I think I have the website fixed and HorseSense is posted through the end of December! Due to the weather we are trying to get caught up on make-ups. If there is a nice day here or there we will post about lessons/trail rides but (with the exception of lease students) lessons are pretty much on hold for the winter.

Also I figured out how to post gift certificates on the website! I have one posted for a private lesson but can also post specific amounts as well. Great present for the rider in the family! People can get in contact with me if they want a different amount!

HorseSense is posted for December! It looks like the whole first week of December is going to be make up lessons for when I was sick and when we've had to cancel due to weather. Going forward I will post lessons on a weekly basis for the following week weather permitting. My plan is to post every Thursday evening.

I am currently working on the November schedule! Please let me know if you are interested in semi-privates (not available to beginners or new students). Lesson slots will be limited due to short days; semi-privates seem the best way to get everyone in.

Sorry I’ve been absent! It’s been a crazy busy fall! Will try to get posts up to date but for now here is one of the newest members of Kyhlwood Training. just got done with a dental and is walking it off with me in the parking lot.

FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS!

-I have had a lot of people asking about why we didn't have semi-privates available in October. Unfortunately people were so inconsistent about signing up that we actually lost money on semi-privates. I am willing to try having them again next month but you will be required to sign up for the entire month. For example if you are on Monday at 4pm you will have to sign up for every Monday of the month. Please contact me with days/times that you would like. There will be very limited times after school due to short days.

-Due to lack of signups group lessons will be finished for the year at the end of October.

-We will having one Play Day show in November. We haven't set the date yet but it will be ALL fun classes/relay race type classes.

-HorseSense lessons will start next month! Can people that are interested let me know what evenings would absolutely not work for them? I will so my best to make sure that we can get everyone accommodated! For those that don't know HorseSense is the ground work & knowledge portion of our new learning levels curriculum.

I just love this pony. would like you all to know that he has more to offer than walk-trot lessons 😂. He is definitely the most versatile lesson pony I’ve ever owned. Helps when he’s ridden so well too!

Working on the September schedule!

With the number of kids currently in lessons and the amount of available daylight outside of school it's a bit of a crunch.
Because of this we are going to offer semi-privates to anyone willing. There WILL still be privates available once I get the semis plugged in. Those will be scheduled around the semi-privates and the website will go live tomorrow at 7.

I am asking that anyone interested in semi-privates (2 kids, 1 hr, $50 each) please let me know your day/time preferences (give me at least a couple options) so I can pair kids up with those who I think will work best together.

If you have a specific partner in mind just let me know who, especially if it is a carpool situation!

I feel this to my core. I’m so devastated for my horses that have to carry the kid that doesn’t want them. And yet they do it happily because I’ve asked them to.

A small stab in the heart is what you feel when you put up the day's riding list and you see riders sinking heavily in their shoulders when reading which horse they are assigned for the lesson. A small stab in the heart for that horse that for an hour will carry around a rider who has already decided that he does not like his horse. A small stab in the heart for the horse that did not choose the rider himself but still does his best, lesson after lesson.

Riding is a privilege and something you have chosen to do. If you chose to ride at a riding school, your instructor assumes that you actually want to learn how to ride. The instructor's highest wish is that you get good at it.

Often there is a plan and a thought as to why you are assigned to that exact horse. Before you mount up next time, ask yourself "what can this horse teach me today?" All horses have something to give, a feeling or a new tool in the box.

The art is actually in being able to get a lazy horse to move forward, to get an uncertain horse to gain confidence, a naughty horse to focus or a tense horse to be released. It takes work. If you think a horse is boring, it's more likely that you don't ride the horse as well as you think! It's not easy to be confronted with your own shortcomings, but it is in that very situation that you get the chance to truly grow as a rider.

The excuse that "it's not my kind of horse" is actually a really bad excuse. A good rider can ride any kind of horse. A good rider has trained many hours on different types of horses to become a good rider. A good rider can find and manage the gold nuggets in every horse.

If we absolutely want to ride, it is our duty to strive to do it as best as possible, even if it's only for fun. We owe it to every horse that carries us upon it's back.

Copied and shared with love for all of our horses, ponies and riders 🐎❤🐎

SHOW THIS WEEKEND IS CANCELED.

I currently only have 4 people signed up for show prep on Friday. Please get signed up or let me know if you are coming. If only 4 riders are planning to show it will be canceled.

Next dressage/jump show is next weekend! Make sure to get signed up for show prep or contact me about classes so I can assign horses and work on the schedule. Our NEW dressage class will be the swap class. You have to ride your partner’s horse in a solo test and they will ride your horse/pony. Your 2 scores will be added together and you will be placed accordingly. We are still having the Pas De Duex class as well.
