If you’re not turning your horse into a slide, are you even riding? 😂

I had a wonderful weekend with Perfect Stride Equestrian and JLdressage LLC.
I had the great opportunity to ride Gillyana JL with Paul Belasik. I’d say we found some fancy!
Huge thank you to Colleen Rull at Green River Farm for hosting a great clinic!

Wise words
Just some musings today after a conversation I had over lunch about running a professional barn and program and not losing your mind:
1) HAVE OTHER HOBBIES. Get out of the barn and do something else. Anything else. Trust me, your sanity will thank you.
2) HAVE NON HORSE FRIENDS. For some professionals this is easier said than done. I had to make it a serious goal and put work into it.
3)MAKE RIDING YOUR OWN HORSES A PRIORITY. What’s all that work worth if you aren’t developing yourself? My horses are my happy place so I have to make time for that.
4) SET PRICES SO YOU CAN HAVE STAFF. Don’t work yourself to death for other peoples luxury items. I’m expensive because I want to be able to pay my employees so that I can prioritize my mental health and theirs by having enough staff to avoid burnout.
5) HAVE THE FULL UNDERSTANDING THAT NOT EVERY RIDE OR DAY OR MONTH OR EVEN YEAR IS GONNA BE GREAT. Saddle up anyways.
6) WHEN YOU ARE IN ONE OF THOSE BAD WEEKS, TELL YOURSELF EVERYDAY THAT YOU CAN QUIT TOMORROW. Do it crying, do it mad, just don’t quit.

Sometimes you just need to take your tree on a walk.

This past week Lily came to ride Lison. She made this video! It’s so fun to see how far they both have come!
Meet Emerald! She’s a 4 year old pinto, Arabian, and Andalusian cross filly. Emerald has had most of the winter off. We started her back in training today. I’d say she didn’t miss a beat! I’m looking forward to working with her over the next few months to start her under saddle and continue her trick and liberty training. Thank you to Tuckaway Farm for the use of their beautiful facilities. Thank you to Karen Russell Dameron for trusting me with Emeralds training!
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 from Lison!
Still got it! Pretty amazing for 28!
Like we never had a day off.
This morning I got to visit with an old friend. Hawk is 28 years old and living his best life in retirement at Rutledge Wilson Farm in Springfield. He gets to boss around a few cows and occasionally is asked to do a pony ride or two. Today we did a presentation for their summer camp. The campers will spend the week learning about animal behavior and training. It never ceases to amaze me, I haven’t worked with Hawk in almost 2 years, but he picked up right where we left off.
A peaceful evening letting the boys graze. Looking forward to a great Summer Sizzler Show tomorrow!
Halter breaking Thoroughbred yearlings. Why lead one, when you can lead two!? They’re learning to be brave and relaxed in their big new world!
Cross training with Chelsey and Helga!
Mark Training? What is that? Teaching your horse to stand on a "mark" can have many uses! This type of training is often used in the entertainment world, where animals need to hit their "mark" either on camera or on stage. April is a Missouri Foxtrotter Mare, that was having trouble standing quietly in the barn. Instead of fighting with her to make her stand still, we changed the game! Now she comes to the barn and hunts for her mark, where she is happy to stand quietly. Do you have a horse that could benefit from mark training? Contact me for lessons and training.
