I love the woah my boy has🥰👌🏻
I’m sure some of y’all have seen this trend going around, I just had to do it. They did not disappoint 🤣🥰 (I forgot to change my tik tok name before posting this, all new videos will have my updated name!)
The newest little guy in the training barn ❤️ meet Walker. he’s not here for anything special, just needs some handling and trust gained! He was supposedly broke to drive, so after some time we will see what he’s capable of, but for now, just time to give him some love🥰
We got to get together with a previous client of mine to practice some before miss Bristol went home! I was so proud of her. I kept forgetting to post any of these!
Another fantastic evening with Bristol 🥰 don’t mind the tail swishing, I promise it was just bugs.🙏🏻 I sprayed her and they still wouldn’t let her alone 😩 I think we’re finally comfortable, just need to become consistent💪🏻
And we are SOLO! We still need to build some confidence, but I have zero complaints. Proud of this girl!! 🥰 full start to current progress video coming soon!
What’s that?! I’m driving Bristol?! 🤩🤞🏻 lead rope for “just in case” but I’m so glad we had our breakthrough!
Driving Bristol without driving her! 😉 it’s easier to stop a panicky driving horse with 2 feet on the ground (just in case! Bristol has been doing fantastic, but this was the first time with the full driving effect and you just never know! I’ve flipped out of a cart before from a spooked horse, it’s not fun!), so I had my lovely boyfriend sit in the cart while I ground drove behind her to give her the effect of being driven, but with more control. She did fantastic!
We’re hitched! She took to it so well. Hopefully it’s finally clicking! 🥰
Progress! 😍 I hope to have it actually hitched to her this weekend.
We played more “touch” tonight but made it more complicated. I made her search for it, and as soon as she found that green crop, she led me to it. In the one video, I let her loose and she figured it out. You can see the moment in each video that she finds the crop, and thinks about what she is supposed to do. Talk about smart. I love this mare!
Walking over the yoga mat!
I also love how responsive Merrylegs is getting. Tell him to walk, he walks. Tell him to woah, he stops. Without rein! Fun little guy.
Merrylegs is coming along well! We’ve been venturing outside lately. 2 more weeks and he gets to go back home!
What an improvement! Before, when asking for any give or move, this pony thought the right response was to push all of his weight plus some back into me. Whether I asked for forward, back, sideways, or for a hip or shoulder to move away from me, he did the opposite plus some. I still have to give a little extra motivation with going side to side, but a little touch with my knee and he goes. His willingness made my night!
These clips are only a few days apart. Love seeing progress. This pony came to me green broke needing a refresher, however, he had no foundation. So I am trying to get him trusting and confident. Look at the calmness in the last 3 clips compared to the first two!! Coming along 😍🥰
Gotta have fun once in awhile! Had to make a tik tok with my bestest little man ❤️
