Ignore my riding attire and the blocker tie holding my phone up. I am soooo happy with this horse. He is such a pleasure to work with 🥹
I can’t even describe my happiness with how far this guy has come in such a short amount of time. Every ride I fall more and more in love with him. @courtneypaiige better watch out because I may never let him leave 😉 he still has a ways to go but those are minor things from where he started ♥️
Hard work, patience, perseverance and lots of love went into the last two weeks with this horse to get him to this point. He was so incredibly fearful, especially on his right side. Today was my first official ride on him after working very hard on getting him comfortable with me climbing all over him. Loose reins cruising around 😭🙌🏼. I feel so bad when I get horses in for restarts but days like today remind me that this is exactly why I do the job that I do. I just want to better horses lives and help them and their owners have the best and safest relationship.
Oh Duke. This big kill pen baby at some point in his life had some serious trauma. This video makes me so happy because it really shows how far he has come. Some days he still has his moments of being unsure but he has gained so much confidence in my program.
Oh Shiloh!! This horse has really pushed me to be creative in the week he has been with me. He did Not know how to lunge and getting him to go forward is a struggle because nothing encourages, not even my whip with the big scary trash bag on it 😂 but I made a game of it and we are building up his lunging skills. This was our training session yesterday and I am beyond happy with the progress.
Everyone meet Honey and Rocky aka Freeway. The newest horse and pony in the Lexi K Training Stables string. They needed a serious spa day when they got here which they got immediately. Now I am just stuffing them full of food and then they will get a job once I don’t see those ribs anymore 🤗
