Loki
Loki. 47 days in our colt program. Formerly she was abused, extremely reactive, hard to catch, untrusting of humans and had never been saddled.
Addie-Week 3 starting under saddle
Miss Addie is at the end of her 3rd week in our colt starting program. She is building confidence at her pace and doing so well! She wants to please and works very hard.
Loki at the end of her first 30 days in our colt starting program! 🥰
Loki-Day 20
20 days ago Loki was dropped off at our facility. Here was today's session. I've been getting her started under saddle and today we graduated from round pen to arena. ❤️ The goal is for her owners to be able to trail ride with her when she leaves at the end of April.
P.S, my 13 year old son was my videographer today. He's starting to learn the ropes. lol.
Addie, 10 days since drop off
From flighty and major lack of confidence to her first ride. She has made fantastic progress and I am extremely proud of her! We're a little stiff on the right side so we're going to work on confidence on that side and getting more supple. I can't be happier for this beautiful gal!
Loki Day 12
Loki has been with us for 12 days. Here is her 4th ride! ❤️

Addie Trailer Loading
Addie's owner has had a terrible time trying to get her to load. She has had a traumatic trailering experience and was extremely scared of loading, she even flipped over multiple times before coming to us.
Here is after our confidence building round pen session and 20 minutes of trailer work. She is doing fabulous! From not wanting to get near the trailer, to hopping right in.
This cute little mare came in a week ago. Shes been lightly handled and was quite spooky!
Here's day 7 and her first ride.
