Found home!
B and Carlos have been rehomed to the best home possible! Couldn’t be more happy with where they are going.
The horse industry can be cruel, especially when you are looking to purchase yourself a new horse. Many folks can get taken for a ride by dishonest horse people. In order to stop that from happening here are some red flags to note when purchasing your new best friend! 1. The horse is either already tacked up or standing tied when you arrive. This is a red flag as you aren’t able to see how the horse is to catch or how their ground manners when being tacked up. 2. The horse is sweaty when you arrive, this could mean they have already been ridden to get the bad behavior out before you ride them. 3. The seller won’t allow you a Pre Purchase Exam. This is a huge red flag as they may be hiding a lameness issue! 4. The owner won’t get on the horse before you do. When I am looking at a horse I always have the owner hop on the horse when I arrive unless I am looking to purchase a project horse and know their issues before hand. If the owner does not get on the horse before you do this is a red flag as they may know the horse is unsafe. When I am going to purchase a horse and the owner themselves does not get on I respectfully leave right then as this is a safety issue. 5. The seller asking for a deposit before you have even seen the horse. Do not put money down on a horse sight unseen unless you know they are a reputable seller and they have a business. Even then do your research so you lose your money! 6. And lastly the owner/seller is not fully answering your questions or giving excuses. These are my top 6 red flags to look for when going to purchase your new furry friends. If you are still hesitant it is always good to have a trainer go with you to look at a possible horse too! Hope this helps and gives some ideas! Do you have any red flags you look for? Comment down below! Disr
“But I'm in the trees, I'm in the breeze, my footsteps on the ground. You’ll see my face in every place” I see you all around buddy. My heart will never be whole again. You took a huge piece of it with you when you gained your wings ❤️ #horsesofinstagramdaily #highlights #horsesofinstagram #explorerpage #findmeonfacebook #horseriding #horse #horsebackriding #horsetraining #horsetrainingtips #horsetrainer #horsetime #horsegirlsummer #horsetok #experience #reels #apha #ottb #englishriding#western #westernriding #hunterjumper#horseshow #inspirational #horsesoftiktok #horseworld#hearthorse #appy #quarterhorse #happy #sad #greif
Valentine’s Day is almost a week away. Instead of buying her flowers this year be different and buy her a horse instead 😉 I promise it will be worth it #horsesofinstagramdaily #highlights #horsesofinstagram #explorerpage #findmeonfacebook #horseriding #horse #horsebackriding #horsetraining #horsetrainingtips #horsetrainer #horsetime #horsegirlsummer #horsetok #experience #valintinesday #horsesoftiktok #horseworld
Cj running around like he pays his bills 😂 Can you figure out what went missing in the video?
Update~ For the last two months my horse life has been giving me grief. The passing of Raphael hit me extremely hard and to this day going up to the barn is still so painful. On top of that Hawkeye sustained a possible career ending injury and will most likely be retired. Bentley’s test for his swollen stomach came up negative for pigeon fever and different test the vet ran to try and determine what the problem is. However, they can’t figure it out and he continues to be monitored for issues that are happening with him. Cj I had decided to unlisted him for sale and he is recovering from an injury sustained during turnout. I’m very thankful for my horses but I would just like a break from what’s happening. I just want my ponies to be back and healthy.
A little throwback to 2018 with my favorite guy. I miss him daily but so incredibly thankful for all the memories I have of him ❤️
What’s missing besides his bridle? Shoutout to anyone who gets it right!!
Getting pens and arena all ready for horses and students! Can’t wait to see you all this week! 😁
These guys are such goofballs
Beach rides hit different 🌊☀️🕶️ #horseriding #horselife #horseoftheday #horses #beachdays #bodegabay #horsetrainer #horsetraining #horseday #beachvibes #beachlifestyle #ridingonbeach
Days like these I always treasure close to my heart. This horse is enjoying his days rolling around in the sand and out in pasture with occasional rides. This horse is my forever heart horse. #hearthorse #horsetrainer #horseriding #bareback #tacklessriding #horseforlife
Bridleless? No problem! This horse continues to exceed expectations
I think Rio is trying to say “No More Studying” It was a super nice day at the barn today. So decided to hang out with the horses and study although some of us where not thrilled about it 😂. This horse always makes me smile.
Coming up on almost 8 years together. This horse has taught me and so many others so much. When people say this horse is my heart horse I didn’t know what they meant until I met this guy. He is my forever heart horse. I would not be the rider or trainer I am today without him.
Merry Christmas from Nakanishi Equine! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
Bentley 🐻 This guy jumped the roll top for the first time! When introducing a jump like this for the first time I always have the walk up to it first then trot up to it so they realize it’s nothing scary so they won’t shy away from the jump. Yes, he over jumped it and left a stride early but I applaud his effort and his heart for trying! And his lead change at the end, he’s such a good boy. I just love him to death. I am starting to train him for cross country as we will be doing some 3 day events in the near future! So the introduction to the roll top was a big step for this guys future.
Like Father Like Son. Crazy to see how similar Cj is to his dad! This guy has an exciting future ahead for him. Stay tuned!
