The wind howls
Icicles on the eves
Snow blows
Frost bites

A gentle nicker
The softest hair
Nuzzling my pockets
Asking for cuddles

Easy laughter
A cosy embrace
Filled with love
My heart is warm

Happy National Day of the Horse! With wind chills in the -20s today, I didn’t get to work horses, but I figured writing a little poem about my horse experience today would suffice🐴

I’m so proud of these two❤️

Arrow’s first time ponying another horse and Calista’s first time being ponied. Both were initially uncertain about this new position, but they looked to me and were able to relax with my guidance.

I hope to pony Calista out on the trails next summer, so we’re starting to build that foundation now. It’s also good for her to see me above her, and I’ll eventually start to lean over her from Arrow to prepare her for a rider. I don’t plan to start her undersaddle for at least another year, but it’s good to start preparing now, so it isn’t anything new when I do eventually ride her.

Arrow has some deep rooted trauma around other horses and used to flee for his life when another horse would get near him when humans were involved. I cannot overstate how huge it is for him to be able to pony another horse. It was also so rewarding to see all of the pieces we’ve been working on undersaddle fall into place and for him to be steady for me while I helped Calista understand where she was supposed to be.

This is also a small step toward an eventual goal I have with them, although it looks a bit different now than it will in the future. Maybe I’ll share more of that goal some other time, but for today, I’m proud of the progress we’re making and looking forward to our future🌅

Arrow’s training sessions have recently become less structured and filled with more curiosity, which has really helped us both!

We were starting to get into more advanced body control at higher speeds and were both getting tighter and tighter, both mentally and physically. I was nitpicking every little thing he did and he was growing more frustrated. It had started to feel like we were fighting each other instead of working together and I was feeling very burnt out from the effort it took.

So I took a step back and decided that we would do something a little different. Instead of asking him to do a specific movement, I’d ask for his shoulder to move a little, then his hindquarters. I’d ask him if he could move both together. How about more shoulder? More hindquarters? Maybe a little straighter? What if we take the shoulder the other way? And guess what? We have all of those movements I was working so hard to nitpick plus much more. I am only doing this at the walk, to keep things simple so I can support him easier and so we can both be more conscious of each footfall. He’s feeling much more relaxed and supple and I can tell there are moments that he’s really feeling good. During the 2 minute clip of us practicing this, he gently nickered several times and his expression, while focused, was soft.

We’ve also been working on some adjustability in his posture at the walk and the trot. Arrow tends to be all in…or all out. Previously, he’d stretch on his terms and tune out what I was doing. Alternately, if I asked for bend, he’d get very intense and tight. We’ve been playing with stretching on cue for a short period of time, then picking his posture up and bending, then stretch some more, and come back up. He’s becoming much looser and more adjustable without getting tight about it.

At the end of the video, you’ll notice we’re peacefully strolling around, my hand on his neck. While this may seem irrelevant to people who don’t know us well, this is actually very huge for him and I consider it one of our biggest breakthroughs. He used to push into me every time I’d try to touch him and he would even bite at me at times. Now, he softnens, often stretching(while mainaining awareness of me) and will usually sigh and blink deeply. It has taken a lot of time, awareness of his response, and awareness of my own intentions when I have contact with him to get to this point. It’s so rewarding to see all of the small things come together; to him so relaxed and peaceful❤️

I’m casually offering Everest for reassignment. He is a 4 year old from Muskrat Basin WY.

I gave him a soft landing from a sticky situation a few months ago with the intention to teach him some basic handling skills and find him a new home. Unfortunately, I’ve been very busy and just haven’t been able to be consistent. I can walk up to him and pet him, but am not able to halter him yet. I’ve touched him all over with a whip and can touch from his face to his hip with my hand. He’s still pretty much a blank slate and will require solid fencing. He seems very sweet and is curious, I can see him being a love bug in the future. He’s got a cute little trot and I can see him being successful at ranch horse shows.

Located in central WI, able to provide shipping anywhere. Asking low ###

That awkward moment when you realize your pony is taller sitting down than standing up🫣

🌊 Eddy 🌊

Eddy is an 8 year old gelding from Twin Peaks CA standing at 15hh. He’s built like a tank and can easily handle a bigger rider(I’m 6ft tall for reference)

Eddy is a sweet but cautious boy. He will take time to warm up to a new person, but is sweet and a bit of a goober when he gets to know you. He has very good ground manners; ground ties to be tacked up, lunges w/t/c, w/t in hand, soft backup, stands tied, picks up his feet, manuevers through gates, and has done some basic liberty work. His biggest flaw on the ground is that he can sometimes be a bit hard to catch. I believe this will go away with time, he’s just relatively new to being turned out to pasture and is figuring things out. Speaking of pasture, he’s been turned out with mares and geldings, he’s higher in the pecking order and flirts with mares but generally gets along.

He’s green undersaddle and has been ridden mostly in a rope halter or loping hackamore. He does now have several rides in a snaffle and I will continue to ride him in a snaffle until he goes home. He rides in the arena w/t/c and is more woah than go, although he occasionally gets a little wiggly due to being green. Hes been out on several trail rides and has done well, he’d be a great trail horse. I’d recommend a confident intermediate to experienced rider until he has some more miles on him, but I could see him carrying confident beginners in the future.

Located in Pittsville, WI asking 3,5xx negotiable. Videos upon request, they’re older, but I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get new ones. Please message me as I don’t always see comments.
