🌀 **Working on Our Canter Circles!** 🌀
We're dedicated to continuous improvement, and today we focused on strengthening our canter circles. Something that hasn’t come easy for Kodiak 🐎
Canter circles help enhance balance, flexibility, and control for both horse and rider. Here are some benefits of practicing canter circles:
✨ Improves coordination and rhythm
✨ Builds muscle strength and stamina
✨ Enhances communication between horse and handler

Getting these 2 to do anything together has always been quite the task. One super sensitive horse and one super dull horse not a fun combo 😂. We we did try to have a little fun this am before the heat came in.
Rumor
Rumor and I have been working so hard this winter and it shows ❤️
He’s learning we arnt so bad
Mr rocky is still here, we’re working on getting some videos this week that are true to him. Rocky can be a very forward horse with a timid rider and needs someone who’s confident. This guy can cover some ground and would be an amazing endurance/ cross country horse. Rocky loves the trails but again has a motor and likes to go. We’ve been working on putting a head set on this guy as he likes to carry his head high, he’s a big horse with a lot of power but not dangerous in anyway. Just likes to go. 16 hand gelding who’s a beautiful mover. Again he is not a beginner horse or for a timid rider. 5️⃣5️⃣🍩🍩
Rumors favorite part of our nights is her curry time ❤️.
Rumor
Rumor and I tried asking something new yesterday. I have never asked this, so I absolutely loved what she offered 1st try ❤️. We’ll see how this progresses.
Somewhere around ride 16 on this mare, all of which have been bridleless so the beach was no different. Rumor took it all in stride and did amazing for her 1st off farm ride.
One of my goals this year is to get off the farm a little more and have some fun. What are your goals for 2024?
What do you think? Does he ground tie?
I have been having what I call “cheat” rides on rumor this past week, where I just ride her bareback instead of tacking her. At 1st I just thought I was being lazy, until yesterday when I had to unpack some feelings. I’ve never broke a horse bridleless before, ridden bridleless sure all the time but broke a horse to ride, never. What I realized yesterday is I was letting words that I shouldn’t get into my head. I had heard somethings that came from a very close friend, and role model about how I’m going to fail and my horse looks like crap. Honestly the words hurt but it wasn’t till last night that I unpacked all of it. Here’s the thing I’m terrified to fail, but let’s be honest there’s absolutely no way possible I won’t fail on this journey before I succeed. As I say to people all the time, anything you do to a horse can be fixed and undone some just takes longer then others. So enjoy the failure, and stay on your journey. Let people show you where they belong in your life and do you ❤️.
Ride 10 on rumor tonight. ❤️ and 1st spanish walk with a rider.
