Blaze did so good for his lesson yesterday he and tiko learned that water is fun!
Learning balance
Casey, our working student is learning about balance using a barrel. This is a safe method used to teach a rider about balance and the barrel will move and roll if you aren’t centered in the saddle. This exercise also helps the rider to strengthen their core. This is an all round wonderful exercise to teach core strength and balance in a safe manner!
Great lesson with blaze today!!
Kailyn and marbles’ join up
Cross
Sweet cross working on his side passing abilities
Cross lunging with scary objects, what a good calm boy!
Finley found a new friend
Part #2 Gunners antics
Yes I’m fine lol
Tandom walking
Cross, Gunner, and Finley learned to all work together respectfully to allow their owner to walk all three of them at the same time (so proud of leighanne for all of her hard work and dedication to these sweet boys) they were able to walk forward, stop, back, change direction, and even side pass in unison. This is an important skill when you have multiple horses because it can help the owner with loading, trailering, and emergency situations where she may need to handle all three at the same time.

Gunners first ride!
Gunner had his first ride under saddle and let me say this sweet boy did not disappoint! He has an excellent foundation in ground work and was able to transfer that to under saddle! I am so proud of him and his owner for their hard work and so proud of him for his eagerness and willingness to please!
Christmas Eve lesson with gunner!
Matt Dylan had a wonderful lesson today he learned to ground drive, which helps him to learn his cues, work off the bit, as well as what his rider asks of him, and also aids in desensitization. It took him a few minutes to not ball up and feel trapped, it also helped him to accept things touching him and moving around on him. So proud of this sweet boy today!
Late post but gunners first time having a leg swing over him! He stood like an absolute statue!! This is how a horse should except a saddle and rider with the proper ground work done before hand! So proud of this sweet boy and his progress!
Introduced weight on gunners back for the first time ever and he accepted it like a champ! Such a wonderful boy that is going to make an amazing riding horse!
