We have some great horses in this month and we added one more this past Saturday.
This is Sophia aka "Designed by Hilfiger" who is owned by Ashley McCall. Sophia is trained in Western Pleasure but hasn't been ridden much over the past couple of years so she is here for a tune up.
We have some trailering issues we have to work through as well but just after our first ride, I can tell this girl knows her job. She is going to be a fun one 🔥
We have 2 new faces in for C**t starting & they are both cool little dudes 😎
🔹C**t Starting🔹
This is Theo owned by Brooks Mo and he came to us already having a good groundwork foundation but we still spent the first couple of days working him on the ground to make sure we were able to move his feet, yield and soften to pressure. The better your horse understands how to move his feet and yield to pressure on the ground, the easier it’ll be for him to do the same thing under saddle, which is evident in this first ride.
….so If You Want To See Bucking, Better Attend The PBR because this was an “uneventful” first ride and that’s how we like it! 💥
I start off by putting my weight into the stirrup and lean over the saddle and then step back down. You’ll notice he did move during this, that’s fine, I just pulled the inside rein and turned him in a circle until he stopped again. Since he accepted all of this without getting worried, I went ahead and swung my leg over and sat up in the saddle.
For the first ride, our main goal is to keep the c**t calm, and have forward movement. You do not want the c**t to “freeze up” when you get on, so if he tries to walk, let him.
The first ride doesn’t have to last long or accomplish a lot of maneuvers. You basically want the horse to learn to carry your weight and move forward when asked.
With training horses, always remember that every horse is an individual and will have different strengths and weaknesses. Our first ride went off without a hitch and I’m excited to see his growth while in our program 🐴

Boone is available due to no fault of his own. We need to open up stalls for our upcoming c**ts. He is WTC under saddle in a snaffle and picks up both leads. Bathe, clip and stands for vet & farrier. He has a great stop, roll back and working on spin. Boone is an overall athlete with beautiful movement that will get you noticed in the ring. He is a great minded horse, very laid back and will do any type of ranch work but he is excelling in ranch sorting and loves working cows. We have hauled him to shows with no issues. Great in a stall and will stand tied all day. Great in arena work and riding outside.
Boone is quiet, respectful, and easy to handle. He is currently 14.2h, barefoot, 100% sound, and UTD on all his vaccines and dental work. His price will increase as we continue his training and showing over the summer.
This is a NICE horse at an affordable price! Gentle, sweet and willing! You don't want to miss out on this guy.

Such a proud moment that even Jolene is cheesin for the camera🐴🏆🤠
It’s been a good weekend for the Helms family 🔥 today was Amanda’s first show and she brought in 2nd in the Amateur Yearling Halter Mare with our home grown filly, JH Freckled JoLena (Jolene) and 1st place and Circuit Champion in the Yearling Halter Stallion with our stud c**t, Cat Tacks (Cash).
Jaxon & Cole brining home a second place check! This was Cole’s first sorting which makes this even more special. Great job boys! All of the practice and training is paying off 🔥 5K Arena
Every time you sit in the saddle is a new chance for progress. Make the most of it
We don’t just ride horses around here 🐮
As a trainer, the main thing I want all my clients to know is that I care about the horses first and foremost and I will always go at their pace.
Just like people, each horse learns differently and pushing the horse to meet your human goals can compromise the horse’s confidence or even worse leave a hole in the training foundation which will later resurface. Being a good horseman means doing right by the horse 🐴
Sunsets on the farm are even more beautiful after a storm 🌅
Every horse has a natural progression in its training and that progression never stops as long as you don't quit. Make sure you and your horse are always progressing in the right direction
Happy Easter!!
Drum 🥁 roll Please!

Today we went to the Shamrock sort at 5K Arena it was a great show as always. Jaxon got a 3rd place in the beginner sort. Lucas got a 1st in the #6 and also winning the #4 incentive. I am very proud of the hard work these two are putting into practicing at home.
All of this rain we’ve had in NC has made everything a muddy mess, which limits our ability to ride. So take this time to be with your horse in other ways…whether it be groundwork, trailer loading, standing tied patiently, grooming or even just sitting with them while they eat in the pasture. Horsemanship and the bond with your horse goes beyond sitting in the saddle 🤠
Understanding what goes on behind the scenes always gives you more appreciation for what you see on the surface 🐴
Spring is in the air and it's time to get those ponies back in shape! JH Horsemanship offers 30-day tune-ups, 1:1 lessons, training/training board, as well as mini-clinics. Contact us so we can help set you and your partner up for success!
Jaxon is on fire!!

Too often I see colt starting videos where the horse is in complete panic mode once the saddle is strapped to their backs, running and bucking with fear in their eyes and by the end of their first session, they’re covered in sweat and heavy breathing. Now I’m not saying horses won’t have blow ups and you’re in the wrong if they do but there are practices you can take beforehand to make the first ride more enjoyable for you and the horse. We all want our horses to be a blend of calm, smart, brave and athletic and the way to get this result is by creating a provocative learning environment where he can continue to become more and more responsive 🤠 #jhhorsemanship
💫 Colt Starting 💫 Day 1 for Rip, owned by Meghan Fry He is a 2 y/o in for colt starting and nothing seems to phase this big guy. We saddled him up and rode with a halter to start and he did great so we introduced a bit and bridle. He likes to put everything in his mouth so he actually took the bit on his own when we put it in front of him. We let him wear the bridle for a while to get used to it. Then we ended with some fun by swinging a rope all around him and over his head..as you can see, he wasn’t bothered by it one bit 😂 #jhhorsemanship
🔹Colt Starting🔹 This is Theo owned by Brooks Mo and he came to us already having a good groundwork foundation but we still spent the first couple of days working him on the ground to make sure we were able to move his feet, yield and soften to pressure.

You found your community if you like horses, ranch sorting and western lifestyle 🤠 welcome to #jhhorsemanship
We don’t just ride horses around here 🐮
Who says cow horses can’t dance?🕺
You need to perfect the “dry” work before putting your horse onto cattle 🐮 ♦️ Practice backing, stops, rolls backs, moving off your leg, etc. But practice SLOW and CORRECT! Start these maneuvers at a walk then move to a trot and only add speed once you have perfected them at the slower pace. Adding speed is easy, fixing problems caused by asking for too much speed to quickly is very difficult. Be patient but most importantly, make it fun for both yourself and your horse 🐴
So you want to learn to work cows? Come out and join us at JH Horsemanship and I will teach you how🐴
