My students learning how to work with horses and my training horses learning how to be handled from different people. 💕

Janey spent 7 years being feral with no hoof care. It has been a year with regular farrier work since then, but it would take 1-2 hours to get through a trim. She has learned how to properly stand and behave for the farrier since coming to me. It was discovered that she needs corrective shoeing to relieve chronic pain from years of imbalance. Here, I am preparing her for her first set of shoes this week. This was the first time I pulled the shoe and hammer out and you can see how relaxed she is even on a cold, windy day. Her owner did a great job working with her as well! 🤗

Playing catch-up on posting training videos.
This was from Olivia’s first ride last week.
The round pen was too wet, so this is the first time I’ve started one in the arena.
Olivia did amazing!
Another reason why I’m such a believer in preparing them properly with groundwork! Even though this is her first ride with no ground help, and in the arena at that, she already understands how to move out, steer, and back up! 🙌 **tstarting

Janey has made such great progress!
She has been easy to catch and work with for me, but her owner requested I test it with different people since she was very reactive and untrusting of new people handling her in the past…
I teach groundwork lessons to a couple of my students, so I had them go out and catch her for the first time, then we continued to build her confidence with the saddle and front/back cinch.
Though she is technically broke to ride, she was very nervous of the saddle along with any pressure or handling while girthed up and her owner described her as a “ticking time bomb.”
This was her third saddling with the back cinch where she hasn’t bucked and she has shown so much improvement!

Olivia, the 3 yr old Tennessee Walker, had her first saddling today!
I first did some prep work and made sure she was comfortable with pressure around her girth and flank and when she was giving me the green light, it was go time for the saddle.
She handled everything so well!

Janey had a case of Mondayitis and was scared of my vest, so enjoy watching me blow out my knees while working with her. 😆

Duke is going home in a couple weeks and I’m truly going to miss this boy!
He has been the easiest and most sensible horse I’ve had the pleasure of starting under saddle.
Thank you, Sarah Magner for trusting me with such an amazing guy! 💕
