Wildflower Horsemanship

Here with Wildflower Acres Horsemanship and Training you can count on horses getting day to day exposure.

Getting horses ready for the 'real world' is super important when considering their future with or without you.

Exposure to things like ropes, animals, down fences, and much more is important to set them up for success and create a willing partner whom, like stargazer, can handle things without a blow up.

Kudos to stargazer for dealing with my crazy self and having a rope swung off of him for the 2nd time to get some really cool photos.

A huge part of training for me is simply TRUST. I've raised this horse from birth. He's been an anchor in my life because we trust each other and the trust leads to being able to push boundaries and do REALLY COOL things we've never done before. Second him being roped off of. 1st time with me standing and swinging the rope above him. What a champ!

To me, being able to ride out on the trails in the dark and at dusk is super important. I want my horses to be prepared for anything I throw at them. Including navigating calmly when they can't see as good. Kudos to Piper for being as great as she is.

14.5 inch wide Circle Y high horse barrel saddle. Used for 1 season. Super lightweight. No longer have the horse I used it with. I rode endurance miles in it comfortably as well. Needs cleaned a little but other than a little dust it's is great shape still.

I paid 1300 for it new. Looking to sell for 800 obo so I can put a deposit on a spot to lease.

Kishan is finally getting saddle prep and he's been such a gentleman about it.

With big changes happening I will be moving to MEAD for the winter and will be teaching riding lessons through the winter there. I also have limited availability to teach in medical lake/cheney.

I focus on teaching begginer and timid riders who need confidence boosts or help overcoming trauma by having a solid but gentle coaching technique. I also enjoy teaching gaming!

Once my move is completed I will open it back up but until then, feel free to message me to get on the list.

My mom's pony has been doing so good. Glad the heat wave is over so I can start working him again.

Just a quick public announcement. I won't be taking on any new horses in foreseen future until after my divorce. Only ones that have already been paid for or are here. My lesson availability has also shrunk and I will only be doing lessons for established clients until my time is free again. I'm focusing on my current work and can't overload during this time! Thanks for understanding.

Helped a friend get a successful first saddling on her young mare, Hazel, today. She's a smarty pants.

Kade finally getting soft and moving out a little. He is a gaited Tennessee walker.

Kade was slightly unamused by his lesson today. After having nearly a month off and evacuating once to a fire, he was feeling spicy. Had to re establish that he's not going to boss me around again but after that he was a good boy.

Charlie, the wild stud, is on his way to Pullman for a cryptorchid surgury. Wish him luck and healing!

Kishan has finally met the point in training that he has the freedom as all the others do. No more having to worry about catching him when he's so in my pocket!
