Developing partnerships through feel, timing, and balance

New YouTube video is up!

If you struggle to remember how to put together your Jaquima(hackamore), well this one is for you!

In this video I go over two different methods I use for attaching a mecate made by The Colorful Cowgirl to a bosal. We only use mecates made by Gloria Michelle, there isn’t any other maker that we have seen that can come close to the balance and consistency.

I’m not sponsored nor affiliated with Gloria or TCC, we just truly believe in providing our horses with the best tack we can get our hands on and hers are hands down the best. So if your into traditional horse hair tack, now know where to purchase the best mecate your money can buy 💸

At least the water troughs aren’t frozen Wish me luck I think the horses are going to be spicy today!🤪

Friendly reminder to clean your tack. This is why I love fleece lined wool pads. The wool for absorbing impact and when the time comes the fleece just needs a curry comb and a vacuum to get a quick reset.

Remember a dirty pad can sore a horse just as easily as a bad fitting saddle. Clean your pads and cinches! We use mohair cinches, for cleaning we just soak them in a bucket of water changing the water as needed.

We have mustangs to rehome still. Here a quick snapshot of what’s still available.

The grulla is a registered Sorraia Mustang!! There is less than 200 of these in the entire world, don’t miss out!

Through every dark storm that may come into your life there is always something beautiful to come of it. Sometimes you have to look harder than others to see it but it’s always there.

Feeling grateful this morning.

Sunset sessions just soothe the soul. Add in a mare with a soft heart and you have the perfect way to end a Sunday evening.

Here are the mobile saddle racks you asked about!

10/25/2024

I’ve gotten some request to see close ups of this panel mounted saddle rack I made. If you’re one of the people that sent me a message then stay tuned for some close up shots tomorrow when there is light. These thing have been so handy to have around!!

Also..
I am in the process of making some YouTube videos. Feel free to send any suggestions of things you’d like to see. For example one request was how I make my garrocha poles(haven’t forgotten Elisa Wilson), another is how to get beautiful head carriage when backing a horse in a bosal(one of trainers I look up to asked my wife how I do it at a show. It’s probably the biggest compliment I’ve ever gotten)

Is there anything you’d want to see? Send a DM and I’ll see what I can do to make it happen!

Lastly…
Thanks for all the support guys. We’ve grown a lot faster than we anticipated and I owe it all to each and every one of you that like, share, and interact with us regularly. We see you liking and following along and can’t thank you enough for it. And an extra special thanks to those that regularly share our content, It’s what motivates us to keep going!

Well there has been exactly ZERO interest in Primo. it’s quite a shame, He has the absolute best mind. The type every prospective mustang owner is looking for! But who wants a plain bay right?🙄

That being said we’ve decided to continue his training today. His first official ride under saddle working other mustangs went great. Not every horse I train would I just jump right in and get to work like that, but his mind is just solid!!

If you have ever dreamed of starting a mustang under saddle for the first time, this guy would be an amazing confidence builder!!

Low x,### but it will go up with more training so act fast!

We currently have a few training spots available!

If you happen to be in the market for a mustang we even have a few that are titled and ready for their forever home.

It rained like crazy yesterday and then we were greeted with a beautiful frosty morning. I think the mustangs had a good roll😂

Final ride on Sancho before he goes home tomorrow. We could not have asked for a prettier Arizona sunset.

When mama cat wouldn’t feed the babies anymore and losing a couple kittens we decided to see if Hondo was up to the task and sure enough she didn’t mind one bit. This is such a special pup! We just hope this works to keep these babies going!

One day at a time.

As I sit there contemplating on whether to throw my leg over I can’t help but consider if I skipped anything. Is there a hole I didn’t find? Is she going to break in two with just the motion of my leg going over and becoming present in her other eye? So many questions and so many doubts.

I’ve been here many times and no matter the horse this part is always the same. I’ve seen the nicest most sweet horses take flight and some of the rudest outlaws walk off without a hitch. You absolutely never know what’s going to happen but the decision has already been made. All that’s left to do is put it in Gods hands and keep the journey moving along.

As always thank you to Hatch Family Farm Hay & Feed Sales for always providing the best hay around!

Perfect end to weekend

Riding with my beautiful wife

Cloud frolicking in the arena

Trail class. Not at all what I expected for a trail class. Chulo and I worked so hard on side passing, two-tracking, opening/closing gates, roping, dragging, etc.. which are basic “ranch” type menuevers. But unfortunately this course was not in our favor. With all the twist/turns and loping Chulo was just way to sore. He threw a bit of a protest so I spent the rest of the ride just trying to keep him happy. Not the run we wanted but that’s how it worked out. I learned a ton for next year and can’t wait to pick up another horse and do it all over again!

What a mess! This class was definitely a tough one for us. When running into the arena there was a guy kinda hidden behind the gate so he could close it behind us. Well he moved a little and sent Chulo into a fit before we even went out!😂 From then on I just didn’t have his mind AT ALL. I guess at least we got some flying lead changes in😂😂

If you missed our run here it is! Thank you Victoria Johnson for watching, recording, and sending it to me. The support is MUCH APPRECIATED! Chulo is doing fantastic! I can tell he’s not exactly excited about all this but he sure is trying for me!
