Intro to the infamous scary saddle pad went 10/10! Here’s a small highlight 😆
Some of what I like to do when introducing new objects 👇🏼
💥What I do on one side, I do to the other.
💥If they go to leave, just move with them. (Within reason🤣)
💥Once they stop moving, release the pressure that was making them leave in the first place.
💥DO NOT SNEAK. If you’re sneaking around they’re going to wonder what’s so scary!
(Sneaking and being quiet in what you do are different things)
Juniper got all of her manners installed and essentials to be started. She goes home in a day to go gain some of that spring grass fat and finish out her growth spurt then we’ll get her started under saddle 💗
A memory popped up of three years ago getting this untouched yearling! (Finlay) This was his first day at “work” he became my husbands first project and he did GREAT he’s a natural 😉 even put the first ride on him!!
📌We picked him up still on his mom in a 12x12 stall and with a lariat around his neck wrapped all around his and her legs it was a HOT mess…bless the horses with minds to tolerate. ❤️
Miss Molly’s got the looks and the brains💅🏼 second work day was smooth as butter!
Coming from a filly who’s been basically left alone until I decided to buy her and she got halter broke and learned how to trailer two days prior to her 9 hour ride to me. I meannn. Not to shabby!! 😍
Doesn’t look like a big deal. But go inside of her mind. These two leggeds take you out of pasture and you go from not being asked much of..to being ask of MANY things all at once in a matter of days. Bless her 💕 me? I’d be probably kicking people and jumping out of the round pen. I would have had a broken leg by now😂
Well, he’s got spirit that’s for sure 🙃😂 this was after a few hours tied already.
Looks like it’ll be first one out last one in for you for a little while buddy..
♦️yes, he does know how to tie. Does he want to? No.
June hasn’t been asked to load since the day I got her (October) 🤣 I love her. It’s the small things. 🩵
Working on speed control. She would LOVE to get on the end of that line and show you some real speed😂 unfortunately, that doesn’t work. We gotta stay civilized sometimes. She says she’ll just long trot her heart out then💅🏼
Miss Rona got the lights and cameras set up today in her paddock. We’re getting close!! 🔜
Who doesn’t love a good baby cuddle. If you say you don’t ever wear pajamas in the winter to work horses…I think you’re lying. 😂
This filly is neat. 🌱
It’s the little things that make them glamorous later on. Couple days ago we were doing some hot laps and minor human dragging when I tried to mess with her left side. 🥲
Yay red mare🪻
ALSO❣️ name is finally decided. Meet Piper!
Buncha toots today with the cold front 😂 most mild mannered one was the wild red mare🤣 #aqha #groundwork #babies
Rain or shine…or snow. Gotta work the ponies💪🏼
Day two✌🏻 Worked on speed control lunging, yielding hind and forequarters, flexing, picking up feet and just over all body desensitizing.
She doesn’t seem to know a thing except she’d rather not be by you 🫣 day one for the red mare! Hopefully we’ll get that drag rope and halter off this week. Today it would be asking way to much to mess around there. #redmare #threeyearold
How we feel about it being Friday ⚡️😂
At about two minutes only a couple days a week..this filly has got it down pat. I can’t imagine how cool she’ll be once I have some serious time to spend with her once we get more daylight 😆 #aqha #bayroanfilly #smartlittlelena #peppy #cowhorse
His second time with this exercise. Not bad buddy!
With my crazy work schedule I’ve hardly got to handle the baby, she doesn’t mind a bit 😆🩵
Dare I say I’m gonna miss this mare when she sells?? I can’t say it’s been FUN in the moment to unlock her, but ultimately…it has been to look back 🪶 I think she’s well on her way to solid.
You know they’re getting sound when you don’t get on with their head craned around to your toes anymore. LOL 😂
ALSO look how big she’s getting in foal🥹🥰
