Any of my friends looking for a beautiful brand new Master saddle. I just won this saddle Thursday. It does not fit my tank of a mare. It is a 14.5 and a 7" gullet it is a hybrid foam bottom. I would like to get as close to what the retail is or trade for another Master. Let me know if anyone is interested before I list it to the public
Lessons can be canceled by phone, text, or Facebook and must be canceled at least 24 hours in advance to be eligible for rescheduling. If you don't cancel or show up for a lesson, you'll be charged the full price. Also a reminder if you are late, the time starts at the time you are scheduled. And will not go over the allowed time.
Also, going forward, all lessons need to be paid in CASH and before the lesson begins.
Good morning, this weekend is the highly anticipated benefit barrel race for my family, and I sincerely hope to see each and every one of you there. You don't have to be an experienced horse rider or even own a horse to come and enjoy the exhilarating barrel race, so don't let that discourage you from joining in on the fun. The race will take place at Longhorn Arena in Mt. Vernon, which has plenty of seating, (we do bring our own comfortable chairs) delicious food and drinks at the restaurant, and an extraordinary array of exciting items to bid on in the auction. So, mark your calendars, saddle up, and let's make this weekend one to remember! Racing for Ray Benefit Barrel Race
This race will help our trainer Ray and our family with her medical bills. Please consider riding or even donating. There will also be a silent auction to help out!
Thank you so much and God bless! 🙏🏻💕
Mark your calendar now! A great fund raiser for Ray ❤️

As we enter Horse Show Season
1. Horses don’t get broke at home. Be brave and enter!
2. EVERY disappointment at the show is a learning opportunity..... Be humble, be open to change.
3. Everyone gets nervous. Everyone has bad days. Everyone makes mistakes. Literally: EVERYONE!
4. Don’t watch others in the warmup ring and start changing what you have been doing - if you see something cool or you want to step up your game that’s homework for after the show!
5. When we run out of knowledge, we often punish our horses. Seek help instead.
6. Be a competitor! But be a horseman first. There is always someone watching who sees you as a role model.
7. Supporting your fellow competitors and engaging with people will enrich your show life.
8. Know the rules of competition! Make sure your attire and tack is legal. Read the rule book, ask questions and be well prepared.
9. Have FUN, don’t sweat the small stuff!

This has been one heck of a year and we have been blessed beyond measure. We are looking forward to seeing what 2024 brings us as the door of 2023 closes and leaves us with an adventure and new opportunities.
Thank you to all who have supported us on this long journey and those that will continue on into the next. Our lesson program has been a major blessing to us and the horses. We can't get over how amazing and talented our students are. Can't wait to see what 2024 brings all of us!
Here's to a new year! 🥳🎉
🎠🏇🐎🐴
🍁🍂🍂🦃🍂🍂🍁
We are hosting a Thanksgiving camp for riders of all experience levels and age.
🍁🍂🍂🦃🍂🍂🍁
Learn about horse care: grooming, feeding, bathing and even horse first aid! Saddle a horse, learn about tack, and even explore different styles of riding! You'll find out interesting facts about the history, evolution and anatomy of the horse while picking up some horse lingo (did you know that horses are measured in hands?) and caring for and riding the horse you'll have throughout the camp session.
When not riding, you'll get to play games, make new friends and get crafty!
All of our camps are held on our 40+acres filled with trees creeks and wildlife, it allows the campers to enjoy trail rides and explore the countryside on select days of the camp as well!
Bring your own lunch and don't forget your bottle of water!! Depending on the weather, campers may eat indoors or down in the arena.
For riding instruction campers will be assessed based on experience and skill level:
Level 1: The basic seat, steering and riding technique at the walk, transitions from the halt to the walk and walk to the halt.
Level 2: Walking and posting the trot while staying centered and balanced. Ability to steer at both gaits and maintaining good control.
Level 3: Balanced canter, leg yields, headset and collection. Ability to regulate gait and ride patterns.
While campers are grouped together, each student is taught based on their individual skill level by our excellent instructors, prioritizing safety and fun while riding. Our teaching staff represents well over a century of training and riding experience, advancement is decided by the instructor who primarily considers the safety, skill and maturity exhibited by the rider. We encourage all our riders to set goals during their session and do our best to help them attain those, be it a first canter or a perfect halt from the walk.
Drop off and Pick up: Campers should arrive each morning between 8:45 and 9:00 AM. Pickup should be promptly at the end of the day . Your child’s safety and enjoyment at camp are very important to us. Being on time allows them to receive the maximum benefit of camp, and due to limited supervision after camp, it is important that they are picked up on time.
A good reminder that we ride all year long. The only weather occurrence to change this is lightning or excessive heat. 🌩️⚡. Please bundle up! 🥶 ❄️ ☃️
Please contact us if you would like your student to participate when we haul out. 🐎🦄
We will be having our FROSTY BUCKLE RACE SERIES at Longhorn Arena beginning January 6, 2024!
This really resonated today… this is a hard industry, people are hard to please, horses are easy to please but can’t be machines for people, the sport is not a fair playing field. Income plays a huge factor in many aspects, but…. If you’re willing to put in the time, stop making excuses about the horse or the tack or the judge or what have you… this sport is magical! It gives timid kids confidence, it gives troubled kids support, it gives over-confident kids humility, and above all it teaches compassion and kindness for the animals if done right. Enjoy the process and let yourself learn💞
Things your riding instructor wants you to know:
1. This sport is hard. You don't get to bypass the hard…..every good rider has gone through it. You make progress, then you don't, and then you make progress again. Your riding instructor can coach you through it, but they cannot make it easy.
2. You're going to ride horses you don't want to ride. If you're teachable, you will learn from every horse you ride. Each horse in the barn can teach you if you let them. IF YOU LET THEM. Which leads me to…
3. You MUST be teachable to succeed in this sport. You must be teachable to succeed at anything, but that is another conversation. Being teachable often means going back to basics time and time and time again. If you find basics boring, then your not looking at them as an opportunity to learn. Which brings me to…..
4. This sport is a COMMITMENT. Read that, then read it again. Every sport is a commitment, but in this sport your teammate weighs 1200 lbs and speaks a different language. Good riders don't get good by riding every once in awhile….they improve because they make riding a priority and give themsevles opportunity to practice.
5. EVERY RIDE IS AN OPPORTUNITY. Even the walk ones. Even the hard ones. Every. Single. Ride. Remember when you just wished someone would lead you around on a horse? Find the happiness in just being able to RIDE. If you make every ride about what your AREN'T doing, you take the fun out of the experience for yourself, your horse, and your instructor. Just enjoy the process. Which brings me to...
6. Riding should be fun. It is work. and work isn't always fun.....but if you (or your rider) are consistently choosing other activities or find yourself not looking forward to lessons, it's time to take a break. The horses already know you don't want to be here, and you set yourself up for failure if you are already dreading the lesson before you get here.
7. You'll learn more about horses from the ground than you ever will while riding. That's why ground lessons are important, too. If you're skipping ground lessons (or the part of your lesson that takes place on the ground), you're missing out on the most important parts of the lesson. You spend far more time on the ground with horses than you do in the saddle.
8. Ask questions and communicate. If you're wondering why your coach is having you ride a particular horse or do an exercise, ask them. Then listen to their answer and refer to #3 above.
9. We are human beings. We make decisions (some of them life and death ones) every day. We balance learning for students with workloads for horses and carry the bulk of this business on our shoulders. A little courtesy goes a long way.
Of all the sports your child will try through their school years, riding is one of 3 that they may continue regularly as adults (golf and skiing are the others). People who coach riding spend the better part of their free time and much of their disposable income trying to improve their own riding and caring for the horses who help teach your child. They love this sport and teaching others…..but they all have their limits. Not all good riders are good coaches, but all good coaches will tell you that the process to get good is not an easy one.

Thanks

Jester joined Glitter and Kait on Sunday at the NBHA MO 02 race. It was his second outing and he did absolutely amazing even with all of the commotion happening around him. He did everything that was asked and was an absolute dream. 💕✨🏇
He stole Glitter's Designer pad from Hot Headstalls , I'm not mad about it. It sure looks good on him, hehe.
(10/01/2023)
We've had a busy busy busy summer!
This weekend Kaitlyn and Glitter won top of the 3D slot for NBHA in the state of Missouri! This is Kait's first buckle. Glitter won 8 checks in total and one of which was for first in 3D Youth with a little girl who borrowed her for a round, her first ride on a "big barrel horse". Congratulations! 🎉 👏🏼
🥫🏇💨
Thank you NBHA MO 02 for having us! You guys are so amazing, we love our NBHA fam!!!
💕💕💕
We will have a few stall and pasture openings for board within the next few months. Please pm the page to reserve a spot. Located in Bolivar.
Glitter-bug isn't too enthused about being in the heat while her rider is all gushing over her new saddlepad. 😪🥵🤣 Thank you queen for being a good sport. 💖
✨
Absolutely in love with our new Designer saddlepad from Hot Headstalls . It is the high cut wither pad and fits this old lady's pointy withers and dippy shoulders super well, which is something we've been having issues with when looking at pads! It also pairs perfectly with our LV tack set from Janice’s Halters and more ! Thank you both for the amazing tack. Love the quality and hoping to fill my tackroom up with both brands soon. 💖
✨
I do have two bridles from HH that I am eagerly waiting on, hehe. They are very fitting for the naughty ponies of the bunch. 🤣 Will post those on Nostalgia and maybe Jester once they arrive, so stay tuned!
🥫🏇💨
Glitter's run from this weekend was amazing! I keep forgetting to update about the races, so I'll start now 🥴😅
We ran for NBHA MO 02 's series and this weekend's race was at the Walnut Grove Saddle Club . Glitter and I took home four checks together!
✨✨✨
Glitter also placed first with one of our students in the Peewee class!
✨✨✨
We also ran on Tuesday at Everton Saddle Club for their series and took home a check as well.
For those of you trying to contact me, I am not responding to my messages right now. I will be at the WhiteHart Renaissance Faire all weekend weather permitted. You can always come find me and talk to me. 🙂 🏇🏹🎯
June is an extremely busy month for me. NBHA Races and White Hart are taking priority 💜
🐎🏹🎯
Mounted archery with...
No bridle.
No saddle.
=
✨ No problem! ✨
There's still tomorrow to come see us this weekend, as well as next! Our performance times are at 11 am and 3 pm! Located at the WhiteHart Renaissance Faire in Hartville, MO!
👑 King George will be attending tomorrow 👑
Made three more sticker designs. Will add a phone number for lessons before they get to the printer, but there's the base for them!
One for King George 👑 and one for Cutter Bugs 💎. 😍🥰🐴🦄
Sanguine has found a perfect home! 💕🐎 BraveHeart is still looking for his! Please pm me for more info or to come see him for yourself!
(Edited to add. Andromeda has been rehomed).
King George had his first archery session yesterday and he did well enough to immediately move into bridleless. 👏🏼✨🐎💅 He said, "I got this kid. Lemme do my job." I'm very excited to be able to debut him in a couple weeks. Cutter won't be carrying all the weight this time 💕
🐎 We currently have four horses available. 🐎
🐴 Jester: ✨Paint - 10 years old - 15.1hh ✨
Has had several months of professional training under saddle. Slide stops, does rollbacks. Working on a spin. He moves amazingly off of seat and leg. His trot is great, very forward and floaty. Good with transitions for different gears in his trot. Has a smooth canter, but needs leg since he can be lazy picking it up. He loves being out on trails and is an exceptional arena horse. He’s been around cattle and we've swung a rope off of him. We've shot a bow off him, crossed water, logs, dragged things behind him. Have worked with tarps, pool noodles, yoga ball, small crossrails. Will stand tied for hours, lunges, stands for farrier. We have all of his vet records. He’s an exceptional all around horse and with direction per my trainer, he’d make an amazing sorting, reining, speed event, or even a fancy horse to hit the trails with. We hate to sell him, he's been with us for six years now and we absolutely love him, but he would thrive much better in a home that puts his skills to use. Requires an experienced rider due to how sensitive and reactive he is to leg.
📸 I have tons of videos and pictures of him. Open to PPE’s as well.
🐴 Andromeda: ✨Mustang from Little Owyhee HMA - 12 years old - 16.1hh ✨
She is such a blast to work with! Currently the head horse in our lesson program as well as one of the mounts used for archery, liberty, and tricks. This girl is amazing and can do it all. She moves off of seat and leg and has a quick stop. Gentle enough for the younger kids, yet bold enough for a step up mount for the older kiddos or an adult. She is great on trails, easy to steer and fun to be around. Knows the Spanish walk and currently working on half steps for a piaffe as well as a bow. She is learning basic liberty work and trick stunts.
🐴BraveHeart: ✨Mustang from Devil's Garden HMA - 3-4 years old - 14.1-2hh ✨
Perfect project for anyone wanting to dip their toes in the water with mustangs. The hard part is already out of the way and he is gentled. Just needs someone to start him undersaddle and will make an amazing riding horse!
🚫REHOMED🚫
🐴 Sanguine: ✨Mustang from Stinking Water HMA - 3-4 years old - 15.3ish hh ✨
He is next in line to be gentled out, but can be adopted beforehand to be started yourself. We are partial to this guy and will be sad to see him leave, he has so much personality and talent! ✨

Day 1 and 2 of working with Cathedral. This sweetheart is such a precious soul! 😭😍 I'm already in love with him. His teeth show that he's still pretty young. If he's around 2 and hit 17hh already, I can only imagine how big he's going to be once he finishes filling out. 👀🤯 He might surpass my 18+hh red dragons, which is absolutely insane for a mustang to be this tall! 🕍🐎🏹 If I can gentle him out pretty quickly, I may be bringing him to tag along at Ren faires to get him experience hauling out! ✨👏🏼 Follow us on TikTok ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRWogtk9/
Bow and Cathedral are finally home! They got in pretty late last night. I am so happy to have them home safe and sound and super excited to start working with them! 💜🐎🙏🏼 Of course I had to work today, so I snuck in the barn before and got my first touch with Bow! He was very curious about peanut butter toast 🤣 Looking forward to playing with these two.
An oldie from last summer with BraveHeart's first ride.
Got notice from my friend who is picking up horses for me that Cathedral is a grulla roan! How exciting! I knew it would be like opening a Christmas present with him since the BLM changed his color on his listing from the one he was branded as 🤣 Originally buckskin, and switched to blue roan when on the IA. 🎥 Video courtesy of Vivian Tongyai 🖤

👑🐎 Of course I didn't want to stop working with the queen after the war bridle came off. We did some liberty work together and practiced her Spanish walk with snapping fingers instead of a whip.. then took a massive leap and decided to hop on her bareback and bridleless. We've been fighting the mounting block ever since I got her.. She's terrified of them and has refused to go near one all but one time until today. Halter less.. and super willing. It felt right to slip right on her in the moment. She told me she was ready and placed her trust in me. So I took that big step for the two of us. 😭🥰 I am so proud of this beautiful lady and how far she's came! We are one step closer to achieving my goal of bridleless mounted archery together. 🏹🐎 For those that don't know her story. When she got here she was very closed off towards people and extremely timid and flighty. Anything could trigger her and cause her to plow right through people and animals. She didn't like things touching her legs.. things that stood up a certain way. People that moved too quickly or touched her in the wrong spot. She never meant to hurt anyone, she was just scared. It's taken her awhile to be able to learn how to trust people and I'm thankful to witness her opening up. 💜✨
Cutter got to watch the jousting horses perform at DragonFest and he told me he's thankful he's a western pleasure horse for his normal life and has a part time archery gig with me. 🤣 He says, "Those draft horses running with sticks at each other are quite silly and dangerous." hehe. 🐎🏹🐉⚔️
Cutter and I performing bridleless mounted archery at DragonFest last month! (This is during the beginning of our performance to show "normal" riding with his bridle.) 🐎🏹🐉⚔️
Here is a video from 2022 DragonFest! Cutter and I performed bridleless mounted archery as openers for the jousting team and live action ground fighters. ⚔️ I had so much fun with it and I'm looking forward to the next Ren faire or place to perform. Will be slowly posting videos and pictures since Facebook will only let me post one video at a time. Idk why 🤷♀️
🏹🧡🐎🎃
👑Queen Andromeda learned how to add steps with the Spanish walk this evening! 😍 I'm so proud of her! She's taking everything in so quickly. It never ceases to amaze me how smart mustangs are! She looks and acts a lot like an Andalusian.. It's very homey for me to be working with her. Very nostalgic and it reminds me of working with my trainer's Andalusians in California. 👑🐎 We are preparing for Andromeda's first Renaissance faire October 15th. We will be demonstrating mounted archery as well as a performance with her tricks. This will be the first Ren faire that I will be riding in! How exciting! 🏹⚔️ Follow us on TikTok for more horse updates and short videos! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ @MisfitsWithHart https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTR53aHKD/
