Starting to see the early signs of collection here as he begins to engage from behind and lift through his back. It’s a slow and steady process, but this is where it all begins! 💪🏼

Look at this handsome fella 😍…FM Night Rider 2 year old stallion!

This boy has the greatest brain, temperament, athleticism, bone, feather…he has it all! 🙌🏼 Next will be head carriage…relaxation and rewarding when that head comes down and keeping that forward motion to get that natural collection. ❤️‍🔥

I can’t wait to show him in the future! 🏆

🌟Allowing horses to chew and sniff things when they are curious is good for them because it supports their natural behaviors and cognitive development. Horses are highly sensory animals, and exploring their environment through sniffing and chewing helps them learn about their surroundings!

🌟This type of exploration can also reduce stress and boredom by providing mental stimulation. Chewing and sniffing can be calming for horses, as it mimics the behaviors they would exhibit in the wild, helping them stay emotionally balanced.

🌟Additionally, it gives them the opportunity to engage with their environment, which can improve their overall well-being and foster trust in their handlers!

So, let your horses be curious until they aren’t interested in the thing anymore!

🌟 Groundwork is key to a successful under-saddle experience as it establishes trust, clear communication, and respect between the horse and rider.
🌟It teaches the horse essential skills such as responding to cues and yielding to pressure, which directly enhances their responsiveness under saddle!
🌟Groundwork also helps improve balance, flexibility, and confidence, making the horse more responsive and soft when ridden.
🌟This foundation reduces behavioral problems and ensures a more relaxed, effective, and enjoyable ride!

I got an amazing opportunity to ride this 4 year old Lusitano, Al-Adiyat. Owned and trained by Fred Win.

A pirouette in dressage is a highly skilled movement where the horse rotates in place on the hind legs while maintaining a collected canter or trot. The horse makes a tight turn around its inside hind leg, which remains grounded, while the front legs and outside hind leg move around it. The movement requires a great deal of balance, engagement, and precision, as the horse must keep a steady tempo, correct alignment, and proper posture throughout. It is often performed as a part of advanced dressage tests and is a demonstration of both the horse's strength and the rider’s ability to control and guide the movement smoothly.

He is still in training, as he has only had nine months of training. So the pirouette is not perfected yet. But the trust was there with just the first ride, and he did such an amazing job!

When a horse relaxes, it's because trust has softened its spirit, reminding us that peace grows from the foundation of belief. 🐴🤎

I took Cosmo out where all the commotion is at. We’ve only worked in the round pen, and right outside of the round pen. There were combines, people driving by honking their horns, trailers rattling, and semi’s driving by and he was a SAINT!! Cosmo had the summer off due to me working all of my clients in the mornings before the heat kicked in and it was just too hot! We’ve been getting back into the groove with ground work and we’ve started some light riding 🥰. Pictures and videos to come soon!
