Dolly found true love once again. Enough with her husband Cisco, she has fallen for the Neighbors Donkey. 🫏 Donkey didnt want Dolly to leave, he sounds so funny with the speed of the video sped up 😭😭😂😂 Dolly loves coming to visit the Donkey! The last time we came, I was riding Dollys Husband Cisco, the Dad of her son Apollo who I am riding in this video. Cisco was so heartbroken by Dolly flirting w the Donkey - He went from trotting to laying down in the flash of an eye. His life was over in that moment. Dolly broke his heart lol 😂 No but Cisco was probably scared of it bc he lays down when he is scared of things 😂 Apollo Seemed like he supported Dolly getting him a Stepdad today 😂😂😂 #explorepage #donkey #therapyhorse #horsesofinstagram #horsebackriding #trailriding #truelove #truelovechallenge #explore #adventure #countrylife #equestrian #equestrianlife #fun #followers
Welcome Henry & Loretta
May we give the warmest welcome to HENRY & LORETTA the nigerian dwarf goats! They were donated to us a few days ago, & they made theirselves right at home as soon as they got here! They keep life even more interesting than it already was around the ranch, as they follow you around everywhere like little dogs, even for horseback riding up the long Ranch Driveway! They will be therapy goats for whoever needs more smiles in their life! We are so excited & grateful for the adventures that await us with these two funny kids!! #goatsoftiktok #goats #equinetherapy #nonprofit #ranch #ranchlife #follow #explore #explorepage #love #donate #horsesoftiktok #horsebackriding #texas #gulfcoast #raiseyourvibrations #healing #therapy #nature #fun #country #countrylife #equestrianlife #loveyourlife #funnyvideos #funny #september #endofsummer #horse
We place a high importance on true horsemanship. Horsemanship is so much more than just riding, its lesrninf to care for your equine friend as well. In the saddle, the better you do the slow work & learn to perfect your posture, your hands, & utilizing your natural aides vs using artificial aides to steer your horse, the happier your horse will be & the better of a horseman you will be, which equals more success for yall as a team! Natural aides are your feet, seat, leg, eyes, voice, hands, & your energy & intention. Artificial aides are your reins, things like spurs, crops, whips etc etc. There are between 70,000 to 100,000 equestrian accidents a year in America that require an ER visit. Most of them happen on the ground, & for the ones that happen while in the saddle, it is almost always preventable. To prevent accidents, & to create truly skilled riders who know true horsemanship, so they can ride any discipline they choose, we place a huge importance on learning how to have a proper equitation, soft hands, & how to steer your horse & give them cues using your natural aides vs artificial aides before you learn to go through lots of obstacles or go at faster speeds. As a child I jumped & galloped probably before i was actually ready & equipped with the proper skills & strength to ride well & ride safe, & i fell off more times that i can count. When i went back to the basics & worked on the things listed above, is when i truly blossomed into a talented rider & trainer. Slow & steady wins the race they do say! #horsesoftiktok #horses #horsebackriding #horsemanship #explorepage #explore #follow #slow #steady #equitation #texas #countrylife #ranchlife #equinetherapy
Student Kirin got to learn the basics of “At Liberty” with our horse Coconut. Here they are playing the follow me game where the horse will follow you around & stop moving when your feet stop moving, in total sync with their human.
Liberty is true natural horsemanship and teaches you how to form an unforgettable bond with your equine friend. You learn a lot more with us than just how to ride, you learn how to become a real “Horse Whisperer!”

Just because a horse loses sight doesn’t mean you can’t still do fun stuff! I am so proud of Cora. She started out as very skittish, wouldn’t let us touch her, didn’t trust her own shadow for the sight she does have. Now she’s a cruiser & a huge cuddle bug 🥰
Follow us on TikTok! @hozho_ponies Nothing like a little morning escape to the greener grass on the other side of the fence to start the day 😂
Apollo Apollo. He wasn’t too pleased with his bath immediately after this lol 😂 & of course he rolled in the mud as soon as I turned him out to pasture. He gets it from his father. They’re one with the earth lol 😆
Nothing beats a herd of horses running excitedly towards you happy to see you 🥰
A boy & his horse 🥰 Cisco is one of best therapy horses & he does fun tricks! Our intermediate students get to practice them with him once they pass certain skills tests. You wouldn’t believe Cisco is reaching his senior years - he is still a kid at heart 19 years old but secretly still 9 lol 😂 He was a birthday gift my son earned doing hard work on the ranch for years & practicing his horsemanship skills. All our students learn the responsibility of horse ownership, it’s included in almost all our lessons we teach! Work first play later is one of our mottos here at Hózhó horsemanship. Work hard loving & caring for, feeding & grooming your horse, & they will work ten times as hard for you 💜
Making Memories with Hozho Horsemanship
Have a kiddo who loves horses? OR need some Mommy “me” time and want to learn how to ride or get back in the saddle? Do you or a loved one need a therapeutic outlet? I would love to share my ponies with you!
I’m a cha certified horseback riding instructor/equine mental health specialist certified to teach both English and western riding and I am on the journey to becoming an equine assisted therapist. I offer both for profit & non profit services, depending on your individual needs & budget. I also offer birthday parties and photo shoots with the horses/ponies! I’m currently looking for new students for both my regular riding program as well as my therapy program, and we would love to book some birthday parties and photo shoots! I’ll leave the link to my website below *it’s under construction but gives a bio about me, my experience, what I offer, and some of my current base line prices* Comment below, text me, or PM me with any questions or to book a riding lesson, equine assisted therapeutic session, birthday party or photo shoot!
*I’m also always always in need of volunteers! Horse experience is preferred but not required, the whole family can come out & volunteer with farm chores!*
Please note I do NOT have a fancy riding facility. We are building from the ground up from scratch at the property family has allowed us to turn into our little farm home. We are currently in need of donors, sponsors, & anyone who can build a fence, clear thick brush, dump sand, and/or do carpentry work (we need to build a small loafing shelter for the horses & after that a barn!) Most of the work I do is non profit, only about 30% of what I do is for profit & all of the proceeds go to the care of the horses so that I can continue sharing them with people in need who can’t afford to pay for our services 🥰
