Day 7, Rue made a significant breakthrough. Her progress was remarkable, demonstrating both her eagerness to please and her dedication to the work. Tonight, we concentrated on refining her braking response, aiming for a quicker reaction. This focus is part of my broader goal to teach her to regulate her speed by responding to my seat and hand cues. Specifically, we worked on having her slow down in response to shifts in my weight and the lift of my hands. It's important to provide her with a clear signal before making a request; this way, Rue receives a warning and understands the upcoming cue, leading to a more precise and communicative response. Great job, Rue!

Taylor and Rue day.
Day 5
Get familiar with your rider, I have given some tools for a successful confident ride for them both. Right now more than anything this is a crucial part of their training. Learning to work with vs against your horse make the ride more enjoyable. Small steps are the big stride in the end👏🏼 Total praise to Taylor for working so hard and putting it together today. They ended their ride with teaching Rue to stop. She caught on and that was all the work to Taylor, she did that and I’m so happy for them. No more walking through the bit. I will continue to work on these things too but it’s been so beneficial for them to create their own success. Taylor loaded and unloaded Rue 🙌🏼 all them!! Rue also got a good rinse. Those will get easier as we go but she did very well. The less chaos we create while teaching new things keep the mind calm and responsive. That’s all we needed, was positive energy and that what we received in return. Listen to your horse they are telling you what they want.
Proud of those ladies today 🙌🏼
Hey Taylor 🫵🏼🪨 and I’m rooting for yall!!!

“Listen Linda” the more the horse is listening to you the easier training is.

The more respectful and responsive your horse is to your cues the easier everything is. When you ask them to perform a maneuver, expect it to happen now.

I want my horses to have some urgency when performing a task. If I engage a leg I expect them to move off of it. If I pick up a rein then there should be a response.

Demand more in other words help your horse be better, quicker, lighter, more responsive everyday. Just 1% better everyday adds up quickly.

Day 4 Rue❤️
A few weeks ago when I met Rue I watched Taylor ride, she expressed some things to me that she really needed some help on personally and for Rue. So that’s what we did today.
This afternoon Rue loaded and unloaded multiple times, stood at the patience post for some time while I worked the other horses, it lead to a trailer ride down the road and back, then I tied her and saddled her to get my arena drug up, about that time Taylor showed up. Did a little lesson and came together so great! I watched them work so well together, with some finesse in route we will see big moves on their part in just a few weeks, I am so excited for Rue and Taylor and beyond happy she got to experience the time I’ve instilled in Rue❤️

**DAY 1: Introducing Rue ❤️**

Today marks the beginning of Rue’s journey. Rue is a 6-year-old Quarter Horse mare, and we’re eager to see how she adjusts and evolves over time.

**Initial Impressions:**
Rue has already shown noticeable improvements in both handling and lunging within her first session. Her responsiveness and adaptability are promising signs.

**Training Highlights:**
- **Patience Pole Exercise:** Rue demonstrated a positive response to standing at the patience pole. She remained calm and composed, which is a good foundation for building trust and discipline.
- **Lunging:** Our lunging session proved to be effective in channeling Rue’s considerable energy. The exercise helped to relax her and brought a sense of calm. Given her high energy levels, we plan to use this to our advantage in future sessions.

**Next Steps:**
We will revisit these exercises later today to further assess Rue’s progress and refine our approach as needed. Our goal is to continue fostering her responsiveness while managing her energy constructively.

Overall, Rue is off to a promising start, and we look forward to seeing her growth and development in the coming days.

Go rue go!!
