It's c**t starting season! The greatest gift you can give your horse is a good foundation. Their future depends on it!

We like to have all of our twos started well with 30 to 60 days minimum and depending on what the c**t needs and what each individual tells us. Some get turned back out for the summer, some stay in and prep for futurities, some stay in and take it slow to be ready for the 3s. Every horse is different and our program adjusts for them.

The human brain closes a key window at about 13 yrs of age for the ability to become fluent in a second language. Your horse in turn, has a key window of learning and suppleness that makes their learning period faster and easier as well, taking advantage of this time frame is good for both of you and sets your horse up for success no matter the discipline or end goals.

As we relish in this beautiful, different and sometimes difficult season, remember, perfect pictures, smiling families, glowing homes are just moments. Staged moments captured and shared. Behind every perfect picture (especially in horses) are at least 10 NOT perfect pictures that are usually quickly deleted. But not here!! Let's share the imperfections of 2020 as we say good riddance to one of the strangest years of most of our lives!! There will definitely be a virtual high five awarded to the pic that gets the most likes!! Share away!!
