Be the firm, fair, & consistent leader they want to follow and work for!

Tonto is really getting a taste for domestic life with all the ways I can possibly “spoil” him.
Him and Bee both got some extra love with trying a different brand of fly spray and fly masks.
They were even eating me up 😫🥺
It’s a shame to hide their purdy faces, but at least their eyes and ears are safe from bugs
One week into domestic life 🥰
Standing so close, with him so relaxed, this is pretty huge. Can’t wait to show him how awesome human hands are for grooming 🥹
Every horse is it’s own process. It’s important to never put a timeline on them or their individual progress.
The pen he was in at pick up, he was a buddy/guardian to a yearling c**t.. with an aggressive palomino running everyone around, keeping the pen in a constant state of chaos.
Despite that, this guy was very aware of the dominant horse. Did well to keep himself and his buddy from getting cornered and beat on. When he had time to, he was inquisitive of the people at his pen.. would often be one of the closer ones to us…
I’m so excited for the future with this guy 🥹
On the first day, a few hours after unloading, we achieved our first touches.
He’s a nervous guy, towards the bottom of the pecking order… but still inquisitive. Definitely shows a lot of intelligence. We’ve had tons of licking and chewing through the process so far.
“Ok. I’m up here. Good stretch. Not scary.” 😮💨
“Would still rather not though”
Love expressive horses. 😂
They’re honest and you never have to wonder what they’re thinking!
So impressed with this little girls bravery 🥹🥰
Love a good minded youngster!
Regardless of your intended use, trail riding and obstacles are a really great way to build that important, trusting relationship.
This mare is BOLD.
Less than 60 days into training.
(This is not always the norm, however. If you’re looking to send a c**t to be started, we need 90 days to solidify the basics. And even then, even the best horses are still very green after 90 days).
This 3/4 y/o filly successfully conquered her 3rd time hauling out, and ALONE.
Building confidence and a trusting partnership is the main goal! The rest is pie once you’ve got that established.
Still have openings to get your c**ts started right!
The kind of ponies I try to turn out!
“Gotta be a good trail horse before they’re good at anything else.”

Love the analogies lol. Great way of explaining the proper use of spurs
*I did not train this mare**
I was fortunate enough to ride a finished mare at a two day reining clinic. There was so much to learn from this experience! There are always things we can add to our “toolbox” of knowledge and experience.
Hoping to encourage others to get out and ALWAYS SEEK TO IMPROVE!

An oldie Goldie I put some pattern work into. She scooted well enough to pull a check 🥰 cool mare fore sure!
Creating willingness through clear and fair communication.
Conquer all the scary horse eating bottomless pits, bridges with horse eating trolls, and so many more “monsters” 😂❤️🤠
A very small peek at what to expect from handy horsemanship..
Nice and smooth transitions using seat and legs, good whoa, handy turnaround, light and responsive willingness… creating connection and feel and effective communication, which creates a happy and willing partnership in your horse!
With “handy horsemanship” my goal is to put a handy foundation on every horse, and translate to the rider.
For a horse to be “handy” they must be versatile, with confidence, with a good understanding of how to use their bodies in effective ways.
I believe in being the firm, fair, and consistent leader that a horse would want to follow.
With my program, your horse will be on the right track towards many different disciplines, and be a steady trail companion.
I have studied horses and training as long as I’ve been able to ride on my own. This lifelong passion of mine goes beyond my time in the saddle.
I hope to educate and be a role model for the future cowboys and cowgirls, beginners, trail riders, competitors, and anyone looking to add tools to their horsemanship toolbox.
I focus on a western performance foundation. With reining ideals that will help you navigate trails, a barrel pattern, get your toes wet in reining, and more!
I focus on creating a willing partner with good work ethic. And believe your relationship has everything to do with your performance together.
Feel free to private message for scheduling and pricing or if you have any questions!
Happy trails y’all! 🤠
