Maddie 3yr old filly by Johnny Reb Jackson out of Dash for Perks mare.
This is Maddie’s second week out after some time off this winter. Super happy she’s grasping some of these concepts and finally starting some fun work. I will be glad when she can concentrate longer than a goldfish though! Here’s hoping 🤞 🤣😂
Maddie with Auntie Leigh Ann
Maddie is finally growing up! Auntie Leigh Ann Jackson jumped on her for the first time today. Can’t wait to see where she’s at in another month! She’s finally ready to start the fun work! ❤️🐎
Maddie coming along! First time in the scary indoor arena and after a month + off so she could grow but I got to pick up where I left off building on all the basics
I am so excited about getting this filly under saddle! This was her first time with it on and took Everything in stride!
These Sick By Design babies are sure getting the hang of everything! ❤️Redemption Hill Stables

Teaching Maddie some in-hand work making sure she stays nice and light. She’s getting there! ❤️
It’s not easy to video while working the horse but I was so proud of Maddie! She magically put all the things together after having a couple weeks off when I was sick. I can get her to come to me, stop, circle big/ little change direction.
I introduced teaching Maddie to lower her head on que.
So happy how well Maddie is progressing in her Liberty work!! Today I got circles and a change of direction!

With the case of the Zoomies! 🐎🤣
She’s getting to be such a good girl! She caring less and less about leaving her friends and starting to act like a big girl!
Maddie’s progressing well even with a ton of distractions today! Practicing patients is key to training young horses 😂 I could get circles both directions today and she’s looking for me sooner and sooner even when she does get distracted! 🎉
After softening up her nose I went through teaching Maddie to switch direction by moving her shoulders over.
Hopefully my coordination comes back soon so I can be a bit more fluid 😂🤣
I worked Maddie in hand today with step 1 of getting her to use her body is learning to soften and give her nose. I want her as light as possible and today was a good start!
This is the first time I took her to the outdoor where she can’t see her buddies but she did pretty good! I ignore the calling, that goes away when they gain more confidence.
This is day 2 with Maddie starting Liberty work. The first day was just starting /stoping and getting her to look at me. Day 2 and we can do small circles and introduced change of direction! She’s doing great! I am a bit rusty on using 2 whips in the Liberty work but I finally did the change of direction correctly and she got it! 😂
Maddie finally comes when I call her! I think she’s starting to like to get brushed 😂
