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.

LOTS of progress today thanks to some great friends! Got both the front and back roof done. Tomorrow we have to add some of the trim pieces, etc. (Yes I went on the roof and yes I scooted around on my butt the whole time).

We got half of the end wall put up Friday night. It’s really starting to look like a barn!

08/02/2024

Time to put the steel on!!! Looking for all the help we can get tomorrow and possibly Sunday! Anyone available and willing??

Work continues even in the heat! Yesterday Scott pulled out the old hydrant and put the new one in. This morning we worked on the roof. Well Scott worked ON the roof- I cut boards and handed them up.

We had our first LEVEL UP day today! Brighton and Saeli both passed their red & yellow horsemanship levels as well as their red HorseSense level! Super proud of them and all their hard work!! Katie and I had fun doing the testing and figured out a few ways to make it go a little smoother next time. Thanks for being our guinea pigs girls!

I have a photographer interested in doing mini sessions for students & their horses. Would anyone be interested? Probably just 20-30 minutes each. I don’t know details on price or dates yet.

Lessons will be posted TONIGHT at 8 pm

Working on lessons. When does everyone go back to school? How many home school kiddos or adults want morning/early afternoon slots during the week?

There have been quite a few improvements at Kyhlwood this month. New judges stand/covered sitting area, NEW ARENA FENCE- which has been needed for quite a while and newly painted jumps! I also included a sneak peak at our next (and biggest) project!! As always I have to thank my fabulous Kyhlwood family and my ever supportive husband. He is always figuring out ways to make my visions come true. One of the girls made a comment one time (on one of my million projects) that she didn’t know Scott loved the horses that much. He said, “I don’t love the horses. I love the person that loves the horses.” ❤️

07/23/2024

I did NOT get time to get lessons posted today as planned. Hopefully I can get them done tomorrow. I will plan on the website going live with August lessons TOMORROW at 8pm.

07/13/2024

Just a reminder that tomorrow’s show is postponed due to the heat!!
