Take a little spin on Stella aka Poundcake. Beverly Coulter
Lil Cowboy learns to come towards pressure with Dana Ledbetter Quinn.
I love Steve Kosor & Gina Smith-Hatler commentary during our run. Nice to know people are always rooting for you.
A little late but here are a few pics of my big bay boy, Puff Daddy, getting it done last weekend. Thankfully we are still sitting in first in the 2D of Adult Barrels at NBRC...a Buckle is in our sites. So so proud of him for his first season back after 4yrs off. This boy takes care of us both each time we step foot in the arena.
Our run from the show this past Saturday. 1st in 2D, not to shabby for his first season back after 4yrs off. Love his dedication.
Puffy's run from June. We had a 16.4 for 1D but came out to tight on 3rd.
Stella Bridless
Such a good minded mare. Walk, leg yield, pivot, turn around, stop, and back up bridless.
Rollback in a dressage saddle...yes please.
Bam Bam cruising pattern & loping circles week 5
Last workout before Bam went home for the winter. Cruising through the pattern, yielding shoulders, and loping quiet, round circles. Note: Bam is only a 3yr old QH mare, and this is her first formal training since leaving track life last winter. Smart, willing, and athletic is a killer combo. Proud of her coming so far in 5 weeks, can't wait to see how she progresses in the spring of 2016.
Bam Bam loping single barrel exercise wk 5
Bam Bam week 5 working the single barrel exercise at a lope both directions. This exercise allows you to work on the round of your horses turns without having to push them through the pattern repeatedly. I picked it up at a Molly Powell Clinic, continuing education is always a plus.
Ruby (Zippo Bar Malady) working at liberty around Stella & I
Little late posting this but I had the proudest moment of Ruby the last time we worked at State Line Arena. We started out free lunging and ended up working at liberty around Stella and I. She responded perfectly to body language and voice commands. Maybe I have found her new career Beverly Coulter. ;-) Silly lil mare.
Side Note: Ruby has only free lunged a handful of times in a round pen but at least I know we are connected even in a 150x200 arena.
Dawn & Passem Up Pistol
Working towards tuning Pistol up for next season. Single barrel exercise to the right and left at a jog, working up to a lope when the ground is dry enough.
Deuce only 4 weeks on the pattern
Deuce & Pam cruising through the pattern after only 4 weeks. correct leads & nice round turns.
