WB Performance Horses Very small operation - - me

I am blessed to be able to have grown up with horses in my life - I was raised with awesome (old style) Morgans, moved to hunter/jumpers on the east coast and also in southern Cal, where I bred, raised and showed some very nice warmbloods for years before getting involved with cow bred quarter horses. I have been breeding/training and riding my cow breds in the arena as well as on the ranch check

ing cattle and fences (SO many fences! ) for about 25 years now and still feel amazed that I get to do so-
Teaching riding is one of my all time favorite activities - it is not an easy feat to get a roughly 1000lb animal to understand and move to your will in a soft, easy manner - helping someone reach that communication level is amazing. I also enjoy helping people find horses that work for them - buying a horse is a large and sometimes life changing experience - finding out that the horse is NOT going to be able to do what the buyer purchased him/her to do, be it because of conformation, temperament or difficult prior training is disappointing at best - tends to frustrate the new owner and potentially puts yet another horse back into an already saturated market - my experience has proven to help new owners purchase horses that FIT the level and goals of the new owner -
My emphasis is on safety and horsemanship - gaining a 'feel' for the horse and always working towards trust and understanding.

I loathe putting hay in a hay net but Angeline is a terrible waster so a hay net helps negate that... somewhat 😒
But the battle to get the hay IN the net is beyond maddening 🤬 scrolling through FB reels one day, I saw one where a gal used a big laundry bag with metal hoops and I was like, 😳😍🥳 ... until I tried it - my laundry hoops were too small, it clogged and the whole thing went south - then, I tried this empty trash can (never used for trash - just feed) and VOILA!! I can put a large amount (I call her the behemoth for a reason 🤦🏼‍♀️😂) of hay in the net with zero fight 🥳👍🥳
I don't remember the gal who first showed this technique on a reel - but I sure appreciate her 👍🤗

In my early 20's (soo, roughly a thousand years ago 😒😂) I was at a meeting about horses. Unfortunately, most of the people in the meeting were city people with no clue about horses - but of course, they talked anyway 🙄
The woman I was there with dropped a word bomb that completely silenced them, and me, for a few seconds. No one questioned her because NO ONE wanted to admit they had no clue what she was talking about. The word was, 'anthropomorphic,' and it basically means to attach human feelings to animals, in this case, horses. Like when someone from the city drives by your place, sees your horse, hip dropped, dozing in the shade of a tree and says, 'he looks so sad.' 🧐🤔 and you're thinking, 'I doubt it, SHE is full, content, and probably deciding who to beat up next.' DAMMIT BARISTA! 😳🤦🏼‍♀️😂
But! If you HAVE been around horses and paid attention, they are pretty dang expressive. Every horse owner knows the, 'YOU'RE 1 MINUTE LATE FOR BREAKFAST AND I AM STARVING!' Ultra desperate (and ridiculous 😑) expression. If you've foaled out mares, they can get this introspective expression, I call it, 'looking inside themselves.' I don't know what is going on, foal shifting, abdominal cramp... gas.. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂
This mare in this pic, 'looks sad,' according to one commenter. I tend to disagree, to me, she has the introspective, 'looking inside herself,' expression -
Would like to know what do you think her expression is about? ❤️🐴

Ms. Money Shot was checked 'not' in foal to Frosted Kisses a bit back - definitely disappointed... but, I have owned this mare for some years now and have never seen her carry this larger, lower looking abdomen 🐴🧐🤔🤔
I might need to get a re-check 😳

This is why (me and the ones I know anyway) horse breeders do what they do. The desire to be involved (by deciding certain stallions to certain mares) in putting horses out that go on to do well whether they stay home or move to different homes. I wasn't the breeder on this mare in the picture. I bought her dam (Nukes) while she was in utero. Sold her as a started, but never backed, 3 year old (roughly) to Lindsey and am always delighted to see these pics of them working together.
This, is why 😍🐴🤗
(This mare is the absolute image of her momma 😍🐴😍)

We all know, this matters!! 🧐😳😂

Read a post yesterday from a riding instructor asking help for one of her students. She runs a show barn so her students go to shows but she has one student whonis melting down at every show and she wants help with how to help her student get a thicker skin. I don't know either of them, but I read a few comments about teaching confidence and such. The page is a very supportive page for riding instructors.
I commented that her rider may either not be ready (emotionally) to show - or, she has zero desire to do so. I have had several riders over the years that strictly wanted to relax on the trail - and that should always be absolutely fine. As long as they know enough to be safe while handling and riding, to me, that should be enough. I am hoping it's not this kids parents pressuring her to show. (I didn't ask 🤷🏼‍♀️) The horse world loses people that way - too much pressure runs the risk of the kid not enjoying the horses enough to stay around them, thus losing another potential horse owner to support the industry - and the horse industry truly needs as many horse care passionate people as it can get ❤️🐴❤️

I cannot love this more - riding jumpers at the highest level in a simple bit and NO nose band.
This needs to be a lesson to many, MANY riders who are sure that you need a strong bit to compete at certain levels. In fact, you do not.
Well done Riverstown Farm 👏👏👏👍😍
