I have been waiting a few weeks to give this one the proper introduction… Welcome Anna! The transformation she has made in such little time is outstanding! She still has a ways to go but so much improvement! 👏🏻

Unfortunately no placings. But I am happy with how CiCi handled the large classes, the busy warm pens and how well she listened. This is a big deal for her!

-Their ranch rail class was probably the smoothest I’ve seen them go by far. Their biggest show for both of them. Baby steps!

We took the new yearling, Spooks Chocolate Zip , to the show as well to hang out and get some exposure 🖤

We made a trip over to Florida Ranch Sorting practice today! It was really fun for us and im sure for the horses to get out to do something different like this. Ben and his partner even won the timed practice run 👏🏻 We will definitely be back for future practices and maybe some shows!

Reaper update! We are a wee bit over 30 days and he has improved so much. With my feeding regimen and training program, his body condition has improved significantly. Not everything has to be about riding, we have done a lot of groundwork to get him to just relax while working and start using his body correctly. He was traveling with his head just about as high as it can go and very stick figure like. I am slowly getting him to relax his head and neck.

Another fun, productive show with Lets Go Show in Ocala! Better late than never to share how it went.

I got the chance to cruise her in the $250 Open Showmanship and landed a 6th with her, we didn’t get much time to work on this but it wasn’t shabby! Cici has what I call horse show anxiety, she rode around great the day before and had a good handle in the halter classes but we have some homework to do for the riding classes. Regardless, I am still happy with Cici’s accomplishments at her first show with us.

Talk about a glow up for Kismet 🤩 Her weight, muscle, posture, coat, mane and demeanor has all improved so much! Good feed regimen and proper workout/training schedule has gotten her here. Sometimes I can’t believe it’s the same horse.

All the youngins got their trail ride in before they head home. Both have been ponied around the neighborhood and was ready for the next endeavor. Really happy with both their progress.

Haven’t shared some of Luke in awhile, but he’s been working hard at staying awesome 🤩

You become unstoppable when you work on things people can’t take away from you.

I saw this quote today and thought it was worth sharing.

It’s easy to get caught up in working on the more tangible aspects of your day-to-day life, but always remember that the greatest work happens from within.

Work as hard on yourself as you do your job, and you’ll never be lacking the tools you need to be successful.

Loping into Friday like… 🤩 Throwback to our weekend at WEC and Luke looking good as always

Luke

Haven’t shared some of Luke in awhile, but he’s been working hard at staying awesome 🤩

Jack

Jacks first day of saddle breaking camp

Rosie is getting back into the swing of things after having years off just sitting in the pasture. Back to work Ms. Rosie! She just finished her 60 days here - 30-40 days of ground work and the rest under saddle.

DW Suddenly Invited (Luke) trail go at Let’s Go Show LLC show this past weekend. Owned by Sheryl Baum, shown by myself. He has come so far in the time that he’s been in training with me. It only gets better from here. One minor gate issue in this pattern but overall it was smooth, relaxed and he was tuned in nicely.

Rosie

Who remembers Rosie’s temper tantrum on the patience tree the other week??? Well this is the outcome of standing tied to it everyday till she stands quietly. We finally have a quiet horse! Patience is a virtue

One of the biggest problems I see when working with people and their horses is that the majority of people have been trained to always look for the bad things their horses do. Because they’re always looking for the bad, they easily overlook the little tries and sometimes have trouble seeing the good in their horse. Reward the small accomplishments 👏🏻

Temper tantrums on the patience tree are popular here 🫣 Also, meet Rosie!

It’s really amazing what a horse will do for you if he understands what you want. And it’s also quite amazing what he’ll do to you if he doesn’t

Now that Clifford has settled and we’ve gotten to know each other a little, I’ve decided to start working on his feet issue. He has all fours shod, but we have no clue how. He won’t let you touch his legs to get his feet up, he strikes out or refuses to and plants those big feet of his. I tried working on doing this by hand but taking a hoof to the skull is not on my bucket list so I decided to rope his front legs today. This helped by staying out of his strike zone and get him use to something touching his leg to lift his foot. He has to learn to give to this pressure and relax his leg before he gets a release. You can actually see in the video where he gets that, he got a good release from me and a pat for it 😉 it took quite some time to get to this and it wasn’t easy, soft, kindhearted. He was jerking me like a rag doll and he knows it. Our job is to show these young colts (and fillies 💕) the right decisions to make and give them the opportunity to do so and learn from mistakes.

It’s always a great day for a trail ride ☀️ Kismets first day out and she exceeded expectations! Such a good girl.

Penny

Penny girl 🧡 she is still available!

Denali

Denali’s last week here after her 120 days with me. We are doing something that we have been working on a lot lately - working off a loose rein without gaining or losing speed and maintaining her own balance while staying in a circle. She wants the rider to aid her every step but she will never grow up mentally if we hold her hand the whole way. I only correct when I need to and then leave her be. When she goes too fast, I redirect her into a small circle which slows her pace down and gets her to refocus.
