Welcomed Emcee to the farm!🩷

What a beautiful girl!🥰She’s with me to be started under saddle.🐴

Levi and I have been riding solo on the trails…🥰He enjoys the being out in the open and getting out of the arena. I want to clone him for myself!🤣🤠

Started using the total contact saddle with Sapphire and I have to admit…. This is a great option to have! She’s the type that can “go treeless”. It’s way better to feel her rather than be off her back a few inches with a normal saddle, and because of that I feel way more secure on her! It’s a wonderful option for those who can’t seem to get a proper fit no matter what they try! 🤩ps. We are working with chiro and body work professionals to ensure she doesn’t get any spinal pressure or anything else that’s harmful. So far she seems to love it!🤩

Don’t mind my stained grey🫣🤍

But I can’t thank Katherine Tatar enough for caring about him just as much as me! Beside the dirt stains… he has maintained a nice weight this winter… and that is not easy task when it comes to Hooey. He is my special case.🤣

Levi got a little pasture clean up💩

He’s been doing so good! Working on his trot lately. We have a few strides of stellar trot here and there and I think that’s a great starting place for the boy!🤎🥰

Kaplan doing good boy things!💜

All that hair makes the boy sweat…😅of course if we had normal winter… it would be useful

Flynne is a new weekly sesh💪🏼🤎

She is quite the challenge in ways but she also will be getting handled more so I feel she will get better with more things as we go!

Levi learned this trick😆🥰

Took Levi for a warm up walk on the pathways, and outdoor at the farm. He seemed to enjoy the change of scenery.🤍❄️

Then finished off with a nice ride in the indoor. And yes I rode in sweatpants… it’s New Year’s Day okay!?🤣I was up late last night.😂

This weeks highlights✨

Working on loose rein with my boy. Working out some tension in this guy and testing his abilities on a loose rein, and non-reliance on the reins for commands! He’s doing wonderful at listening to my seat/legs and voice commands.✨

Fitting tack to Mr. Levi today!

Made some adjustments to his assigned bridle/bit. He was a gentleman!

May go with an English saddle(better fit) rather than western for now until he fills in the topline a little more, then evaluate from there! But he did still look so cute all decked out in the western tack so naturally I had to get a picture!🐴✨

This guy is tugging at my heart strings with how sweet he is.🥹🥰

Welcome Levi🧡

He’s a palomino Morgan! How unique and handsome he is.🤩

He’s with me for a few months and is already showing what a distinguished gentleman he is.✨

Prepping Sapphire for possible driving school in spring. She will have to endure all kinds of footing. ❄️

We’re also starting to drag the pool noodle. I have to get creative since I don’t have any driving equipment!

In the meantime, I’m continuing her fitness regimen, so I can continue saddling and riding without the saddle fit being funny. She’s made such huge strides this year in all areas!🩵❄️🩵

The babes!🖤🩶🤍

1 training stall available‼️Refer to photos for a glance at my day to day life.

I took a social media break… well kinda! Less active on social media I should say….☺️

I have one space available for someone looking to keep their horse in work/training for the winter! Sometimes I think starting a horse in winter is great, because by the time it warms up outdoors, they get mellowed out by the time winter is over. I specialize in starting the young ones… ground manners, ground work to get non-resistance(which helps trailer loading and many other areas), assessing physical abilities of the horse, and training to ride. However, I have knowledge in many different areas and can put additional miles on a horse to further their education. Although I prefer western, I do have some English discipline clients. Prices are pretty reasonable monthly, I did slightly drop price as I made a 2-3 month minimum. I require 2-3 month minimum depending on the horses training level, however you’re always welcome to do more if wanted or needed!

As far as care goes, you’d be very pleased! Full care(you supply grain if neeeded), 24/7 reseeded every other year 1st cut hay(meaning fantastic quality), cleaned and bedded spacious stalls, clean water daily, blanket/sheet or non-blanket option, maintenance(farrier, vet, massage, chiropractor, etc), use of my training tack as long as it’s fitted properly, and scraped pastures to level out the surface(minimal ruts).

I also can treat for non-serious issues. Like thrush, cuts, abscess, and other things. I consider myself an expert leg wrapper.🤩👏🏼I will supply and use my own wraps, tapes, poultices, liniments, and salves… as allowed by owner of course. Most importantly your horse would be cared for like my own!❤️🐴

Kaplan learning how to soften in his bridle! Not expecting him to frame up all fancy for me yet. As long as he’s understanding he needs to soften, I’m not worried about driving him into his softness yet. Baby horses need you to do one step at a time without asking too much at once! They have to know exactly what they did was either right or wrong. Eventually it’ll all come together… impulsion and softness. They’re essentially the same thing when it comes to horses movement.🥰

My day so far…🥰Two very good boys!🍁

Hooey went for a little property walk and Kaplan walked around undersaddle, without interference from me… just letting him figure out his feet with a rider.🥰

Part of good horsemanship is taking great care of your horse… therefore here I am offering CLEAN WEIN EQUINE SERVICE again🤣🤣🤣🤣(and utters for mares) Here’s my happy customers this fall so far with clean weins.🤣

Before that first snow hits, let’s make sure your horses have clean weins.🤣🧼🫧

I am all about being sanitary. Glove(latex free), soft cotton pieces, fresh sanitary bag, and Excalibur sheath cleaner for horses.

“Why should I have my horses sheath cleaned?”, you ask… well it can help comfort your horse while urinating and even while you’re riding in the winter it will be more comfortable when everything is moving around! Your horse will thank you once relieved of all the debris! ❤️

Reach out! $30 per cleaning. Also, if you are 30 miles from me I’d rather not drive 30mins a for 30 dollars so if you have multiple horses at your barn that want to be cleaned that’s when I’d go farther to make it worth my time. Thank you all! Get your clean wein before it’s too cold to do anything about it!🤣🥶

Making sure I can mount in every type of way, just another safety buffer installed on this dude.😂🥰

Chance got in a nice workout today! This fall weather is great for putting in work sessions! Not too hot, not too cold!🖤

I still have one stall available for training… and I’m still accepting new clients in the area! I work all seasons in all kind of conditions as long as it’s deemed safe for horse and human.🤠🐴

SLS Horsemanship is headed out west as of Monday for a week.✈️

If you’ve already prepaid me for work sessions/lessons, I will be extending the training for your horse. So no worries! I will see everybody the following week!🫶🏼
