No stirrup November starts…. RIGHT NOW!! Lets build stronger riders, stronger seats, better balance and stronger legs!
The best place way to get a young one broke is by letting them out if the arena to experience sights and sounds. Rowan loves venturing out and we did our first ride down the road. He handled it great! Hes never offered to bolt or spook when out and about. Even when another horse bolted off he maintained his cool.
The past 3 days of clinic with Wylene were great. Perfect weather. Everyone laughed, cried, enjoyed their own horses, other horses, grew personally and as riders. Some quotes…. “This was life changing” “I lm just in disbelief I did that” “I am having so much fun” “I feel like a kid again” it was a great weekend!
2 days of clinic! Laughing, loving, tears, doing hard things, getting out of our comfort zones, riding and guiding our horses. A cool safe environment with a bunch of awesome people to learn and grow together!
Day one of youth camp with Wylene! These girls learned how to ride and guide. They learned about saddles, flying lead changes, how to ride fast, rode out on the trails, did hard things! They pushed themselves and had fun doing it! Heres to round 2 tomorrow!
As a trainer I think its important to be well rounded, have eyes on the ground, and always continue your training. I took a refresher jump class and it was great to test myself again.
Its been a busy day at the farm! Gunner got his first ride here (hes been ridden prior). My lesson student got to watch me train, helped clean the barn, had a ride on Nutmeg. Maggie got her first ride by a novice rider. Gretchen was so excited to ride Maggie even if its only a walk and Maggie handled it like a champ! Maggie is still pretty green under saddle so this was a great test!
Jack gets a friend! He follows magic around like a lost puppy! #horses #palamino #paint #horsetrainer #horseboarding
One of our lesson girls helped out around the barn in the heat! Taking horses in, hosing them down, putting them under fans.
Cammo is great on the ground. Working on desensitization! If your in the market for a horse. Hes for sale.
9 LONG months and Jack is a free man! No more stall rest for him. Off to the races he goes! #palamino #aqha #horsetraining
Cammo started to learn curbside pickup to help with his rider mounting issue. He is sooo smart. It took about 20min for him to figure it out. Whats even cooler is Karsyn also got to learn how to teach it. I started the basics and then taught her, she has only ever taught her mare! Helps when the training horse is smart and willing to learn.
