Don't ignore walk work! The walk, being a 4 beat gait, allows you to have influence over each leg separately!

Don’t SPRAY a horse in the face! This could possibly cause them to rear, slip or fall down and get hurt! It is important to rinse the sweat off a horse’s face and head. If sweat stays on the face their hair will often fall out.

Cool water on their poll is also a great way to cool down a hot horse. Remember always towel dry their face after rinsing! Watch the video as I rinse a horse’s face that was initially very hesitant about it.

Half turn in reverse can give you more ‘runway’ when changing direction to come back to an exercise.

We had a great time at Revel Run in MI this past weekend! The weather was absolutely perfect. This is one of my favorite venues and a well run horse trial!

🥇Anabelle Friend and her home bred Tater CZ’alad won the Open Preliminary division!

🏆Carson Tazzioli (like ravioli LOL) and her Hey Siri competed in their first event ever for both of them and FODS for 5th in Beginner Novice. Hey Siri is for sale!

🥈Hannah Jones competed her Copper Penny to FODS for 2nd in Starter Rider.

🥉Christina Kelly switched the horses she brought last minute and brought the very promising 5 yo Fencer. They FODS for 3rd in Open Starter!

We had a couple other green ones show and they had lots of learning moments and will come to their next show more confident and better equipped.
Thank you to all the volunteers, owners, organizers and sponsors for hosting this show! We love coming to Revel Run!
