Love what @__mmiiriiaamm__ and Bandit are accomplishing together! She's getting her leg in a lovely position, and finding her balance out of the saddle!
It's not a Saturday of lessons without a little Shepherd time! Josie has come SO FAR!
Love it! @__mmiiriiaamm__ showing Bandit how to do big pony things! Can't wait to see how far these two go!
Percy and Violet rocking it together!!! Bringing these two along together is so fun; they have a solid foundation to build on!
Ansley practicing with a cup of water too--don't spill!!! π
"I didn't spill any!" π Practicing for the fun class at the @smhja78 show this weekend! The "Spill 'n Thrill"!
Congrats to K on their purchase of Reno! He's so cute! Looking forward to lots of fun on this gentleman!
Crossrails group is in the arena! Such a fun group! π @mostateequestrian
Look at Cash and Shep go!!!! πWe've been working hard on cantering, keeping his pony organized in the gait and around the turns, as well as his body correctly positioned--now we add some jumps!!!!
Great work C and C! This course is all about TURNS: Step down in the inside stirrup and twist at the waist so that outside rein and outside thigh do the turning and keep the horse organized. Cara stays steady all through the course because the turning is consistent. ππΌπ
Get it girl! πππ
Riding straight lines over angled jumps. Great job Cash! Making it look easy!
Practicing some Jumper courses with my Hunter in prep for our March 23rd Jumper Night! Thanks @_kkdmcm_ for the footage and Barb for the course!
Working on that canter! Great job A and Ellie Mae!
If you have a horse that rushes a bit to or through the lines, I teach my kids NOT to just pull; instead, lift and soften in rhythm with their canter. The horse will not feel the tension of your pulling, and their stride will stay the same size down the line. (But be sure to keep your leg there so they don't break to the trot!)
Mr. Percy and V's first canter! πππ
Carley's first ride back on Mr. Riggins!!! Look. At. Them. π₯°π₯°π₯°
"That's really fun!" π
Fun little course we slowly built. Keeping a rhythm on course is HARD. Outside rein is your friend! Collins did a great job keeping a steady rhythm the entire ride, despite the turns, bounces, and long straight lines.
Bounce on an angle, change of lead, bounce on an angle...SO FUN. The horse and rider really have to THINK! Tests a LOT of skills! Good job C and C!
