I got nothin new for obvious reasons 🤰🏻
I’ll be digging up some throwbacks to keep the page going🌱
This is Rocket. A 4yo mustang that was in for 60 day start This one is unique in my book. When I went to pick him up he was unhandlable, not in a spooky way but in a crawl in your lap and then cowkick you on the way by when he was done way😂 WHICH is worse in my book lol. He was the first and only horse I’ve had to work with and make sweat and use his brain before we could even load and get home…otherwise, there was no loading him or handling safely. In a matter of days he became a different critter. Safe and quite enjoyable to be around really 😍 super cute good minded little gelding.
I could see the hype around mustangs with him around.

Potential hot button topic, hobbles!
Do I teach my own? Heck yeah. Well, the sane ones. I don’t set anyone up for failure 😌 For example…Im not gonna go hobble a yearling on his second day being handled or a hotheaded mare who blows at any and everything 😮‍💨😂

A break from schooling under saddle today 🤠

The story goes, you get a different horse (especially c**ts) in each new environment. True enough, but if your foundation is good they’ll always come back to you and find that thinking brain 😉🤎

I’ve spent a solid seven days with this guy. And not granny miles, he got hard wet saddle pad and body miles 😂 I think for the first time in his life he got treated like a real c**t this week lol.
Went on trots up the hill, cruising loping miles for confidence, arena trip, collection work. Whole shmo. You’re three now Waylon, it’s time to get broke for reals 😎😍

Unfortunately, we will not be seeing my personal mare Miss Molly around my barn after this week. Made the HARD decision to sell her back to her breeders due to me expecting a baby of my own this summer. The thought ran through my head to offer her to the public…buuut…
~She’s taught me SO much even just as a yearling. She’s WAY to fancy and gets bored to sit at my barn and wait on me to be ready 😉 hopefully our paths will cross again😍

Day two third saddling 🕺🏻
Did a lot of homework today, worked up a sweat!
Flexing, following her nose, sending, backing, working all three gaits both ways, desensitizing by me flopping by her and flopping the gear😂 she isn’t a giant fan of loud and annoying. Who is?🤣
We’ll get there 🤠

Miss Molly, aka “Sassy Blue Chex”

Been feeling awfully brave. Let’s post another controversial topic. Positive reinforcement or negative reinforcement? What do I use? I’d say negative. I truly and honestly feel it makes a better horse. Now I’m not talking about cowboy Bob starting c**ts whip and spur. I’m talking mutual respect and boundaries being set. Being black and white with the training. Coming into my bubble will have uncomfortable consequences. Treats have their place, they do. Don’t get me wrong. But not for every day use and training. I’ve found it makes a pushy, insensitive and expectant horse. I want my horse to be with me as a team, not because he expects a treat every decent behavior he has.
At the end of the day, the biggest reward is always just being left alone period 😂
