Rockin Reegan Horse Training

English and Western are just lables. At Rockin Reegan Horse Training I believe a good relationship between a horse and rider starts from the ground up.
(15)

A mutual respect is created by doing solid groundwork that consists of a combination of sensitizing and desensitizing exercises. Once I begin riding a horse I build on the softness and responsiveness I started on the ground. I strive to help an owner understand how, when, and why I utilize different exercises with their horse to build a healthy working relationship between them. I grew up with a m

other who did 3 day eventing and a lifelong cowboy father. This gave me a background with fundamental knowledge of several different English and Western disciplines. Watching my parents combine their knowledge to train horses taught me there is no one single way to get a job done and to approach every horse like the individual they are. This has lead to a passion to continue learning and bettering my skills as a horsewoman.

Teaching an owner how to execute skills with their horse to establish clear communication is an important aspect of my training program
In their first lesson, we covered roundpenning, lunging, and one rein stops at a walk and trot

Most interesting encounter I've had with coyotes while on a trail ride
One coyote repeatedly attempted to draw out my 2 dogs while another 3 coyotes watched from a distance.
Both of my dogs stayed fairly close to me and the horse I was on the rest of ride.

"What is the bravest thing you've ever said?" asked the girl.

"HELP." replied the horse.

Rey has been with her new owner for 1 month. Lisa has been working her on the ground desensitizing and building strength.
Even after a month off from riding, Rey remembered all the basics and feels ready to go on to a performance horse trainer.
I can't wait to visit her in a few months and see her excelling doing what she was bred to do!

Playful Reys☀️

Started walk,trot,lope in the arena and on the trail.
Would be a perfect cutting or cow horse prospect for someone who would like to finish her under saddle themselves, but is athletic and talented enough to also go into an a top-tier training program.
Papers include Playgun, High Brow Cat, And Freckles Pl***oy
Her grandsire on the topside, DUEL REY, is the NCHA #3 All Time Leading cutting sire and NRCHA #6 All-Time leading sir.
Enjoy her under saddle now and breed her later ~ So many possibilities for this neat mare!

☆Problem Solving: REARING part 1
I could have just got on and hoped for the best.
Instead I broke the problem down into small steps and addressed the issue every step of the way.
After roundpenning and lunging, I established lateral bend from the ground. Once she stood still with her neck bent and nose to her belly, I released pressure.
Next I put my foot in the stirrup followed by standing up in the stirrup on her side and waited till she stood still with her neck bent to her side.
Once I had a leg on both sides of her body, she immediately wanted to pull her head away in order to have the power to rear.
I remained calm and asked her to simply bring her nose back to her left side, once she did I released pressure.
I finished the session when she straightened her neck, remained still and gave again laterally.
That is the difference between training and just being a crash test dummy.

When starting c**ts, I always sit on them ba****ck long before I sit on them undersaddle.
This filly named Dallas is a classic example of how c**ts I start handle this for the first time.

Been so busy working horses, I haven't had a chance to post more videos of starting Gunner the stud c**t.
Here are a few highlights from his 2nd ride undersaddle😁
Gunner is a great example of how great breeding and owner handling make for a fairly simple starting process for a trainer.
Truly a pleasure to be working with such a solid minded boy!

Up close look of coaching Barb on her arab, Ivan both in the arena and on a trail ride in the desert.
Simply put the goal is to use inside rein pressure and application of the inside leg aid to gain

-bend throughout the body
-shoulder control
- vertical flexion
-impulsion
-collection

English and Western are just labels.

Quick baby moment at the beginning but overall Gunner was willing and confident.
Worked on creating bend in his neck paired with disengaging his hind end.
Then I began to ask for forward steps rather than lateral.
He is super smart and just needed a lil encouragement to help establish a gas pedal at the end

Here is a short clip of me working with Kash who has been known to kick when asked to pick up his back feet.

Doin groundwork with a mule, giving a jumping lesson, and taking clients for trail rides all between taking my 2 boys to and from school and baseball. It was another busy Friday as a single mom and horse trainer😊

English and Western are just labels.
The basic classical riding form should be maintained no matter what saddle you are using.
Riding is riding.
Balance is balance.
Collection is collection.
Extension is extension.
Just as the classical riding form is maintained across disciplines, the principles of a solid training foundation are the same no matter the intended discipline of the horse

Absolutely love watching this team work!💙❤
Throughout their training, I have made it a priority to ensure that Toby and Jenna enjoy the show ring.
For Toby, we do our best not to apply excessive pressure at the entrance gate and we make it a point to release pressure in the show ring when possible.

For Jenna, I have always told her that her first goal is to simply stay on her horse. After that I give her 2 or 3 tasks to focus on and make little improvements each round. By her last round of the show, I told her that she knew what to do and to just have FUN! 🤗
My heart swelled as I watched her and Toby smoothly execute the tighter turns, turn the 4 stride line into a 3 stride, and jump blind into the sunset.😊
⭐💫For them both, the show ring is their place to have fun and truly shine a light on the trusting partnership they share.

Got a lil western with #cherrythemustang . We hit a small roadblock with less than 5 rides undersaddle. . While Cherry had been mostly receptive to training with me, her tendency to choose flight when she perceived too much pressure, remained a challenge. . Consistency is key as I guide her to think through uncomfortable situations and find relaxation and release. . #rockinreeganhorsetraining #mustangsoftiktok #coltstarting #HorseTraining #ConsistencyIsKey

Be sure to check out all the videos of this mare's transformation . She no longer felt she needed to be defensive, after an incident where she was over pressured, I was able to help her relax again undersaddle and to show a glimpse of her previous barrel racing career. . #rockinreeganhorsetraining #horsetraining #rearinghorse

And we're trotting! . #KnoxtheQH 2nd ride undersaddle . #rockinreeganhorsetraining #horsemanship #horsetraining #coltstarting

At the end of the week 1, #knoxtheQH was comfortable with me riding him bareback and taking more relaxed forward steps Even with the added pressure of the wind, a tense moment was short lived Although previously saddled, I made sure to check and fill in any gaps to ensure a solid foundation. #rockinreeganhorsetraining #coltstarting #horsemanship #horsetraining #startingcolts

Though not always my first choice, treats prove beneficial for tense horses. They encourage neck bending and reinforce pressure release, while also promoting natural tension relief through licking and chewing. . For #cherrythemustang an added element of difficulty was that she'd rather avoid face touching altogether. However, this mare is extremely smart and quickly paired the concept of taking the treat from my hand with the release of pressure. . #rockinreeganhorsetraining #Cherrythemustang #coltstarting #positivereinforcement #deserthorsetrainer

#capcut_edit #southernevadahorsetrainer #rockinreeganhorsetraining #southernnevadadesert #desertmountains

Clear communication is paramount to develop respect and trust. . Past experiences with other trainers taught this mare that explosive reactions led to a release of pressure. With me, she's learning to look to the human for guidance rather than rely on her response of flight. . #rockinreeganhorsetraining #cherrythemustang #horsesafety #trailerloading #coltstarting

This close call while loading a new horse, served as a reminder of the importance of caution. Here's to continuous learning and safer precautions in the future!🐴 . #rockinreeganhorsetraining #trailerloading #cherrythemustang #AlwaysLearning #horsesafety
