I could cruise trails every day of my life and never get bored …..heck why not ? 😎 I can’t wait to help more people combat their fears and gain the tools to be the best possible rider for their horse .
Thank you Etta Rablin for being the designated go pro wearer …and Sharon Adelman Reyes for bringing up the rear . Wow ! The transformation of these two riders this past year is incredible .

🔥Indoor trail course prep!🔥—-March 7th and 9th only . (Friday and Sunday ) No Saturday time slots . This is the very last obstacle course I will be hosting here. Some obstacles can be sold after . 😃
Our riding trails are becoming more popular with the general public …therefore our horses have to be prepared to deal with things “deemed unnatural “ along the way ! I always believe being prepared and exposing your horse to these “oddities” in a safe environment will set them up for success out in the real world . It in turn builds confidence in you and your ability to lead your horse !
What to expect :
Normal trail obstacles , bridge , small water box , dark tunnel , logs , tree bough dragging . Campsite set up , beach setup , bird in the bush ( a chicken in a cage in the bushes ) 😅.
Interactive portion : person on bike , person pushing a stroller , lawn tractor being driven , person walking dog , trekking poles, inflatable boat being carried . (Subject to change and additions! )
These are all realistic scenarios that you will very likely encounter at some point down the trail . I’d rather know my horses reaction and teach them ahead of time the correct response …opposed to taking the gamble out on the trail . I am willing to help and assist any rider/handler but this is not a clinic format. This can be in hand or ridden . March 7th/9th ….time slots are 9:00-11:00/ 11:00-1/ 1:00-3:00/ 3:00-5:00. for both days . Cost is $30 per horse and rider . 6 -7 horses per time slot max . If you want to secure a spot ahead of time please send a $10 deposit . Located in Mt.Angel OR . Message me to sign up and get the address!

It’s become a birthday tradition to go ride at the beach ….and the horses never let us down to have a good time ! Even though my time here in the valley is coming near an end …I have exciting plans in the works . My passion is helping people overcome fear through horses and providing riding experiences that are truly unique with these incredible equines. Stay tuned through future posts…😁😎

***Pending sale ***
Meet “Red” a 13yr old grade gelding standing at 14.2 hands . This guy could be your next all around horse . He has extensive trail experience and will go anywhere you point him . Obstacles don’t phase this horse …water boxes , flags , ticklers , tarps, dragging objects …he won’t bat an eye . Red hasn’t been much of an arena horse in his life but he can collect up and play the part ! He is a more forward moving horse …with a ground covering walk and powerful canter . I think he could make a wonderful endurance prospect ! He is light to leg aids and is responsive , so I would not consider him a beginner horse . He has impeccable ground manners …ties quietly, loads easily , great for the farrier, easy to catch , fly spray is no issue ….friendly with other horses . Red also has experience team driving to boot! (I can include video if needed) .

Quick trip over the pass for some winter riding in Tumalo OR. It was cold but the footing is great out there! Sun warmed us up quick . We rented a one room cabin …you’ll stay warm and be right next to your horses …with riding right off the property . I can pass along the info if anyone is interested.

An absolutely perfect beach day yesterday ! It was Sharon’s dream to take her Icelandic mare to the beach for a ride …and we couldn’t have asked for better weather in January !😎 Because it’s her first trip out , I always feel it’s best to keep it down to just two horses. The beach can bring out the racehorses! Sif the Icelandic mare was a champ …was not phased by much and kept trooping along. Silver is my new hot rod …he would have cantered that whole loop 2x over if I would have let him . I’m so excited for this change in him and his love of moving out …we both are happiest with wide open spaces to run free .

This little powerhouse of a gelding will make someone a great trail partner . If you love a forward moving horse then keep your eye on this one . He is very sure footed , crosses bridges , puddles and creeks without issue . He can lead and follow , I don’t get the sense that he has any concern for leaving the group or being behind . When you ask this horse to go …he says ok!! I feel an endurance rider would love this horse as he is also a comfortable mover in my opinion …great for long stretches of trot and canter without feeling like you have to work.
