Congrats Brittany Duarte on your free lesson in our Mother’s Day giveaway!! Happy Mother’s Day to all and thank you for those that participated!
Showing isn’t about just looking pretty on your horse the day of.
Showing is HOURS of preparation that never seem like enough.
Showing is observing and soaking in all the information you can and sometimes just watching other riders
Showing is grit
Showing is tenacity and knowing when to attack a pattern and when to have finesse.
Listen to your trainers. Talk to your trainers. If you don’t get it ask questions.
Showing is learning to appreciate the walk
You are now being judged at the walk. Good luck
It’s amazing what good nutrition and exercise will do. Hank was having a blast today!
You all!! I can not begin to express how happy this first week in the books has made me. I love coaching all of you. I am your listening ear. I still strive to be your safe place! We are the future of our youth and I want all of these kids to turn out to be good people more than anything and to make good choices. Imagine sending your child to learn the art of horsemanship but also have an instructor that validates their feelings and also is on team mom and dad if needed. No drama…gotta make the grades…have to be kind. It is about so much more than the horse 🩵🩵 thank you all for trusting me in your and their journey.
Due to life circumstances unfortunately I cannot keep Todd. 4 year old gelding. He will be a good gentle riding horse or I was going to train him up in Ranch. He just needs more time under saddle. No bucking or funny business just doesn’t know a lot. 16hh. Asking what I paid around mid fours. AQHA, APHA, and Pinto.
We are having sessions but keeping things fair!! 🩵🙌 hope to see y’all soon!
Callen not only got a pony for Christmas but a mini donkey! But he is truly a cowboy now! Welcome to the family Sugar!!
Anyone want to build my arena yet. I have broken hearted kiddos 😞
Can’t wait for the next season 🩵🩵🩵
Super proud of Addilyn! She is about 10 lessons in and started to lope on Ellie yesterday. It was her best lesson to date. Love watching these kids grow. She is such a sweetheart too!
Sometimes eyes on the ground does everyone some good. Krystle and Kenley are doing great! 💙💙
Had an eventful Saturday morning! You don’t have to ride to appreciate horses 💙💙

Update on our mud situation. I will keep everyone informed on Sunday lessons.
Whew…. Today was a muggy one. Horses were adequately rotated as needed to cool themselves.
Brandon is preparing for a mule back hunt in the fall and kindly accepted Ben as his horse for the day (sometimes Ben still gets confused). Kinlee got in one last lesson before the second half of her summer plans. She managed to trot a few strides today and I was so proud of her! Brielle worked Zing and told me she maybe/might love her and ride her next lesson. Paisleigh trotted for her first time today also and she LOVES to pick hooves! Ellie was in a mood today (stubborn). I then had Emma for a last minute ride with Goody before our next show and Amber riding Zing before the rain moved in. Zing needed more convincing her second lesson but Amber got it done!
Horses were very much sweaty by 8pm and I’m pretty exhausted myself 🥵
Up next…let’s talk heat, reschedules, and cancellations.
💙🤍💙I put A LOT of thought into Ben lately. Heck, I even listed him on the market. I found myself in a heart vs. logic situation. I found myself wanting to push a discarded halter horse away because I miss Ace. It is silly. We become so guarded when something hurts. Ben has this big goofy personality and gentle demeanor. He doesn’t want to hurt a fly. After about 20 rides I made the decision he was ready for his maiden voyage. He needed a kind student, a patient student, and someone with light hands. Lena was exactly who this big guy needed today. He will begin earning his keep and gradually take on more students. Thank you Lena for doing him justice and solidifying his future at Blue Line Stables 💙🤍💙 welcome to the club Ben!
