I have had the most wonderful week with my amazing clients.
We are gearing up for 2025 and we have some exciting new teams we are putting together, new horse and riders that we have been remaking, horses we are tuning up for the show season.

๐ŸŽž As we continue our exercises to gain a better lope off, we go a little more in depth on the topic. We want to make sure our horse has life, reach and acceptance while pushing forward. But itโ€™s always important to remember to take our time and have patience.

๐Ÿด When your horse waits on you, thatโ€™s what you want. When your horse always anticipates, thatโ€™s when you will have trouble.
We want to build acceptance and softness. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Shaping your horse for the set up โ€ฆโ€ฆ

12/16/2024

๐Ÿด If the head and neck have to rock up and down to balance the horse, then that horse isnโ€™t really lifting through their back and body. In a good lope off they should lift through their loin, step up behind, lift up and go.

In this video we are working on body balanceโ€ฆ
A good lope off transition needs: 1. Position 2. Lift 3. Impulsion
In order to get those ๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿผ you need to be aware of your horses body.

If I feel my horse losing their balance in their stops or being on their front end, I will draw them to the ground. This isnโ€™t high stress. Itโ€™s like going to the gym, this is her maintenance work. This is helping her to be the best mare she can be. I am helping her skill level but Iโ€™m also strengthening, lifting, stretching her body to do it and Iโ€™m helping her accept my cues.

This exercise will build her skill level, build her balance, build her strength.
I donโ€™t care what event you doโ€ฆ This exercise will help your horse lope off like a CHAMPION. ๐Ÿ†

๐Ÿด How many of you have needed a better lope off transition with your horse? Iโ€™m telling you transitions are so important no matter what event you do.

To teach your horse to correctly lope off... I want to go over 3๏ธโƒฃ factors in this video that are involved in the lope off.

A good lope off transition will improve your score in every single event that you do, it'll improve your score in any event and it'll improve your ride.

Even though I am on a Pleasure horse here, we do the same transitions for our All Around Horses, Ranch Horses and our Reining Horses.

๐Ÿ† Multiple Circuit Champion and/or Reserve Circuit Champion at every major show.. all in Western Pleasure

Someone will be so lucky to have the opportunity to ride this special horse. He has been amazing in my program and has been an amazing show partner for Sydnee and taken her so far, won many awards with her and has been Circuit or Reserve Circuit at every major show.

Gus is VERY competitive in the Western Pleasure pen but his talent doesn't stop there. He shows great potential for the All Around events and is beautiful over the trail poles with so much NATURAL talent.

Just take a look for yourself in these videos.
He will be an open caliber All Around horse and a big time contender and have a lot of wins for someone.

We would LOVE to keep this special boy in my program.
This horse will take you far and be a great show partner! ๐Ÿฆ„

โค๏ธ It is my heartโ€™s desire to help people develop a long-term horse that stays willing and happy with his job, and to create a lasting partnership.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

โญ๏ธ I strive to help teach people how to develop unity with their horse in and out of the show ring. This is done through the effective and fair use of a riderโ€™s hands, seat, body and legs, in a kind way, to ultimately become one with your horse. In addition, I purpose to develop ultimate body control of the horse. My goal is to have a natural, fluid mover with lift and flow. I want to achieve excellent movement and a willing partner. I feel that it is so important for riders to know that they can do it too! Whether youโ€™re training your horse yourself or riding with a trainer, you have the ability to achieve success riding in the show ring, on the trail, on cattle, speed events, or anything that you aspire to do with your horse.

โ™ฆ๏ธThat is why I have created and developed a phenomenal DVD series that is specific and topic related to you and your horse. โ™ฆ๏ธThat is why I created Team Hokana Video Club, an online monthly membership with videos from "in the arena" sessions that show the real stuff of what goes on and how to achieve and fix a problem horse ALL WHILE STILL BUILDING AND CREATING A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR HORSE!!
It's possible... It's possible with knowledge, correct knowledge. Knowledge I am so happy to share with you.

๐ŸŽž As we continue our exercises to gain a better lope off, we go a little more in depth on the topic. We want to make sure our horse has life, reach and acceptance while pushing forward. But itโ€™s always important to remember to take our time and have patience. ๐Ÿด When your horse waits on you, thatโ€™s what you want. When your horse always anticipates, thatโ€™s when you will have trouble. We want to build acceptance and softness. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ ๐Ÿ”” Stay tuned for Part 4 of this 5 Part Series!! ๐Ÿ›‘

Happy National Day of the Horse to these magnificent animals. I feel so incredibly blessed to be able to do something I love so much! These horses are a gift and we owe it to them to give them our all and learn, read and understand them.

๐Ÿด If the head and neck have to rock up and down to balance the horse, then that horse isnโ€™t really lifting through their back and body. In a good lope off they should lift through their loin, step up behind, lift up and go. In this video we are working on body balanceโ€ฆ A good lope off transition needs: 1. Position 2. Lift 3. Impulsion In order to get those ๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿผ you need to be aware of your horses body. If I feel my horse losing their balance in their stops or being on their front end, I will draw them to the ground. This isnโ€™t high stress. Itโ€™s like going to the gym, this is her maintenance work. This is helping her to be the best mare she can be. I am helping her skill level but Iโ€™m also strengthening, lifting, stretching her body to do it and Iโ€™m helping her accept my cues. This exercise will build her skill level, build her balance, build her strength. I donโ€™t care what event you doโ€ฆ This exercise will help your horse lope off like a CHAMPION. ๐Ÿ† ๐Ÿ”” Stay Tuned for more videos on this FIVE part series ๐Ÿ›‘

๐Ÿด How many of you have needed a better lope off transition with your horse? Iโ€™m telling you transitions are so important no matter what event you do. To teach your horse to correctly lope off... I want to go over 3๏ธโƒฃ factors in this video that are involved in the lope off. A good lope off transition will improve your score in every single event that you do, it'll improve your score in any event and it'll improve your ride. Even though I am on a Pleasure horse here, we do the same transitions for our All Around Horses, Ranch Horses and our Reining Horses. ๐Ÿ”” Stay Tuned for more videos on this FIVE part series ๐Ÿ›‘
