These two have been working hard to build their liberty bond. I can say, that the change in Lex towards his ground work has improved day and night! Who says you can’t teach an old dogs new tricks 😉
Girls put in a nice jump session with Riddle and Puppet 😎
Monique and Brixton having a fun liberty session together ❤️🔥 This baby Clydesdale loves to work at liberty 🤩

Here is a glimpse of what my newer student, Emily, has been up to in her liberty lessons with her horse, Lex. Emily has been super dedicated, putting in her homework and the difference in Lex isn’t comparable to where he was when I first met him. Goes to show, you can teach an old dog new tricks😎 Good job Emily and Lex!

Last minute entry to our first horse trials of this season. @sobol_89 & @domschramm
With only a week and a half prep, Puppet performed with so much improvement since last year. There was a rider error that caused us a ribbon, but overall we finished 7th 🥰 Thank you @eloedie_devoucoux_pa_nj for coming out and supporting us! It was a wonderful show day 😎
First XC schooling of 2024 and my girl was feeling GREAT! 🤩

Nice group lesson in some 70 degree March weather ☀️ This is an exercise I like to call Pony Express, which is like leap frog 🐸 Riders need communication, awareness, and ride-ability.
Also, old man DC (our pony resident) came out of retirement to fill in for this lesson. Last time he was ridden was in Aug. and he acted like he never missed a beat 🥰
I had a blast at the @horseworldexpo with my mare Puppet. This was a first for her, we rode in 4 demos in 3 days. Thank you to @brendan_wise_equestrian & @unbridled_wings and @domschramm for the wonderful educational demos!
Shout out to @fitsridingltd for our stylish riding attire, literally had some form of FITS on every day. Guess that’s the perk of comfortable riding clothes! My @redingote_equestrian also saved me from the cold night checks.
We received lots of compliments on our saddles, @devoucoux_usa_can_official
Only the best for my horses💚 #greenteam
It was great catching up with our expo friends and clinicians. Looking forward to next year!
6 week update with Shiloh
*Shiloh is available for adoption*
She is progressing nicely. She is currently learning to accept bit contact and to move away from leg pressure. There are some moments in the clip where she tries to resist the pressure by throwing her head up, I just hold the contact steadily until she gives the correct answer. She truly is a sweet mare and always tries to please! 🥰 I think she is perfect for a trail riding home with schooling sessions in the ring with someone looking for their forever horse.
Shiloh is one of the sweetest kind eyed mares I’ve come across in a while. She is young with an old soul. Thanks to my @redingote_equestrian for allowing me to continue training horses in these weather conditions ❄️❄️❄️
Shiloh update 🌟
We had our first ride together last week. Weather took a turn for the worse this week, so we are forced to keep things at the walk due to the ground (you can hear how crunchy it is). I’m long lining her in the big ring to get use to it for when the ground becomes a bit safer to ride her. Not much phases this thoroughbred!

Who remembers this handsome mustang, River 🤩
This boy went through a serious neglect case with a few other horses. Luckily, with the help of Wild Lands Wild Horses Series & Fund This Mustang Life every surviving horse was taken in to a few different rescues. River safety landed a spot with Jaime.
He came to me for a few months to get overall handling and beginning stages undersaddle. He was such a love bug and tried his best during each session 💚

What goes through an equestrian’s mind when doing gymnastic exercises 🙃😬🤸🏼♀️ #greenteam #fitsriding #eventingnation @devoucoux_usa_can_official @fitsridingltd
Rue the QH mare🌺 pt.1
Rue was sent to me last year to get restarted. This mare had some great training in her past, but you can tell she carried baggage from the previous work done to her. She was super sweet and wanted to please, on the other hand, she just had a hard time letting go of old tension. I spent time gaining her trust and working on getting her walls down when riding.

Absolutely stunning saddle 🤩 my mares sure are spoiled 🩷🤍🩶 The Harmonie S dressage saddle is designed with a narrow twist in the seat in buffalo leather. My mares will be dancing in the sand box in style for the 2024 season 💝 #greenteam #eventingnation #libertyperformance #devoucoux
