Incredible demonstrating the biggest giveaway of a good snooze session.. the droopy lip!
Horses running, playing and having fun in the field…just being horses!
The countdown to summer has officially begun!
“Chase wait, you forgot to give me a treat!” 🥕

Ana and Primo show their precision through the labyrinth exercise! 🙌🏼 We love the attentiveness, the bend and crossover in turns, and the trot out at the end! This will transfer very easily to under saddle using #PositiveReinforcement
We had a blast at the 2024 US Pony Club Convention in Reno, NV! 😃
It was lovely to meet all the The United States Pony Clubs Inc., (USPC) Official Page attendees and share with you our knowledge of positive reinforcement training!
Thank you Ana and Jasmine for representing us! 💙
New Year's Resolutions Around the Barn -Frida (matron of a Certain Age): Already hired a personal trainer at the gym to help navigate the equipment and keep me going. Inspiring! Could ditch the "Attagirl" slaps, however.
Knock knock ✊ Incredible is ready for his ride and wants to know what's taking so long!
Would your horse do this? 😆
Gilly and Imagine's lap of honor at the region 5 Regional Championships 🏆
A weekend of fun and success, earned by hard work, dedication and lots of training. 🏆
Gilly and Imagine won their championship at the region 5 Regional Championships and can be seen here celebrating with a victory lap of honor!
A truly happy athlete, trained just with positive reinforcement, no spurs or whips. The whole team at Via Nova couldn't be prouder ❤️
Let's talk about negativity bias...
Something we like to discuss as a part of our training is the importance of tackling negativity bias.
It's common across all equestrian disciplines with riders, horse owners, and even trainers only seeing the problem(s) of a situation rather than the bigger picture.
This can often be a common blocker in traditional training forms, as it doesn't allow you to understand the issue(s) and look for a potential solution. With Priority to Positive®, we work on overcoming this mindset as just one of the areas of our training, which can also be beneficial for life outside of the barn!
Just Tulip, Indy, Imagine and Nimue living their very best lives! 😍💙
Is your horse this easy to bridle? Bridling can be a “bit” of a struggle, but with positive reinforcement, Tulip has become a pro at the bridle game. He knows that there’s a sweet reward waiting at the end 😆 It’s all about finding the right motivation.
Anyone for a game of soccer? 😆
Even the horses are in the spirit of celebrating the FIFA Women's World Cup Final 🏆⚽️ Let us know who you'll be cheering for!
Say cheese! 😁
An hour spent teaching your horse to pose for photos is an hour well spent! 💙
