Teddy is a good boy above all else. He takes great care of his rider and is incredibly honest. He is a wonderful and capable trail horse!
He was shown in Ranch Riding and Extreme Cowboy Association all of 2024 with success. He handles hauling and new places calmly.
His potential is endless and he’s very versatile. While a lot of horses on his papers tend toward the ranchy side of things, he’s also got a lot of potential in Cowboy/Western Dressage, Mountail Trail, lower level Reining, Cowhorse and Cutting.
We have practiced roping the dummy, had lot of trail riding off site, tons of obstacle practice and also has been giving occasional lessons to beginner and amateur riders both young and further along in life. 😉
Additionally, Teddy can be ridden bridless by experienced riders, as well as one handed and neck reining, but also rides very softly in a mild snaffle bit.
His trot is floaty and smooth and he has a lovely extension and a really nice to ride and comfortable slow jog. His lope is a nice rocking motion and he easily lopes off from a walk or a trot with a super easy downward transition.
Teddy is a really chill guy that does not need ridden daily to maintain his training, especially when he is pastured. He does love a chance to run around and play and appreciates interaction with his person. He’s a super friendly guy to have in the barn and is a huge ham! A huge plus is that he is very organized in his stall, and is very easy to clean up after! Always goes in the same spots.
Teddy can is barefoot in the winter with his strong feet and I keep him shod in summer when hauling out for trails and on different surfaces at horse shows.
Teddy does have one vice: cribbing. As you can see it does not affect his overall health or weight. He does not crib with a collar on.

Horse shows are exciting, but they can also be stressful. Here are 5 tips to help you stay calm, focused, and ready to shine in the arena:

1️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲
Double-check your show schedule, pack your gear early, and map out your day to avoid last-minute surprises.
2️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴
If you feel overwhelmed, take a few deep breaths. Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts, and exhale for 4 counts. Repeat to calm your nerves.
3️⃣ 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹
You can’t control the weather or the judge’s decisions, but you can focus on your performance and your connection with your horse.
4️⃣ 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲
Surround yourself with positive people, and establish calming rituals like listening to music or spending quiet time with your horse.
5️⃣ 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀
Every ride is a learning experience. Celebrate progress and moments of connection with your horse, no matter the results.

Stress is part of the journey, but with the right tools, you can turn it into motivation. You've got this!

“First you go with them, then they come with you” - Is this true for you and your horse’s relationship or do you feel like it’s a struggle of wills each time you work with him?

Here at Krs Horsemanship, we believe that expanding your horse’s comfort zone by incorporating obstacles and changing terrain on trails is essential in his development as a safe and reliable equine partner. Our program is centered around creating confident and versatile horses.

A great reminder to always turn the snaps on your blankets inward for safety.

A very important reminder courtesy of the horse doctors at Miamitown Equine Veterinary Services:

"When securing blankets, make sure that the snaps/clips are facing inward, toward the horse! If they are facing out, they can easily become stuck on something, like the hay net in the picture."
