Equity Horsemanship Liberty horsemanship is a foundation for confidence, connection, and a willing partnership.

I teach horsemanship lessons, start horses of any age, and solve behavioural problems.

Put the ponies to work cutting back the grass in the alley between the paddocks today. I count 6 lawn mowers in this photo. The only one missing is Major because God forbid he get his little feetsies wet crossing the puddle at the hayfield gate. 😂

That time when your horse isn’t quite right, but you don’t know why…
The small trainer notices.

Who’s going to spend two hours with your two year-old every day to make sure they get a solid foundation?
The small trainer.

What about the horse who doesn’t have the strongest maternal lines?
It’s the small trainer that gives them a chance.

You’ve never done it before, but wanna give it a try?
The small trainer won’t judge you.

Who’s going to take an extra 30 minutes to make sure that turn is in a perfect place to end on?
The small trainer.

Who’s going to walk through the barn at 10 o’clock at night and lay eyes on your pride and joy themselves?
The small trainer.

Who’s going to do their very best to make your dreams affordable?
The small trainer.

Who will keep your horse liking their job?
The small trainer.

Who will try every trick in the book to pull every ounce of talent out of your horse?
The small trainer.

Don’t underestimate the small trainer.

Got a special guy looking for his forever home: CONCHO

Compact and well-built 14.1hh 10yo paint cross gelding with flashy color. Barefoot and sound as can be. Confident and good-minded thinker. Cute mover, would look great for dressage, jumping, obstacle sports or ranch riding. Current owner intended to make him a bridle horse but has had to bow out due to age and health concerns. Is schooling bridleless and obstacles with levee trail rides mixed in. More go than whoa but no buck or bolt. Lives out in a mixed mare/gelding herd and is a bit of a loner but friendly. Flawless ground manners, loads, ties, hobbles. I groom, tack, and trim his feet at liberty. No maintenance, easy keeper. I've been giving adult beginner riding lessons on him (photo below). Available to try in Laplace, LA. PPE welcome at buyer's expense.

7,### and will increase as I work and show him.

just blue dot things

I'm a horse trainer and dog groomer in a very red exurb of New Orleans. I have great relationships with my clients regardless of a variety of differences that are probably more apparent to me than to them. I honestly dont expect any reactions. Maybe some people will reexamine their assumptions. And maybe some will be less interested, but that's okay. But I LOVE this sticker and so does my farm truck.

I just really dig the aesthetic of my farm truck (technically a classic because it's OLD) out in the pasture with the ponies. It feels honest, humble, and productive. All things that I try to be, although I do struggle with the last one.

Joined back up with some production comrades from a previous life. My friend and neighbor runs a therapeutic riding center and I helped her lighting team bring some color to a lawn of massive oaks for her Christmas fundraiser. Just your friendly neighborhood horse trainer who can also program stage lights. 😉

We don't do processed/commercial feed at the Ranchito. All my horses eat as much grass/hay as they want, plus soybean meal with alfalfa pellets and whole oats as needed. That's it. I get their feed from a local (well, it's an hour away) independent co-op mill where they know me and I bring snacks for the guys who load up the truck. Life doesn't have to be as complicated as we make it.

This is Joan Jett. She is my shadow, my baby duck, and an absolute menace. When I got her as a yearling she was 90% untouchable, and now she won't leave me alone. ❤️

Not bad for my first time shooting in 15(?) years! Not quite ready to do it off a horse yet though.

My family visited the Ranchito for the first time ever! They jumped in on feeding, fixing fence, and mom rode along with me for a full day of teaching horsemanship lessons and grooming a couple dogs. This is the first time we've all been in the same place since 2019, and I'm honored that I could host. It means a lot that they've seen what I'm working on. ❤️

Let this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair.

-Mariame Kaba

Horse welfare should be at the forefront of horsemanship and horse sport. Every. Time. It's easy to give up and say it's always been done this way, or this is what wins ribbons so we have to do it. Don't do it. Set an example. Love the animal before the sport.
