My baby girl Daizy is learning about the saddle and is taking it in stride. Can't wait to start her and do more this year :)

Had another great liberty session with Carla and Captain today. They are really communicating very well and then had a great session with a haul in student and her lovely horse. Come on over and learn some liberty!

Carla and Captain had a really good liberty lesson today. It's great to see the growth and progress of this partnership. Carla is dedicated to practicing and it shows. To me, liberty is a language that we learn to speak with the horse based on body language and mutual connection. It's really cool to see when it begins to come together. You can enjoy a horse even if you can't ride! Liberty is a good way to spend time with the horse on the ground. Contact me with interest in liberty lessons!

Had a really fun lesson today with my awesome working student on the Egyptian Stallion. It's nice to see how a horses training has shaped up by having another rider take them for a spin. Also I love me a "good corner" well executed (see video) ;) Seeing the growth of the horses and students really makes my day.
I have a couple training stalls currently available and openings in the Academy. Please contact 480-290-1317

It's so satisfying when I see young students succeed and reach new levels of self-confidence and partnership with a horse. Makes me want to wake up the next day and strive for excellence once again๐

I've got some happy horses in my barn who work hard and play harder. This Andalusian goofball is Zultero and he loves water. Lovingly owned by Christine Gibson <3

Teaching beginner riders from ground zero is not something that I'd say most trainers like to do. It is hard work and it is tedious at times. It takes MUCH patience. BUT it is SO rewarding too! This is a young rider out of the roundpen for the first time. I know that our dedication--hers and mine is moving her forward, one session at a time. We can share in that success and growth together. Historically, I have made all my own riders, not taking them from other trainers. I've seen them from "never touched a horse" to "can train a horse to be better" typically in the span of around a year and a half. Yes, I'm proud of these things and the happiness and growth that I see in students, not just in horsemanship but in character growth. I may not been seen at the big shows (YET) and what I do isn't glamorous, but there is freedom in not having the pressure and still creating success <3

Want to connect with a horse but not ride? You may enjoy some interaction with a horse at Liberty. For one reason or another, riding a horse is not always an option but you can still enjoy horses and enrich their lives through a connection at liberty. Here is an introductory Liberty lesson featuring Carla and Amira. At these early stages of Liberty, the horse and human learn to communicate using body language and levels of energy while building a rapport. Contact me for more info on Liberty lessons <3

I had a fun week doing an intensive camp for some visitors to the area. My program involves techniques I've developed which result in accelerated learning. Seeing the confidence and knowledge gained through the 3 day intensive riding camp is so exciting and rewarding to witness. Do you know an adult or kid who is coming to visit and dreams of learning how to ride? Text Marissa Mendoza Performance Horses at 480-290-1317!
