Checking in, then the big release!
When the bugs are bad and it’s getting hot out Pria says it’s time to train her humans to give her a spray down when they fill the troughs. Not a fan of the flies at all. She’s a smart one and even poses herself to get the perfect spot🤣.
Don’t worry her fly sheet and mask came off immediately after this. Killed two birds with one stone and it allowed me to clean them off a bit too.
Getting to THE spot!
As we gear up for summer show season it’s a great time to schedule your horse a massage to set them up for greatness. Even if they are on the older side like this guy, as you can see they LOVE IT.
Pria finding some new moves and new ways to use her muscles💪.

Old man Blaze still keeps up with the ladies. Often right before coming in for evening grain he’ll take a little victory “gallop” to get everyone all excited. 30 years young!

Visible softening and relaxing on this guy.
Getting to the right spots here and notice how he completely softens and releases tension. Licking and chewing, nose wrinkles go away, lips hang a little, eyes start closing, and his head drops.
Just over 9 months of progress to get to this point.
I haven’t shown her trot poles since June(almost 6 months ago), yet she felt more balanced and calm than ever. The first time I did we were lucky to get a calm walk.
We’re finally reaching a sort of equilibrium with her body and mind. She’s really starting to show she’s connecting the dots on which muscles to use and how to better carry herself. Like she can trust her body to know what to do. Still tweaking things here and there with constant body work and hoof work. FINALLY we’re getting ready for some of the real work as we look ahead to show season.
More videos and comparisons to come!
