Bringing along young horses is full of ups and downs. Developing Klaus’s canter has been a huge battle and we still have a long way to go, but it’s very hard to contain a 17.2 4 yr old. Very impressed and can’t wait to see it continue to improve!
Flyers first canter today! This video is the first time cantering. Very impressed by the natural balance of this horse!!!
Three years in the making but I am so proud of Flyer. This is our first ride off the lunge line. The brains on these Tempest WT babies are unbeatable! Will always make room to start these babies.
Get ready with Buzz and I for cross country yesterday at Bouckaert Farm @ Chattahoochee Hills. Using the Coat Defense powder in our cross country boots to help with potential rubs! The Correct Connect breastplate is our go to for cross country.
Flyer - First Trot
Just a wiggly baby pony but I can wait to see where this one is at in a year because wow!
We love a good day on the Aqua Tread at Flying S Equine Rehab & Performance!
Buzz went to Flying S Equine Rehab & Performance today and got to use the Aqua tread today!

Klaus
Klaus jumping through the water today
Klaus - BN - Three Lakes
Klaus “Tak for Farven” took in his first recognized event yesterday. Dressage left a lot to be desired. Judges comments included “ Beautiful and clearly talented horse that was distracted today”. He blew me away in the jump phases though. A nice double clear show jumping round and a super xc with some time. This is the first time we’ve asked him to jump xc in a course somewhere he hasn’t schooled first.
The US Event Horse Futurity
We had a great learning weekend with the best show jump round we have jumped Cross Country was a blast with two rider errors but we got home in a tough division and finished 6th!
Buzz SJ - Intermediate - Rocking Horse II
Buzz Buzz jumping the intermediate at Rocking Horse!
Not perfect, but wouldn’t expect a green 4 year old to be perfect around his first beginner novice course! Good boy Klaus!
Sometimes I question if the long days are worth it between riding my own, my training horses, and lessons. Then I get something like this from my lesson students which remind me exactly how worth it this really is!
Obsessed with Klaus today!!!
Here is the winning 3-3’3 jumper round from Buzz at the Florida All Breed Horse Show Series. Thank you so much for a great show. Fastest time of the day by 4 seconds!
You just can’t help but laugh at Buzz sometimes. Another fun one with sound. Getting back into work after a little time off!
So much to say about this weekend and so proud of everyone! That post will be later because I still have a 5 hour drive home. But huge thanks to Rick Wallace and Briggs Surratt for the video and for all the help this weekend and leading up to the show. Thanks to Hilda Donahue for stepping in for show jumping as well! And to Kimberly Forster for dealing with the wild child all weekend. It takes a village including Rigdon Veterinary Services and Alex Chambless keeping this horse fit and going. Thankful to have a great team behind us!
MMF Equilibrium- 2’6/2’9 hunters @ WEC

Bazillion Bells - Prelim - Ocala
A great day with buzz today. Dressage was improved, a silly rail in stadium, but a double clear xc to finish the day in 6th! One more show this week with us leaving for TIP Champs tomorrow night.
