MT Pockets Horsemanship- Lessons & Training

MT Pockets Horsemanship- Lessons & Training Helping riders accomplish their goals and make safe 'n sane mounts. 🦄 Welcome to MT Pockets (Empty Pockets) Performance Horses.

I learned to break out and train horses under the supervision of Mike Simmons at M&L Ranch in Wisconsin for about 5 years. My mother supported my dreams and I showed at the Open Show and State 4-H levels for 10 years with a horse that has more heart than natural talent. I fell in love with Showmanship, Horsemanship, Equitation, and Trail. Once I was riding under M&L Ranch I learned to enjoy wester

n pleasure and Hunter Under Saddle. My goals for myself and my up and coming horses are to show at the AQHA level for Showmanship, Equitation, Ranch, and Reining. My main goal here as trainer is to help rider and horse accomplish their goals and then some. The best feeling is watching a team you help creative succeed in the world. I would consider my training to be more pressure and release, but also I bring in positive reinforcement. I am constantly learning new ways to better assist and train each horse. No two horses and two riders are the same! The most important word ever is Whoa, if we don't have a whoa then we go back to the basics. Thank you for taking the time and checking my page out, any questions do reach out!

I'm very much an inside person when it comes to the extreme cold we get, but when it warms up, I try to get out and take advantage of the snow.

Work on backing straight/circles, sidepassing, walking perfect circles... the snow will hold you accountable. It's great to get in those ba****ck rides to help your balance and feel when cueing your horse and a perk of keeping your butt toasty.

Just because I'm done giving lessons for the 2024 season on my provided horses doesn't mean I'm done with coaching/teaching!

If you are looking for someone to help you through the baby stages with your new weanling, help getting your horse ready to be put under saddle, coaching through your first rides, getting better communication to help you hit the spring show pen, please reach out!

I'm more than happy to meet you at 406 Arena to give lessons with you and your horse. 🤠

This spring, we will be welcoming Doc as another lesson horse while Beth is on her well deserved maternity leave. Doc will be for our "step up" kiddos who are trotting on their own and possibly ready for the lope. 🐎

Lincoln came with Itchy for 2 months to stay legged up while their owner healed up from an injury.

She needed a lot of help with controlling her legs. She'd fast trot and lope, hoping they would be under us. She came so far with her trot/lope turning it into something comfortable and controlled. Her neck reining excelled after the first week, and she caught right on to it.

I'm going to miss having these girls around.

Sidenote... video was done by Bradley so it's a tad chaotic.

Itchy came with another mare for 2 months to stay legged up while their owner healed up from an injury.

We worked on building alot of confidence with a scary environment and being okay with a "loud" "busy" moving rider. She was jumpy if your leg bumped her wrong. We spent a lot of time learning to control our body and slow ourselves down at the trot and lope while neck reining.

Enjoy a bridle-less ride on Wyatt with me!

Sometimes he's just too Cool N Frosty for his own good. 💙

Wyatt stepped up and helped Haylea make lemonade after her mare went lame before her State 4H Horse Show.

They got 8th out of 30 in Western Equitation.

Wyatt is truly the best. 🏆

Zeus left after a mini 2 week pony boot camp. Worked through the pony scare tactics, and he found out I'm pretty sticky and his bucks weren't worth the extra calories burned.

I worked on settling with him, giving him confidence ehile under saddle, and rating himself back without a battle. Hopefully, he continues making good choices with his young 4Her.

Miss Faith after just a month here, when she first got here, I could barely get my leg over before she was ready to go go go.

Now she loves to drop her head and walks relaxed, the trot has some ways to go, but very impressed with her progress we made.

She might come back for another month to work on the lope, but we will see how she does with her owners over the next month or so.

Guess these never posted.

Fancy left last week after a 2 month c**t start. She left a calm, collected 3 year old that is ready to get some miles put on with her owner.

She's already competed at 2 shows this summer with her owner and they made huge improvements.

Excited to see the adventures they have.
