🍁Happy Thanksgiving!🍁
I'm blessed to be able to work as a horse trainer here in Kentucky- but I also worked very hard to reach that goal! Thank you all for doing business with me! Have a blessed weekend with your family, filled with good food and laughter! 💕🦃
Farm update: The Ritchie waterer is installed! My horses checked it out right away :)
They love it!

My lovely mini mare is looking for a new home, because I changed my horse trainer program!
Tonka is always up to date on all important health checks, dewormings and farrier appointments. She was never sick or foundered.The mini mare has excellent ground manners and behaves very well at vet or farrier appointments. ✅
Small children can ride with her on the farm or even in the woods - Tonka leads very well. You can also pony her next to your big horse! Children can ride ba****ck or with a small children's saddle. She doesn't mind dogs jumping around her and is pretty calm. Tonka knows many ground work exercises and loads trailers without any problems, she is trained after the Clinton Anderson Method. She walks, trots and shows a beautiful, clear canter on both hands.❤️❤️❤️
❗Tonka could be your perfect family pony, but she also wants to work a couple times a week! The small mare is cute as a button, but not only a child's toy! She knows how to bow and she lays down on command. I am looking for a family with horse experience who can give Tonka a job!❗
➡️ I'm not in a hurry to find her a home, she will stay until I find the right fit for her! ⬅️
Location: Battletown, Meade, KY

➡️🤠Farm update: The hitching rail
The horse grooming area for the horses is almost finished. The horses stand comfortably on level ground with stable mats. For safety reasons, tie rings can be attached at different heights so that I can tie the ponies securely. Thanks to the water connection, we also have a washing area! The farrier and veterinarian have enough space to do their work quickly and safely. I'm looking forward to completing this project.

I went on a trail ride with the client horse and my Australian shepherd puppy for the first time. The young dog was able to keep up well with the horse. It was cloudy and rainy, but we still had a good time in the woods.
🐴Luna🐴
Today we went into the woods after a good workout. Luna was completely relaxed and really enjoyed to walk around and check things out. My little puppy went with us and run back and forth. The pretty mare never spooked once. At some point I hopped on her back and rode her without a saddle for the first time threw the woods. The weather is not so great but it was a really nice ending of the session.

Another great photo of my client horse Luna! 🍀
The photographer's efforts were simply great! It was our first time working together and we took a lot of great photos. When I'm in front of the camera, I'm always a little nervous. Over time it will definitely get better and it will be easier for me to perform in front of the camera.
❗️If you are looking for a photographer, I can highly recommend Brooke ! 👌👌👌
She takes care of the animal and the owner at all times and ensure an absolutely stress-free shoot. I'm already looking forward to working with her again soon!📌🗓
❤️📷 Check her out ❤️📷

After some sessions in the indoor riding arena I rode Luna outside. We did some riding in the big round pen, I rode her on the cloverleaf and around the farm. She did really good! We still have to work a little bit on her right canter, she is still a little stiff. This mare is pretty relaxed and a pleasure to work with so far! 🍀
🐴Luna🐴
The palomino mare is a real sweet heart and we make great progress on the ground and under saddle.
My goal is to loosen up all five body parts so the stiffness can gradually be dissolved in the walk, trot and canter. I started to work on collection as well and Luna did great! The physical and mental transformation has already begun, she lost some weight und is building some muscle!
🐴Luna🐴 and 🐾Arisu🐾
Yesterday I took the puppy with me so that the horse and dog could become desensitized to each other.
Both didn’t had a problem to be next to each other in movement. Horse and dog stayed relaxed during the walk, trot and canter. In the end I took a couple pictures, Luna tried to sniff the puppy but the dog didn’t feel comfortable with her big head.
In this photo you can see how the young dog looks over at the horse with an uncertain look. It's especially easy to see since Arisu has blue eyes. 😆 After I took the picture he was able to run around, he felt good again and we left the indoor riding arena.

Day 3: After a couple of training sessions with Quarter horse Luna - she has a lot to think about. The mare is doing really good and she responds well to the training. After more desensitization on the ground I will start to ride her. I’m excited to sit on the mare for the first time to check out what she knows under saddle.
🐴Luna🐴
Things have calmed down a bit around us so I took in another client horse before winter.
Welcome Quarter Horse “Luna”! She is 8 years old and is the mare is here to get a better foundation. The owner had some accidents with her because she spooked so I will work on a lot of desensitization on the ground and under saddle.

Graduation photo!
The arabian mare spent three month with me! Yesterday was the last day and her owner picked her up! It was an intensive time and Sheyenne changed a lot. The mare has now a strong foundation on the ground and under saddle, she is really soft in her mouth and on the leg and she is able to hold the collection in all three gates. The last two weeks I spent a lot of time with the owner to teach him how to handle his horse on the ground and how to ride her from now on. He did an amazing job and it was a great journey. Sheyenne and her owner will come back to work on advanced groundwork and riding exercises.
Well done!!! 🍀🍀🍀
🐴Sheyenne🐴
We can see the finish line!
The Arabian mare and her owner work nearly every day on their relationship and communication. The mare spent 3 month with us and now she will go home again next weekend. I did tons and tons of groundwork and riding exercises, after all this time she built up a pretty strong foundation. The owner was involved throughout the entire training process and received intensive instruction over the last two weeks so that he could put everything he had learned into practice. The aim of the intensive weeks is to bring owners and horses together again. The newly learned communication skills should be practiced and internalized so that both partners can rely on each other.
During the last week of training we will double check everything again to make sure, the owner feels confident on the ground and in the saddle- no matter where he wants to ride.
🐴✨Sweet dreams✨🐴
The yearlings enjoyed the sun after a good lunch… they eat, sleep and grow so much 😁

The small pony mare helped me to train my Australian shepherd puppy today. It was his first close contact to a horse and both of them did great! The puppy will help me to train some of the training horses in the future. He will become a great farm dog and “Co-trainer” like my husky.
The young horses enjoyed the day while I was painting the barn👩🎨. Everybody good? Good!
Farm update:
🍀Next generation🍀
I bought 3 Quarter horse fillies in the last couple of weeks and everybody is doing great. The young horses love being in the pasture and they are already friends. I spend a lot of time with each one of them to check out their personalities. All three of the mares are pretty relaxed and quiet. I did a lot of basic training like leading, pick up the feet for the farrier etc. As expected, the young horses behaved really good so the farrier and the vet could get their job done.
🐴Tonka🐴
After a long time I finally found a pony saddle! Tonka does look like a big small horse now 😆 If you are looking for a SAFE kids pony, this is the one!
Tonka is 6 years old and 32” tall. She is up to date on everything and all the paperwork is already done! The vet was here just a couple days ago: I have her negative coggins test and her health papers in hand.
This is my first effort to look for the perfect home, if you are interested, send me a pm!
🐴Sheyenne🐴
The Arabian mare is still in training with us and explores more and more obstacles. We had to give a small break because she had a small cut but now we are back in the game! We do a lot of groundwork and riding with her and she already learned a lot. I will try to make some videos while riding soon.

No work ethic today 😆
👷♀️Horse farm update👷♀️
A lot has happened at home in the last few weeks, in addition to training customers' horses, I continue to build up my own farm. At the beginning of the planning I decided on a paddock track system, which I will gradually expand. Now we have fenced in another pasture, which I will use for the older and boarding horses.
🤠Horse clinic time🤠
A week ago I went to the Old Capitol Saddle Club to get my membership done. After the paperwork, I stayed to watch Tommy Sheets, a western pleasure trainer, during his clinic. It feels good to meet different trainers and training techniques again, because I always learn something. I went to many clinics in Germany and I met a lot of people, after some time I also offered weekend clinics as well.
Now I wanna start to join different clinics here in the U.S. again, so if you know about one that’s coming up, let me know! I’m open minded about the topic/ discipline 😌.

I rode the Arabian mare a couple times now and I make good progress. I work on her foundation and I want to soften up all five body parts. I found some holes on the ground and under saddle, now I will take my time to fix them. After a training session I went to the fire pit with her. She was afraid of it at first but she wanted to check it out after a little while.
🚨🐴🚨
Today I met some members of the Embers of Hope Equine Rescue to remove some “American Saddlebreds” from a private farm. I helped to load some of the unhandled horses into different trailers, these horses deserve a good home and they will need some good food. Next weekend I will go there again and we will load the remaining horses. It was a good morning and I'm happy for all the horses that found a spot with other rescue organizations today.
🐴Blue🐴
Blue spent over 60 days with me and now it was time to say goodbye 👋. Her family picked her up with a smile on their faces. It was a really good time, I enjoyed to train that easy going filly and I love her transformation! We will see her again! Thank you so much for your trust to train and take care of Blue!
🍀🌻🍀🌻🍀
“I sent Blue to Patty at Rope and Liberty for training at the beginning of June. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude and happiness with Patty and her knowledge/ability to work with not only Blue, but with me! Now Blue had a nice foundation put on her from her previous owner, but Patty was able to put another level of foundation and training on Blue that I am so happy and impressed with!! Patty has a lot of knowledge of the horse, is very patience, and I’m blown away by her ability to read the horse and train them. She is phenomenal!! I would 10000000% recommend Patty to anyone that wants a horse started and trained. For the last 2 weeks, Patty has worked with me with daily lessons and she has helped to grow my confidence so that I can continue Blue’s training at home. Luckily, Patty is only a few minutes away, so if I run into trouble or have a question, she’ll be close by! Thank you Patty!!!!!”

Me and Blue’s owner played around with the remote control car again! The 3 year old blue roan mare did amazing!
Desensitization ⭐️next level⭐️
🐴Blue🐴
🏎Remote control car training! 🏎
This was FUN! We introduced the car on the ground and the owner did some groundwork exercises while I was driving the car.
After a few minutes the owner rode her horse and “worked the car”.
Works well, if you don’t own cattle or a mechanical cow flag right now😄

We introduced a lot of obstacles to the 9 year old Arabian mare!
🐴Sheyenne🐴
After a long training session in the round pen, more training in the open field to get her used to step over obstacles and the circle driving exercise we went to the pond. Of course she had breaks between the exercises. It took us a good while until she finally touched the water with her front feet. After a couple minutes she figured out that it’s not to bad to cool down in the water. Good job, Sheyenne!
🐴Blue🐴
Today we did the cloverleaf pattern at the walk, trot and canter on the farm. I rode Pretty girl and took some photos/videos of Blue and her owner. Blue’s owner did an amazing job today and she worked really hard. She and her filly figured it out! After the outdoor session we went into the woods to cool down the horses. It was a hot day, but we were pretty comfortable during the trail ride.
🐴Sheyenne🐴
The Arabian mare needs a lot of desensitization with different objects. She will figure out to use the thinking side of her brain and to relax around objects. She learns quick but she is still not a big fan of objects around her feet or her head!
🐴Blue🐴
I went on a trail ride with Blue and her owner. Everybody enjoyed the time in the woods after a good training session. Blue behaved really good and she was really quiet. We switched positions a couple of times so Blue had to stay behind or in front of my horse. She stepped reliably over various surfaces. Her owner plans to compete with her and I’m sure Blue will be a really good partner on the trail as well!
Time for an update: I was pretty sick the whole last week, I got some kind of virus… Now I feel a lot better and I started to work the horses again! I will introduce you to the new training horses soon! Let’s start with her ⬇️🐴
🐴Sheyenne🐴
After a bad accident on the trails the 9 year old arabian mare is here for a tune up training. She has good ground manners and lunges well. She can flex from side to side pretty good and I can tie her up without problems. After a couple sessions I found some holes in her foundation. Sheyenne is head shy, spooky around different objects and she reacts very strongly when something touches her legs, especially on the front legs. After more ground work sessions I’ll start riding her and check out, what she knows. I’m excited to work with her, the pretty mare will stay for a couple month.
