Smooth Criminal “Jackson” 8 year old medium gelding is the true definition of stall to ring. Spur/stick ride, doesn’t need to see the ring or the jumps. Will do the numbers easily or the add depending on the rider. Will be a divison pony but my kid isn’t the rider for that job. Hack winning trot! Everywhere we go people stop to watch him. Has a change, barefoot, excellent ground manners, good for trailering, vet, farrier and overnight shows. Does require a pro ride just to keep him sharp to the leg otherwise easily maintained by a kid. Priced right above mid 5🥕. Message for videos.

Congratulations to Avery Pavao on the partial lease of Wingardium Leviosa!

06/14/2024

School is finally out for the summer!

Now is the perfect time to lease your child a pony to keep them busy.

We have 4 amazing ponies looking for partial leases:

Pumba (big bodied medium) is the perfect WTC - xrail mount. Never says no and always wants to please.

Molly large mare with easy go and whoa. Perfect ground manners. Great for the rider already jumping that wants to spend more time in the saddle.

Frodo large gelding who is the most forgiving for those learning to jump or a great partner for someone who wants to jump around 2'-2'3.

Levi medium gelding easy off the leg, soft jump, a true teacher type. A barn favorite.

PM Kim for more info.

Great read!

9 Facts About Perfectionism: A mindset that must be unlearned or will ultimately bring your riding down 🧠

1. Every rider makes mistakes, even the best of the best.
It’s an unavoidable, universal experience and all a part of the sport.

2. Mistakes are learning opportunities.
You can grow from them and become better because of them.

3. Hyper-focusing on mistakes helps them happen.
They both become a self-fulfilling prophecy and take your focus away from your ride.

4. Mistakes mean you’re on the right track.
You can’t improve, learn, overcome challenges, and level up without them.

5. It’s not what happened but how you move forward from it that matters the most.
Moving on from the mistake matters more than the mistake itself.

6. Mistakes are temporary.
Work to fix and put them in the past instead of dwelling and allowing them to stick around.

7. Mistakes don’t define you.
You may have had a bad ride, but that doesn’t mean you’re a bad rider.

8. Social media only shows highlights.
Everyone is struggling whether they post about it or not.

9. Perfect doesn’t exist.
It’s impossible to meet unattainable expectations.

A perfectionist mindset and a lack of an ability to accept mistakes will do much more harm than good for an athlete’s mental performance. Mistakes are a normal part of sport and life. Everyone makes mistakes no matter how talented of an athlete they may be. Since perfect doesn’t exist, holding yourself to an unrealistic standard will only set you up for disappointment every ride. Instead, give yourself permission to make mistakes, using them to your advantage by viewing them as valuable feedback and learning opportunities. Refer to this post whenever you begin to feel hard on yourself, and remember that you are not alone! 🏇🏽💭✨
