ROMAN
“DD Two Eyed Frostie”
Head horse, trail horse, family horse, english horse, trick horse, and more!

2020 Bay Roan AQHA Gelding
16.1 hands tall
1200 pounds
Great grandson of Sunfrost
Great grandson of Two Eyed Red Buck
Other big names on his 5 generation pedigree include the following: Two Eyed Jack, Mr Baron Red, Shining Spark, Doc Bar, Red Man, and Driftwood Ike.

Roman is a tall drink of water with a personality that will make you laugh every time you pull him out to ride. He will get you noticed everywhere you take him! Roman is as bomb proof as they come, and has a level of chill that everyone loves. He is a package deal that you won't find very often! Roman is an EVERYTHING horse! Team roping, english riding, trail riding, performing tricks, and more!

Roman will happily set a nice pace at the front of the group on a trail, or easily slow down for the pokey horses at the back of the group. He crosses water and logs easily without any fuss. He will ride easily in a snaffle and an english saddle, or ride in a correction bit and tie-down for roping. He has been started slow and correct on the head side, learning on the dummy and slow steers, and is ready to finish out your way. He should be ready to jackpot on in a few short months with the right person. He is a push-style roper, but easily grabs the gear you want. He is quiet in the box, and will wait all day for you to ask him to come out of the box. He sides up to a mounting block for you to get on, and bridles easily. He can also do a few tricks, like put all four feet on a pedestal, and sit in a bean bag. He is willing and happy to try anything you ask of him.

He has had his teeth done, is vaccinated with a 5-way plus West Nile vaccine, and has had Quest Plus dewormer this spring. He has been shod every 8 weeks, with his shoes being pulled in the winter, and a full set was put back on this spring. He does well in a group pasture setting or in a stall or paddock. He is fine being at the bottom of the pecking order in the pasture and is very non-combative. He has a goofball personality and loves physical affection.

An ideal home for Roman would be a family who wants a horse the whole family can ride. Put the kids or a beginner on him on the trail, take him to jackpot ropings, rodeo with him, dabble in some english riding, take him branding, use him for a pack/hunting trip, teach him tricks, and more. Roman absolutely loves kids, although I wouldn't put a kid on him for speed events quite yet, due to his young age.

If Roman seems like the horse for you, please reach out with any questions. Roman has been treated like family while he has been in training at J Family Equine for the past year, and we are hoping to find him the right person or family as his forever home.

A N H O N E S T H O R S E

I've heard people say over the years that they want an honest horse. From their description, what they wanted was an obedient horse without any funny business that wasn't bothered by much. But is that really what an honest horse is? I don't think so, and I am here to share the thought that obedience does not equal honesty.

Being honest is defined as: "free of deceit and untruthfulness; sincere." To me, an honest horse is one that will let me know how they feel. It is a horse that won't hide things from me because they feel unsafe with me. An honest horse is one that hasn't been taught to be dishonestly obedient by humans and for humans.

The truth is, most people who say they want an honest horse don't actually want an honest horse, particularly an honest, feely horse. The honest feely horse will get punished when they react to something silly. The honest feely horse will be told to stop showing those inconvenient and stupid feelings. Horses are seekers of safety, so they will hide their feelings, because that is safer than showing them. But with a feely/sensitive horse, they will eventually have too many sensitivities and triggers will stack until the lid blows on their carefully crafted bottle of shutdown feelings. These are the horses that fail out of performance programs. These are the horses that tend to be labeled as "problem horses." But had we actually taught them to manage their emotions instead of shut them down, they might not have become the problems we turned them into.

To get a feely horse to return to honesty, and become emotionally resilient, we must allow them their feelings, while teaching them the skills they need to manage those feelings. Allowing them their feelings doesn't mean we allow them to live in fear and anxiety forever, it means we support them by helping them find a better response. It means we teach them that all of the "feely" is welcome, and that we will help them through it, not get mad at them for it.

I am currently helping a very feely reined cow horse to learn how to manage his sensitivities. He is beginning to come out of his shell, and show me more of his big feelings. Some people may see this as a bad thing, but I see it as honesty. When he is open to showing me how he feels, I can show him how to find safety. I can be his support system that guides him through the learning process.

I love helping horses like Gus, because I get him.
Because I am him.
And shutting it down never worked for me either.

I won't be one to tell you that there isn't a place in the world for a shutdown horse who functions well through their shutdown. But feely horses are not that type. Another trainer once told me that there are two personality types in horses: warriers and flowers. Your warrier types function well through shutdown. Your flower types will not function well as a shutdown horse. And this is why they fail out of high-demand training programs that encourage shutdown.

If you want your horse trained by someone who can help your horse have the tools they need to be a well-balanced individual, please send me a DM and let's chat about getting you and your horse working together with me.

Much of my client and friend list overlap, so many of you may already be aware of this, but I will give a quick update for those who are unaware.

One week ago, my 9 year old daughter got a grade 4 spleen laceration from the saddle horn hitting her as a horse over-jumped a ground pole. She was ambulanced from our local ER to Primary Children's hospital where they took amazing care of her for almost 4 days. She is home now and working towards recovery.

Professionally, I have been very unavailable this week, for understandable reasons. Moving forward, life looks a little different for my family, as her injury can take roughly 20 weeks to fully heal. During this time, I ask that my clients give me some grace in the moments where my daughter's needs come first. I don't foresee it affecting my business and availability too much, but would appreciate your understanding during this time.

Thank you all for your love and support!

Post-ride selfie with my girl Zaya. This makes ride #6 as a saddle horse 🥰

If there is one thing I have learned as a trainer, it is that timelines never go as expected. I was hoping to have a few more rides under Zaya's belt at this point, as I will be taking her to a Warwick Schiller's Attuned Horsemanship clinic this month, but she ended up with a stifle soreness that needed her to take a break for a bit, and then I had minor surgery, which made us take a few weeks between rides. Ride #6 picked right back up where ride #5 left off. 🥰 We spent a few sessions of groundwork between ride 5 and 6 to make sure both of us were feeling ready for a ride again, and I am so glad we did! We filled in a few groundwork holes that helped Zaya feel much more involved in the conversation, and eased both of our minds, keeping us out of the "should be" and back into the present.

I sure love this dream filly of mine! ❤️
