100% bummed I didn't get a video of this girls first lope! Big milestone hit! What a way to kick off summer vacation by learning to lope. So proud of how hard you've been working Ryliegh!

Although I didn't get a video from today (so excuse the older video)...the hardest part about teaching is having to say goodbye to students. Two out of the three kiddos in this video are on the move to a new state, and it's been a huge pleasure getting to teach those two amazing kids! Kono Equine wishes you the very best of luck in everything you do, and hope you have the most amazing new adventures you can possibly have in your new state! Safe travels and happy trails Will and Meredith!

After a good workout it's always a bonus to get a good rinse down👏

Kono Equine is super excited to send off this girl to her new home in Connecticut today! She has been with us for 3 years, but with us moving up and doing bigger things we thought it was only fair to send this girl to a home that would give her all the love and attention she deserves. She is beyond talented, so it was definitely fair she went to somebody that will use her for what she wants to do in life. She gets to live her best life as a best friend, and a trail pony. She is going to love her new home, and I'm so excited to get to see all the adventures her and her new owner go on together. Safe travels sweet girl! We love you and will miss you. We are excited for your new adventure!❤

Yall my girl is killing it. She has come so far! I'm so excited to start taking her to some races soon!💪

Kono Equine ponies got some new kicks! Thanks to the best farrier around for dealing with the kids😅. Minus 1 pony because she decided to be a turd face🙃.

Also I was 100% sure that this post made it...but clearly it didnt🤦‍♀️. I just want to take a second and express my gratitude and all my excitement for my kiddo and her pony, and my fantastic mare. I also want to thank the Sale Barn Cowboy Church team for a fantastic season. All your hard work never goes unnoticed!

At 9 years old this kiddo was able to win her very first saddle! All her hard work really paid off. She kept herself consistent all season for 2022. Kept her pony legged up without questions asked, took care of her, practiced every week (multiple times a week), and kept herself determined all season long. I am beyond happy for her, and extremely proud of her. I can't wait to see what she can do in the future, and where the horse world will take her.

To my amazing little bay💙
Thanks for being my partner. I wouldn't want to have won this with anybody else! You truly have a heart of gold, and I couldn't have done any of this without you. You and I have been together through a lot, seen each other through some hard times. Yet you always seem to take me to new levels. You truly deserve this win💙. I can't wait to see what 2023 will hold for us once your rehab is done!

Always remember that in and out of the arena...somebody is looking at you, and they want to be exactly like you. So please make sure you are always doing the right thing. Show good sportsmanship, GOOD HORSEMANSHIP, thank the people that support you (in and out of the arena), and always give the credit where it's due. Keep in mind that you will have hard days, but at the end of that hard time is always something exciting to look forward to💙.

Although its already February🤯...Im excited to watch my team of students take on 2023. Whether that would be competing or just to ride for the fun of it. Have an amazing 2023 everybody!

Rocky wanted to peek in on everybody to say happy Tuesday💙! Kono Equine took a small break in November to deal with some family events. We are still so grateful for the amazing clients that continued to stick with us during all the crazy!

11/09/2022

Love watching my students progress😍

10/13/2022

It's always a good day when you get to ride your favorite pony, do some ba****ck, and play some red light green light😅😍

10/01/2022

Taking it back and working on some basics are never bad! Its always a good refresher to work on leads, and transitions!

09/26/2022

Last show shenanigans 🤣. Im beyond proud of this tiny human and her pony Abby for doing such an amazing job all season. Now time to get them ready for the next😍!

09/20/2022

Cant wait to take this team out next season! Slow work is so important. This young lady is really starting to get her slow work down, and she rides so quiet. Which makes for a very happy horse!😊 SO proud of her hard work.

09/13/2022

It's been a wonderful 2 and a half weeks of vacation...but it was so nice to see my littles doing what they love to do after some time off!

Video 1: Ri has one more playday show to do and we are done for that series! I'm beyond proud of how hard she works and her dedication. She really puts 110% into all her practices. It's amazing to see where she started to where she is now. So excited to see where she goes, and what she does at the end of this series!🙌

Video 2: Little Ellie has never ridden ba****ck so we had to break that streak! She nailed her ba****ck! Although it was probably one of the toughest lessons she has had, she really pushed through and nailed some trot! She worked on her posture, light hands, and lots of leg to keep her boy going! We did lots of slow work today, but it was so worth it!

Video 3: So so proud of this young lady. She has really blossomed in her riding. From being so shy, and nervous to try new things... to riding different horses, having amazing posture, and quiet legs is the most amazing feeling! She is really growing in every aspect, and I am so excited to see where she goes in her riding career👏!

These kids work so hard, and I am so excited to join them on their horse journey💙! Some exciting news, Kono Equine gets to welcome a few new riders to the program! So excited and blessed to have them on the team!

I rarely get pictures of me teaching my students. When I do it definitely makes me happy. My students come with the best attitudes, and they are so willing to learn it makes my job fun🙌. Thank you Benjamin Barker for the photo!

08/09/2022

Gotta give lots of love to this big gentle giant for always taking care of my little ones! This big guy has taught so many first time lopes, and continues to teach them long after they are off the lunge line. These two little ones continue to impress me with steady lower legs, low heels, and a quiet hand and seat😍. I can't wait to see what these two can accomplish in the future!

08/04/2022

Love this little ones hustle and drive! We have had 2 lessons in a row with successful clean patterns. I could not be more proud of how these two are doing together!

08/03/2022

Absolutely can't forget to post this little gem😍! Her first time ever posting her trot. First posting trot day I like to encourage my students to get a good feel and rhythm down before I start getting picky about correct and incorrect diagonals. I find it helps my students a lot more, then when they finally understand the rhythm they can distinguish between the incorrect and correct diagonals with ease. Today was just day one for this little one, and I can tell she is going to do great things! Lots of smiles and lots of little giggles😄. Gotta love working with the littles!

07/29/2022

Look at that seat and that lower leg! Plus she has quiet hands😍🤌! Way to ride Miss.Ellie!

07/12/2022

This little had her first lope off the lunge line! So proud of her progress🙌. She has been working on a strong seat, and it is sure paying off! Cant wait to see more of what this kiddo can do!

07/01/2022

Another clean run for practice in the books!! So proud of this team!🙌 Can't wait to see what they do next friday and saturday night.

05/20/2022

Perks of my job! Not only do I get to work with some amazing people, but I also get to work with some cool horses to!🙌

05/16/2022

I absolutely love watching my kiddos succeed! With room for improvement, and first show back in a while, she had a pretty good day! One of her bigger goals was for her and her horse to place in the flat class because she knew she struggled in flat, and that is exactly what she did! With hard work this girl was able to place second in her class! So proud of them, and I am so so so excited to see what they can do at the next show! Congratulations Joc, so happy and proud of you kid!🙌

Kiddo update!👏

Video 1: We FINALLY had an amazing run through on poles. Keeping a nice clean pattern😍. Granted coming in and coming out were a bit wide...but the fact we kept all 6 up was a huge accomplishment for Miss.Ri! She and her pony Abby have been working so hard at keeping a clean pattern for the last 2 weeks, and she finally did it! Nice job Ri!

Video 2: It was so good seeing this kiddo back up on a horse again after some time off. She did absolutely amazing. It's like she never missed a beat. Now its time to start getting lead changes down 🙌.

Video 3: After a little hiccup on some confidence. This little rider knocked it out of the ball park and conquered some fears again. With the reminder of you can literally do whatever you set your mind to. She rode out one of our more stubborn ponies, and took everything like a champ. Im beyond proud of her for getting back up there and conquering her fear👏.

Video 4: This young man has been working on getting his strong posting trot down. We slowly started incorporating how to change our diagonal as well. In this video he is working on keeping a big seat during his sit trot🙌.

Video 5: Audrey is on her way to loping at the end of the month! She has been touching up on her posting, controlling speed, and circles. We are in the fine tuning stage before she starts her lope. So excited to see how she handles her lope!

So grateful for the opportunity to work with such an amazing tiny team! After a long day, so glad this tiny human got her ribbons from her first show. Second show went smooth! Definitely some things to work on, but so proud of how these two worked. She Definitely has some good competitors in her division....but it only makes her stronger! So excited to see what she can do this season!

These two sisters keep being little ROCKSTARS🔥! They conquered the big white horse all on their own today. The oldest is almost ready to lope (by the end of next month🤞), and the youngest one is working on keeping to the rail and steering all by herself! Way to work girls!

Happy Easter from all of us here at Kono Equine! We had some amazing lessons the past couple days (today included😊). It's been amazing to see the drive in these kiddos. They keep suprising me with their drive and passion. We've had all different types of lessons these past couple days from trot work, canter poles, and barrels! We can't wait to see what this next week has in store!
