The bestest Morgan

For many instructors, beginners are too frustrating. For some they are too far beneath them but for me, the beginner is the best way to help horses. I see each person that bravely steps into my world as a chance to improve the lives of many horses I may never meet.

I am thankful to the beginner for trying, for showing up, for wanting to do better, for loving the horse enough to struggle and fail and persevere over and over and over again.

The more beginners I can teach, the more miss information I can prevent from oozing into the world.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I wanted to give these boys a graduation gift as special as they are. These are my favorite "Better than Leather" buckle nose safety halters with brass hardware and a custom-engraved brass nameplate. I hope they help show off how wonderful these two horses are!

Thank you to Two Horse Tack for the "Better Than Leather" Buckle Nose Safety Halters, and thank you to Ocala Tack & Leather at Seminole Stores - 3 Locations for the custom engraved name plates!

Getting into a routine is usually efficient and necessary. Breaking out of the routine is thought-provoking, inspiring, and fun.

Every year, I end up teaching in the pouring rain at least once. It's a good opportunity for riders to ride ba****ck, and it's great puddle training for the ponies. It's character building for me 😄

National I Love Horses Day!!!

And I do love horses. I’m obsessed with these magnificent creatures. So much so that I moved across the country to live in the horse capital almost 10yrs ago.

Thanks to my deep love for horses, I get to work with the world’s top riders and trainers. My horses get easy access to the very best vets, farriers, body workers, saddle fitters, and more. There’s a tack store on every corner. Feed stores a plenty and of course many of the worlds very best competition facilities to help me reach my goals and to keep me constantly inspired.

Im so thankful for the opportunities and people brought into my life through horses and I’m deeply grateful for the horses that I meet and who continue to share their lives with me.

Long live this beautiful relationship between human and horse. And long live the horse, the kindest, most forgiving, and giving animal on earth…at least in my opinion.

So many wonderful people and ponies ❤️🦄

“Think about what the Olympic level would look like for every little thing." - Tik Maynard

Tik told me that 7 yrs ago, while we were working on something I don’t even remember now, but I've kept thinking about what the olympic level of every little thing would look like ever since.

What would the Olympic level of putting on a bridle look like?
Olympic-level of putting on the halter?
Olympic-level of standing in the cross ties?
Olympic-level of picking up their feet?

Just because it is good enough today doesn't mean it can't be better tomorrow.

There is always another level of good.

There is always an olympic level
at the walk
the trot
the canter
the gallop
the reinback
the halt
the jump
the groundwork
and everything before, after, and in between.

When you consider the ideal version, it is easier to see how you can make the task better and better.

Keep striving for the next level of good in everything you do with horses and with life. It will lead you to greatness. It might even lead you to the Olympics.

Nipping/chewing on stuff is usually anxiety or fear-related. Help them feel safe and help them understand.

Happy Horses, Happy life!

I always appreciate the work my students put into understanding not only their own behavior and biomechanics but their horses, too. Those two things go a long way towards helping horses become strong, balanced, and happy athletes.
