The youngins had a good day yesterday! Apache got some good loving and a much needed bath. He is such a good boy and treats his riders with such care. Spirit is covered for the next month with hay! We are switching him over slowly to Brome hay! Starting to make some transitions for the future ❤️

Today was a good day! Completed a lesson today! Hoping things dry up more next week for a bigger area to ride! And Spirit and Dakota got a bath today❤️❤️ hopefully this shampoo can help with the bugs!!

Two amazing lessons today!!! These girls did an amazing job on understanding what I asked of them.
Mila was a little scared but by the end she was so confident and very happy with herself!
Today’s focus, Balance and stability! They knocked it out of the park!
Good Job to Mila and Olive!! So proud of you and excited to see what you can do next!

Worked with Bo yesterday! He was a good boy, didn’t get too frustrated at me this time. We worked on connecting a little more yesterday. He likes to trot around the round pen with his head pointed out so we worked on gaining connection by changing directions with minimal cues. He did great after a few times. He is a little dead on one side so we worked on that a lot. He is a smart boy and caught on real quick. We are trying to get him to a point where a little girl can ride him with no problems ❤️

Created a new horse crazy girl today! Say hello to Mila!! She learned so much on her first day. Such a super star and quick learner. We definitely went over on how to control our breathing and stopping when things get a little tough! It happens sometimes! But we are here to build up courage and confidence! She did so well with making full turns both directions, stopping, and putting her stirrups back on in case they slip off! She started with tension and stress and left with such smiles and confidence. Makes me so happy. HAPPY CORE MEMORY ACHIEVED!!! I can’t wait to see her again!Post 1 out of 2 today.

I had a meet and greet today! Got to meet these cool kiddos and wonderful parents! Building confidence is on the way!!! Have a good evening everyone!!!

Look at these two cuties!!! We learned about using our feet today! Grace KILLED it while BA****CK!!! She did such an amazing job and picked up on it super fast. She might just start spinning Apache next week 😂❤️ These two are quite the pair! Grace talked a little more today while she learned more about tack equipment! Being patient is key for not only training horses but teaching children as well. She’s such a super star!!! Do you ride ba****ck?

All tucked in for the cloudy Solar Eclipse and the flood warning. 😬 Gettin back into the groove of life after vacation last week and the San Angelo Rodeo!!! It was so much fun and well deserved. ❤️

Apache can count. For all my students who ride/rode him can confirm this. 😂🤣
They definitely know!

As an instructor this makes my whole world. I love when my students want to come back and learn more about horses. To learn to be better riders for their future. We keep learning no matter what! This little girl has taught me as much as I have taught her. She maybe teaching more. 😂 I love seeing how happy my students are and this post just makes my heart happy. As an instructor your number one goal is healthy happy students! If not, YOU are doing it wrong!

Grace got to take a lesson on Dakota yesterday. We had to do everything kind of slow because it’s so wet and slippery everywhere. I let Grace drive me around the round pen and she had so much fun doing that. Don’t worry she was a good driver!
03/13/2024
Today was a good day to take it slow. These two took it slow and did some cone work today! We ended on some pasture exploring! It’s always good to switch it up every now and then to keep the soul young and the heart wild.

Cinnamon was a good girl tonight. We did some lunge line work. We worked on changing directions, stopping, and looking for cues. Then we rode around our little arena. She’s such a good girl🧡

All ponies got a good trim a couple days ago. Trey Jordan is absolutely phenomenal!!!! He takes amazing care of our horses!! He stays on schedule, flexible appointments, and just an amazing person. He does great with our horses when they are injured and takes his time. We have one horse with founder and you wouldn’t even know with Trey’s work. He does amazing work. So happy to have him!

Trust: When you can jump on your Stallion with a rope halter and a lead rope and just cruise around ❤️ Hasn’t been ridden in a few months. Have been doing some ground work. I just wanted to fart around and see where he was mentally. He’s such a good boy ❤️❤️ Trust your horse because they trust you. You never know until you try!
03/02/2024
Grace had an amazing time today! She got to play the flag game and TROT! Oh my gosh she giggled so hard! I loved it!!! She had a very good time and didn’t want to get off. She asked to keep going. Apache is such a Champ!

I love showing people the amazing feeling of riding a horse. I had some friends surprise me this weekend. I met a new friend! I got to show him how to ride Rosie a little yesterday! The smile says it all!! Good job Joe. Now he wants to live closer to ride more!
02/24/2024
Grace had a good lesson yesterday. Everyone was a little tired so we took it slow and played some games! Simon says, red light green light, and flags. She had a lot of fun!

He’s just a trail horse…
Trail horses and trail riders have the greatest and strongest trust bond I will ever see and feel.
I’d rather be on the trail than in a show ring⛰️

Such an amazing lesson today! Olive did amazing! We played a game to change it up a bit. Love changing up lessons for my students! She had a great time. We worked on turns again but did it secretly to have fun!

Hubby and I enjoying some calm horse bonding time. Chilling in the paddock while they munch on some hay and grass. ❤️💚 Winter took a toll on them. Working on getting more weight on these guys. Pasture boarding has its perks and down falls. But not to worry they are getting enough to eat and plus some.

Yesterday, if you guessed(to yourself), it’s Cinnamon!! We got a huge workout in! She’s such a good girl. But we did struggle to turn and flex to the left. We will keep working on it. She is rides in a rope halter or Bosal. NO BIT! Per Kyle’s strict instructions for her. He worked extremely hard starting her. I do not plan on ruining any of his hard work. Time, patience, and consistency is key! Make sure to get your lessons scheduled! Times have changed now that it’s getting hot! Message me if you have any conflicts! I will try and help you figure it out! #prospectbarrelhorse #turnandburn #sweetandspicy #powerful #marepower #stubornlikeherdad #quarterhorse? #craigslistmutt #cutestfaceontheplanet #summerishere #humiditysucks
Kyle has become the new and improved itching post for Apache!!! We got to spend some quality time with all the horses. ❤️
Farrier day!!! Everyone is on a 6 week schedule! Toes were growing FAST! Trey Jordan farrier services NEVER disappoints! On time and enjoyable to talk to! What are your tips, tricks, or pet peeves when it comes to getting your horses ready for your farrier? What are mine!?! Wwweeeeellll let me tell you! Everyone is all caught from the pasture. Tied up, grained BEFORE my farrier arrives, fly sprayed, hooves cleaned, mud washed off if messy, and towel dried. You should be working with your horses regularly so it’s a safe and painless trim for your horses. I also cleaned out all their ears once Trey was done to keep the ticks out of their ears. When was the last time you checked? It’s that time of the year!!
When I first put the fan in his stall he was scared of it. Now he knows it’s luxury lmao. Just waiting for the day I find his butt right up against it. 🤣
Look at this handsome boy 😍😍🥰 Obsessed with how he’s turning out ❤️
Rode Cinnamon yesterday to check all the fence line in the pastures. She was a good-ish girl. She didn’t want to leave her Bad Girls Herd. But after a while she understood she couldn’t shake me, so she obliged and we rode around. She needed a little time on flexing. She fought me a little but that’s okay. She didn’t understand what I was asking of her so we took as much time as she needed. Eventually, she understood and we ended our day. In total it was a 2 hour session. I’m thankful for the things that humble and force me to slow down. A lot of horse owners AND trainers rush things way too much. Take a deep breath and start over. It’s perfectly okay. Not everyday is a perfect ride. Not every ride is perfect. As a rider, your main goal is the well being of the horse.❤️
Oh my goodness this boy is such a sweetheart! He likes to ride his head nice and low. We worked on seat cues yesterday since he struggles with the “WOAH” vocal command. We got some good trotting down and enjoyed and beautiful lope. Ended our ride by riding through the front pasture. Love where he is going. We were keeping his hooves cleaned, dry, and healthy! Thanks to our wonderful farrier for keeping his founder down!
Lip smacking good 😂 Here’s Dakota loving his electrolytes and grain. He can’t and won’t leave ANYTHING behind. He is such a good boy for not wasting his parents money 😂😂🫣 He is currently on Nutrena country feeds! He absolutely loves it! He is gaining some weight back from his feed and all the grass he is consuming 💚 happy horses makes a happy mama ❤️
Getting my steps in TODAY! Oh Apache. I did try and call him. He’s ignoring me 🤨
These two are doing so good! Worked on turns today taking it slow so we can do it faster ❤️ good job to these two!! Super proud and excited on how these two are progressing!
Yesterday was Apache’s 21st Birthday! Grace has the honors of presenting him with his mini cupcake! She got to spend his birthday with him. She did really good job on keeping him doing what she was asking and learned to avoid the cart full of hay! Good job to Grace. And Apache says thank you for his cupcake! 💙❤️
Cinnamon walking on ground Sponges today. Ground is still super soaked. Grass is coming up SO BEAUTIFULLY!!! 💚💚💚 Tonight was a beautiful way to end my day. Horses all taken care of ❤️
To say that it’s wet is an under statement…. It’s beyond soaking out here… it’s so extremely slippery. It’s going to take Dayssss to get dry enough to ride. Well now that I have some free time; I can try and get that round pen roof patched. Also, get some sewing done. 😁
I love this view💜 One day I’ll be able to look at it all day long 😉
My happy place ❤️❤️Rode Dakota and Rosie today before the rain came in. Very peaceful and was able to tune Dakota up a little bit. He has been stuck on lesson horse brain. So that means slow lol. Got him to pick up his feet and speed up a little more. He’s such a good boy.
These two are doing super good with their practice! Olive is working super hard even when Dakota is being a little lazy! We have been working very slowly on their turns! We sped it up today and now she knows what she needs to feel and look for 🥰 I’m so happy when my students want to become better riders for their horses!!! ❤️❤️
If you can’t do it slow, DO NOT DO IT FAST!!!! Slowly getting back into a rhythm. Enjoying the lovely day and Rosie of course! I have lessons for the next three days!!! I love being busy with horse things! I have always thought my voice was funny recorded! Do you think you sound funny too? Just loving the mood I am in. Apaches busted his leg back open a bit. Nothing as serious as it was a few months ago. And now Spirit has abscess in both front feet. In my life, if it’s not one thing it’s two! That’s okay l love my horses and they get very good care. Thank you! See you next time!
Lazy Sunday hitting some of us harder than others.😴 It’s so amazing to feel the sun after having cloudy days for the last week!! #horse #horsesofinstagram #horsepower #horselove #horselover #horselife #equine #equinelife #cinnamonhorse #needtoride #readyforanap #sun #sunnyday #warm #happyday #enjoythebeautifulday
I LOVE teaching people all about horses!!! I love seeing the excitement in your eyes and the freedom you could be feeling. Horses are therapy!
