Charlie graciously offered Mom Briana the last few minutes of his lesson. He said it felt so good riding that he wanted her to feel it too! #horses #dopamine #sharing
Definitely shower weather!
Paisley and Handy had a GREAT and growthy ride. They were both so proud of themselves. They enjoyed more time together with this after shower. Paisley didn't want to stop; neither did Handy. I finally had to turn the hose off. I was afraid the well would go dry!
In the silence beneath blindfolds, we find a trust that transcends sight. Between horse and rider, a bond whispers secrets only the heart can hear. 🐴💖 #graceandgrit2023 #TrustUnseen #blindfolded #horseandrider #horsesofinstagram
Everyone has a great time learning how to sign to the song American the Beautiful. Paisley did a wonderful job at teaching everyone how to sign along to the song. A lot of amazing things happened at our last day of Finding The Feel Workshop at Grace & Grit: Health & Healing Thru Horse-Human Partnerships in Erskine, MN.#graceandgrit2023 #findingthefeel #workshop #americathebeautiful #signlanguage #teaching #learning
Some of this past weekend's awesome "Finding the Feel" Horsemanship Workshoppers tried their hands very successfully at free-longeing while others intently made videos to learn from later.
Free longeing is such a good way for the handler to develop great body language awareness and control, and it's so good for the horse.
We are grateful to our sponsors for this 3-part workshop series, Northwest Minnesota Foundation, Thrivent Action Team Projects, and many generous private donors.

You are never lost when you find your way into the barn; it’s where the timeless bond between horses and people leads the way to understanding and connection. #graceandgrit2023 #bonding #barntime #horsesofinstagram #kidshavingfun #barnrats
Like a horse galloping towards its goal, sometimes the journey takes time. Set your sights, pace yourself, and embrace the rhythm of progress. #graceandgrit2023 #horsesofinstagram #settinggoals #embracethejourney #memories
Fostering a bond that flourishes with time, as we learn to feel each other’s rhythm and intuitively understand the needs of our noble companions. 🌿💖🐴. #graceandgrit2023 #partnerships #progress #GrowingTogether

What a peaceful way to start your morning. Seeing the beauty in these amazing creatures. #graceandgrit2023 #peaceful #morningview #morningdoneright
We are taking playing basketball to new heights!
This knucklehead got his feedtub stuck on one of his stall toys. Perhaps he was annoyed that he couldn't keep slamming it around his stall in his valiant effort to make as much noise as possible?
Those puppy eyes hie gave me usually work when he wants me to do something, and I also DID go free the tub. Until I realized that figuring it out for himself would be good for him, plus it would keep him entertained for a while.
When it was finally time for his turn out he handed me the bucket as he left the stall. As if to say "I did it all by myself. Didn't need you at all."
I. Got. This.
