Do you haul your horses out enough?

How many times have you heard the phrase, "Well he does it perfect at home?"

Frankly, you don't have the same horse off site that you do at home.

Unless, you teach them how to work through the uncomfortable. A new environment is uncomfortable for a horse, it's outside of what they know. The tarps make different sounds, the boogieman lives in a different corner of the arena, and footing is a different shade of brown.

When in training, I haul horses a lot. They go with me to horse shows, other barns, the veterinarian, and even lessons with me, because yes I still take lessons.

Regular hauling is a good cure for trailering issues, lack of confidence, and finding holes in your horse's training.

How often do you haul your horses?

Those that came to Saturdays sorting here. Photographer gallery is here

I’ve been working on broadening my horizons and photographing new disciplines beyond the shows I’m used to. Every new event teaches me something different and helps me grow behind the lens. 📸💙

Here’s the gallery from the Team Sorting event at M&K Equestrian Center. Such a fun day to be a part of! I can’t wait for the next one.

First cattle sorting success! We had 23 riders today. And in the jackpot /shootout, while I do not know how many participated, I know they were ALL YOUTH teams ❤️❤️
Thank you all kindly for a wonderful kickoff to our season! Megan Marcus was also here as our photographer. We will post the link here when she has photos released.
Hope to see you all in a month.

Wait! What? Did our pony get attacked by a kid with crayons? Or did our very talented local saddle fitter Elevated Saddlefit, LLC come out to help his owners get and understand the best fit possible for this regal old soul? ❤️❤️

We were contacted by a very special organization a couple weeks ago, about giving some very special young adults a chance at working a job they might like to do or try.
We were fortunate enough to be called by Opportunity Enterprises for not 1, but 2! Young adults that thought they might like to try working in a horse/stable environment. Today was the day they brought 1 of those gentleman in. We met with Sam (caseworker/supervisor) and Jake (young adult) today. I am very impressed with the politeness and willingness to work and upbeat attitude of this fine young man.
At the end. Sam and I chatted and we were talking about “stepping up” and “giving a chance”. Jake was a fine example of a hard working individual who doesn’t see limitations (nor do we)
We look forward to working with not only him, but another individual as well.
Everyone deserves a chance. We have added OE to our list of places we have opened up to. As well as work study programs for school, community service through non violent offenders through the justice system, as well as court appointed hours for misdemeanors.
