HAPPY NEW YEAR!🎊🥂
⬇️ This is my resolution! Whose goin’ with me? 🏇🏻🏇🏻

01/01/2024

On this last evening of 2023, I’d like to thank all my clients for your business this year! Whether it was through horse floats, breeding services, riding lessons or purchasing foals- We thank you so much! Here’s to a good year of friends, family, clients and horses!🥂

Once in a while my riding student brings her horse to my place (to be clear, her dad hauls it) for lessons. I ride Deacon while instructing her in the arena. I’ve mentioned before that she is a young teen, riding a cute little mare that only had 90 days training, so it’s been a bit sticky sometimes teaching her to ride, plus helping her reinforce the mare’s training. My student has come a long way though. She was a complete novice! She can post on correct diagonals and is learning the barrel pattern now. Today she asked if she could try loping her mare in the round pen. She’s never loped before. Now, this mare is lazy. She has also been ridden exclusively by a girl that still isn’t so brave and has only asked for a mild trot for the past several months. The mare was happy with this situation. I had my doubts. We went in the roundpen and asked the mare to move out. At a trot, turtles could out run her. I encouraged her to go by tossing a rope- nothing. Try and try some more, the mare would finally speed up her trot and the girl would stop her. It was a losing battle. I finally asked if I could try; the mare was becoming very confused. Long story short, after much encouragement and riding on a very long rein, she finally loped, slightly fearful, then more relaxed. Both directions we loped nicely and then without a whoa or pull, I sat deep and she came to a stop. It was a good lesson for horse and girl. She needed to see what her horse needed from her. I imagine I’ll do this again a few times at least to reinforce the lessons. I imagine the girl is digesting all this tonight. She dreams of being a good rider, barrel racing and going places with her mare. I like helping her, being an example, and seeing her smile at her accomplishments.
I’ll keep you posted on it all 🏇🏻😊

Deacon

You will almost always find within my arena a few circles, or figure 8s that I have ridden repeatedly. I’m asking for a bend in the body (soft curvature from poll to tail), easy cues, and no cheating on the circle pattern. Some horses come by this exercise easily, as did Deacon’s mother and grandmother, who I have posted some of their exercises before. But for Deacon, it takes patience and repetition. You can see my inner leg corrections through the bobbing of his head, as he two steps back into the pattern and finds his curve again. I’d like his head to be a little lower, but I am riding on a very soft rein. This isn’t nonsense training or play time pretending we are something fancy. I’ve found this exercise, which I often have a barrel or tub in the center to eye my distance by, teaches a horse to find its right path, “listen” to your leg, and not over react to the rein. I try to set my rein to how I want my circle to go, and allow my leg to keep them there- if needed. Deacon does ok. Not great, not terrible, but ok. I know it’s partly my fault as my right leg was much weaker than my left leg during the most of his younger years. Even now, my right leg pressure isn’t as good as the left. I used to school mine, and other’s horses daily. Now it’s hit and miss. I’m never finished training or schooling a horse. Each ride is a lesson. I just discover what’s needed that day, or needs repeated from one before. Deacon is the slowest horse I’ve ever trained- I’ve truly just taken my time. But as slowly as Jubilee’s training is going, he needn’t feel bad about it 😄

Deacon in the arena today.

Vid3/3. I brought a few things in to give Deacon some things to think about. The pole by the fence has pool noodles on it (he doesn’t care). I made a small jump for him up there also. It’s hard to see but there are poles laying in an “L” that I’m side passing over. He has to move his hind end over to complete them. And some collected loping. Nothing fancy, I just needed to ride today and wasn’t content with plain arena riding. I have a lot of obstacles outside the arena too. Deacon is a horse who gets bored with the “same ol’ schooling,” so it helps to make things a challenge, unusual, or give him something different to look at. This isn’t to show how good he is- he’s far from that 😂 but an example of easy ways to mix things up when you can’t get out and ride other places. I played with him a good hour or so doing different things with him, then rode around the hayfield and woods behind it. See the other videos below!

Deacon backing around obstacles

Vid 2/3 Giving Deacon some challenges. I’ve not asked him to back around things in a while. We did this many times, he loosens up with practice. Backing a horse doesn’t always need to be straight back- find out how easily your horse moves around, turns, while backing! The side passes were just an extra 😉 Deacon is a horse who gets bored with the “same ol’ schooling,” so it helps to make things a challenge, unusual, or give him something different to look at. This isn’t to show how good he is- he’s far from that 😂 but an example of easy ways to mix things up when you can’t get out and ride other places. I played with him a good hour or so doing different things with him, then rode around the hayfield and woods behind it.

Deacon- neck reining exercises.

Vid 1/3. I find different ways to break up schooling with my horses. This one is giving Deacon something to focus on with neckreining. Deacon is a horse who gets bored with the “same ol’ schooling,” so it helps to make things a challenge, unusual, or give him something different to look at. This isn’t to show how good he is- he’s far from that 😂 but an example of easy ways to mix things up when you can’t get out and ride other places.

It was a beautiful day to be riding Deacon in the woods. Never turn away a chance to jump!

My afternoon on Deacon.

Horses & Ball

Desensitizing horses in a fun way. I made this in 2011!

Deacon

🏴‍☠️🏇🏻 Yes, you can laugh at my makeshift “t-shirt flag.”😄 I use things that won’t ruin in arena dirt. Deacon seems tolerant enough, we’ve never carried a full size flag though. But look at that stop! He managed that a few times today with chunky Renegade boots on! Good boy Deacon!

Deacon

I took Deacon out on the 7 mile loop up from our place this evening. He was a bit frisky at the start, but settled in for the long haul in no time. I don’t know what he’s calling this little gait he created, but it was a cute tippity-tap sitting trot that was fine with me! 🏇🏻😂

Jubilee

Practicing simple lead changes with Jubilee.

Evening ride

I needed some ride time to make my day complete. Deacon obliged me with a little bareback trotting. He’s my good goober. My arena still needs groomed. We’ll get there- it’s still soft.
