Today was the start of Horsemanship 101!

This mornings session attendees had so much fun learning how to properly clean a stall, improving grooming skills, scrubbing a water bucket, watering and dragging a riding arena and why good footing is so important for your horse - John Deere Gators are sooo fun to ride in. The session ended with watching a world class veterinarian prep a horse for joint injections and riding Ruby - our loved lesson horse - ba****ck for the first time.

Horsemanship 101 is offered every Tuesday morning 9-noon through August. Think of it as horse camp focused on just horses without the afternoon craft session. The cost is $100 per session. Pm or text or call me at 414-531-2752 to sign up.

The WQHA is really pleased to add another clinician to our Spring Tune Up Clinic!
Jim Roth has been part of the horse industry for decades. He and his wife Joni have traveled the country with their business Roth Show Equipment. Jim has made custom halters and silver work for thousands of people. Jim and Joni have now retired but are coming to the Spring Tune Up Clinic to share some valuable knowledge.

First impressions count, and an ill-fitting halter makes a bad impression when you lead your horse into a halter or showmanship class. Jim will show you how to adjust a halter to fit correctly and frame your horse’s head to make it look its best.

Why do horseman who have been in the business a long time seem to have so many bits? Well, every horse is built slightly differently, and every rider uses his/her hands differently. Jim Roth will explain the uniques qualities of several bits and how to use them.

WE STILL HAVE SOME OPENINGS LEFT, DON’T MISS OUT! Please RSVP to Pat Miller.

It’s all about horse and being able spend time with them instead of being rushed through. This is a foundation of my lesson program.

How tight should a noseband be? How many fingers should you still be able to put in a noseband when tightened? What about the throat latch? Are the answers to these questions common knowledge among riders? Helena Stormanns, former international competitor and current trainer to some of the best show...

I judged a virtual horse show for Noelle Otto Weis and Creekview Riding Center yesterday. I had some printer issues and got off to a later start than I hoped but it all worked out and I had a great time. My ring steward was a bit of a slacker at times and needy at others but we had a great day. 🐶 Thank you everyone for participating.

Ready to judge the virtual horse show today for Creekview Riding Center. I even brought my own ring steward. 🐶🤗

Panella Show Horses stopped giving riding lessons before the Wisconsin Stay At Home order was enacted. I’ve received a huge amount of calls, email and texts inquiring about lessons. I feel there is no way I can safely give a lesson without coming within 6 feet of a rider. All my training clients have voluntarily opted to stay away from the barn which ensures mine and my staffs safety. Thank you everyone so much for all of your support and understanding during this difficult time. Remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel and if we all do out part we will be back in the saddle soon.
