Cooling off after a good workout.
Fridayโs Walking session was lots of fun.๐ถโโ๏ธ๐ด
After a little warm up walk we offered our horses to release some tension through a relaxed state during some stretching and massaging. Shadow loved it and Shelby was able to show us some obvious responses to the release. ๐ค๐ค
Afterwards we worked on directive leading over ground poles. All of the horses did really well. This is a great way to condition a horse, show some leadership skills your horse wants and needs and as a bonus itโs something to do during the winter months. ๐ด
Be creative! Do something!! Your horse deserves your very best try.
Everyone is tucked in for the night. With the rain coming I decided they would sleep inside tonight. Of course everyone gets a little treat. ๐ด๐๐ค
I am not much of a treat giver but I do feed treats once in a while in their feed bowl. I rarely hand feed as I prefer that my horses never expect there to be treats in my hand or a childโs hand.
It may be a little thing but itโs important when you run childrenโs educational programs out of your farm.
This is Bambiโs second attempt at the water obstacle. ๐ฆ๐ฆ
Notice her lowering her head to get a better look as I just breathe and wait on her. She knows I wonโt rush her. She quickly realizes itโs safe and knows I wonโt let her down so she walks in and thinks oh I like this.๐ดโฅ๏ธ
Great things happen through a partnership. It takes time, sometimes a lot of time but when they trust you the sky is the limit. ๐๐๐
First shot at Liberty with two horses. So much fun!!
โWELL HELLOโ
Hard to believe this is the same little horse that did NOT want to be caught. I love to see the changes. She has come a long way.
The ๐ด๐ด๐ด are all tucked in. Sedona says goodnight. ๐ค
Here is a happy stalled horse tonight. Itโs just nasty and wet outside and I think Bambi is thankful for indoor dinner tonight.
What to expect to see when you arrive at Carolโs Corral. Currently offering Barn Time and Horse Fun Days coming this summer. ๐ด๐ค
Putting some miles on Miss Sedona today. If you want them broke you have got to put the time in. Hoping to get her camping this summer.
Little Miss Sedona is really hooked on me. I canโt wait to do some more Liberty training with her this spring. This afternoon she seemed to be asking to play.
Ellie learning to Stay and Come
For many years I have had the privilege to work with Ellie. Thank you Kelly Mele-Williams for trusting me with her. I am so proud of how far this mare has come. I knew she would do great things if I could help her to learn to relax. With a lot of time and effort she has exceeded all of my expectations and the sky is now the limit. We have now started some Liberty training and we are both having so much fun.
I would have never guessed Sedona would be an in your pocket kind of horse. Lol but here she is killing it. It was just what I needed today.
