CL Remember Me!

Affectionately known as Remy has gained a few new riders as they step up their skills and other riders are effectively riding her the way she needs to be ridden ❤️

She’s sensitive, forward, wants to be crooked…. Yet she’s so fun and so good minded that she allows riders to become more self aware of their body and communication skills…

Those who know her love her too much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's a great time to go back to the basics. Is your foundation strong? “Don't overlook the basics. Don't ignore the foundation. How long can a tree remain standing without the roots?” - James Clear

Brie Yhlen hosted her first schooling show at her own Caboray Ranch and we couldn’t have been happier with the facility, the fun, and the wonderful experience it offered to the group of riders and horses I brought!

It gave the horses and riders a wonderful opportunity to practice or show off what they have been working on at home!

To be proud of all of them is an understatement. I’m most proud of their commitment and their attitudes!

It was a an amazing experience for all!

Canyon Lake Farm will be hosting its own schooling show on Dec 15th!!!

This is why your turn does not come from pulling on the rein. Note the riders hand and leg position and hip angle in each sketch. Note the development of the horses muscles in each sketch. Note the shape of the horse in each sketch. A truly supple, truly bent horse is working through their entire body. It is OUR job as the rider to guide the horse to become soft, supple, and through in all movements.

Rider one is pulling the nose around, and trying to push the haunches in, with a following outside rein offering the horse no balance, and a hardly supportive inside leg to wrap around. This has created a rigid, stiff horse that will surely be back sore, weak in the hind end, with front end bulk in all the wrong places. This horse has every opportunity, and will likely be so uncomfortable that it will try every time, to run out of his right shoulder.

Rider two is pushing the horse from his inside leg to his outside rein. The outside rein is providing a balance point for the horse, allowing him to be both comfortable and willing to carry himself. Because the riders rein is supportive and blocking the shoulder, the horse can not blow out the shoulder, and can only become truly bent along the entire length of the spine.

In order to build the athlete you want, and to allow your horse the opportunity to have a long, successful, and most importantly SOUND career, it is important to understand how we ride, even in seemingly simple tasks such as the walk or trotting circles, is effecting each muscle in your horses body. Not all muscle is good muscle!
