanship, and miles of terrain covered, go in to getting where we’re going 🤩#tappinthekeg #ottb #wally #ottbsofinstagram #transformation #horsemanship #3dayeventing #compositeshoes #ranchhorse #doingourbest #growingup
Baldr
It’s so cool to have a colt come in for starting and have them around long enough to become your go to when there’s a job to be done! And better yet to have them enjoy the job!
Baldr has been a fun experience and turned into quite the little hand around here, I’ll be bummed to see him go home soon, but glad to know he’s got the skills to be a solid citizen for his person.

Iris
Iris is getting out and seeing the sights! She ventured out into the cows today with the help of Kristi Heredia’s, Baldr, and they both handled their jobs like pros🤙🏽

Feeding time
Tell me again how all horses get worked up at feeding time, it’s just what they do 🤔
Six geldings of different ages, breeds, and backgrounds, who live out 24/7 and get fed at about the same two times everyday, took about 3 minutes for them to eventually make their way down to their buckets after they watched me park the gator and unload the grain. Three of these horses had anxiety surrounding feeding time when they arrived, all three have changed.
FEEDING TIME DOES NOT HAVE TO BE CHAOTIC
*steps off soap box*

Baldr
What is this madness!? Pushing cows… on a fjord… in a jump saddle…😳 we’re breaking all sorts of societal norms around here 😂

Ranch Fjord, anyone?

Kristi Heredia’s Baldr really impressed this weekend! We needed a third horse to doctor calves yesterday so I pulled this little guy out for what would be his first job. He started out a little unsure of all the extra energy but he never said no and only got better as the day went on!
Crossing draws, pushing bulls, running down wayward cows, we gave him a job to do and he was all for it, really proud of this colt🤙🏽
