Ryder and Amber Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge

10/08/2023

So EXCITING NEWS! Ryder was adopted yesterday at the Training Challenge and today his adopter, Erika, picked him up. Congratulations to Ryder for finding an amazing forever home and Thank You to Erika for choosing Ryder to be your new trail horse! I am so excited for both of you and looking forward to seeing you on the trails in the future!

Ryder did really well yesterday! Even though we didn't place, I am very proud of him and how far he has come in the time that he was with me.

I can't believe it is almost the Training Challenge! Tomorrow we head to the expo center to check in!Jodi Brassard came by yesterday to do some body work on some of my other horses, and while she was there I went ahead and had her do one more session on Ryder. Ryder was feeling a little stiff to the right when I was working him the last couple days, and after seeing all his releases I think he is 100% ready to go now to the training challenge!

This morning we spent a bunch of time working on our freestyle 😃 The last week of the challenge is always bittersweet, I'm excited to show off everything I have taught my horse at the challenge, but at the same time and I know I will be saying goodbye when he finds an amazing adopter. He is such a fun horse and I am glad he was assigned to me so I could be his partner in this step of his journey.

We went on another little field trip today we went to the Scissortail Hill Equestrian Horse Show. We competed in the novice division of the trail class and placed 2nd!! Super proud of Ryder!!

We also rode around the grounds by all the things going on and in the covered arena. He was a good boy, well behaved and hung out at the trailer when I showed my other horse in the jumpers... it was HOT day 🔥 at the show.
