Chief is a 4 year old gelding in for a tune-up on the pattern. He was going by his turns, not giving to pressure and lacking confidence.

We’re instilling confidence and showing him that the release is being closer to the barrel. He’s already showing that he wants to work! 🤩

Can’t wait to see where this athletic gelding is at the end of 30 days and what he and his rider accomplish!

A visual representation of the effect ground poles (traffic cones 😂) have on how your horse carries itself. Ground poles help your horse to shorten their stride and collect by lifting up their abdomen/back. This helps them build muscle, use their bodies correctly and drive their hind legs up under themselves.

This is also beneficial in busying-up simple tasks for busy-minded horses, communication and desensitization.

Alive With A Legacy, Legacy, born in April and looking sharp with her ground work already! Minimal pressure and a quick release makes for a willing and light response.

The timing of the release is very critical. When you ask, you should release when they commit to movement or as soon as they start to ‘give’. If you release the pressure after their head is where you’d like it, their first instinct is to take it back. I do the same thing with teaching them to back, once they commit to moving their feet backwards, I release. If you keep holding the pressure before they understand, their instinct becomes to push back on the pressure.

If you have questions regarding techniques or methods I share, please message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. 😁

I haven’t posted a lot of slow work on the pattern, but I thought it would be fun to show what it looks like!

Cookie, my personal mare, is gearing up for some winter runs. She likes to rate early by doing so she slows her feet and shortens her stride losing a lot of momentum. My goal was to free up her feet and keep forward motion by allowing her to leave the turn straight.

Here’s one of the things I find important in my ground work. I like to teach them to move not only their hindquarters, but also their forequarters. This builds onto side passing and pivoting in the saddle. My goal is always to get a response with the least amount of pressure possible.

Happy Sunday ☀️

Here’s an update on 2 year old gelding, Ranger, with less than 20 rides under his belt.

In the first clip, you can see that my hands do not move. He’s turning solely off of foot cues! 🤩

The second clip shows getting Ranger accustomed and comfortable with changing directions and maintaining his gait. He’s also stopping on my seat with no use of the bridle.

Here’s your daily reminder to get your performance and young horses out of the arena!

Let them enjoy a day doing something other than training and roping. It can do amazing things for the mindset and maturity.

A few videos from this spring of a friends horse I trained to stop solely on cues. She came to me very lightly started, by the end she was nailing flying lead changes, side passing, pivoting, and stairs!! 😅

Ranger 5th ride
Ranger 5th ride

Ranger is a 2 year old gelding in to be started. This is only his 5th ride! My goal is to get them out of the round pen/arena as soon as possible at any age when being started. Their mind is as open to learning as the space they’re in. The smaller the space, the more confined their mind is.

Raven is nearing the end of her time here, when she arrived she was extremely buddy sour and refused to leave her friends. Here she is being rode in a halter and lead rope. She’ll be enjoyed by her family with littles when she goes home 🩵

Jiggs really got the hang of things in 60 days—she came in unstarted so they weren’t 60 riding days. I love seeing young horses start to develop!

Another one that’s home bred and raised, Alive With Trouble “Soldier” 🇺🇸

Ninth ride for Jigs included watching some roping and pushing the steer back!

Jigs’ 7th Ride
Jigs’ 7th Ride

Jigs came in for 30 days to be restarted. She needed an extensive amount of desensitizing and ground work, but it is all paying off! Taking your time with ground work makes a major difference in a young horse correlating what they know to something unfamiliar. Jigs is already learning to cross over and pivot in just 7 rides!

Cookie’s third place run today in Algona!
