Typical Day - Variety of Training
One of my favorite parts of training is when they’re all at different stages. I forgot to include three of the groundwork ones, but there is a good mix of horses. I get the opportunity to work with right now! Thought it would be nice to film the difference 💕
It’s nice to have a day of liberty work as an easy cool down and connection session. Pixel is becoming like Lynx, a horse of many trades!
Clinic season is approaching fast 👏❤️
I have most of my stops lined up, just working on creating the route! Where would you like to learn (in improve on) liberty this year? Or do you have any specific liberty (maybe just connection) goals with your horse this year?
✨ New Training Mustang! ✨ Wildfire from Stinkingwater OR. Working on engagement, relaxation, and not checking out 🖤

Roo moving up in life!
Roo was a fun colt start from last year! She was raised on the farm, started last fall… we even brought her to a show in the spring for some exposure and she was lovely! She’s been hauled around and trail ridden… tied to learn patience… obstacle practices… exposed to a lot of things. And she has turned out quite lovely 😊 I’m very proud of this warmblood and happy that her mom trusted her with me!
Two days ago, I hauled her to her new barn (a lot closer to her owner!) and had my last ride on her. She has been great to be there for everything and helping settle her in was the cherry on top. Her sad little whinny was cute, she kept her focus 😂 we unloaded her and put her right to work! I’m very proud of how Roo developed and I can’t wait to keep watching her and Laura’s journey together. Maybe I’ll go watch them show together one day!
Just wanted to share a little training success story 🥰
Pixel with some sass
Heading back home!! 🏠 Pixel has been working hard between the Mustang Classic and teaching clinics. She taught another clinic in Ohio today and was at liberty with me for the second half as I coached 🥰
Excited to get into colt starting season! Hoping the drive home isn’t too rough with the hurricane 🌀
Pixel Tricks
Pixel taught her first clinic today ⭐️
Our mini clinic at the end of the day was on tricks… where Lynx is always easy to demo with! Well, Pixel stepped up. She learned all of this while teaching it this afternoon. Smart girl! We ended with the Laydown, sit, and some liberty… I know my tired chestnut girl has been holding this in all weekend and the clinic today 😆 spicy girl! 🌶️
Little XC school with my favorite red mare 🥰
I’m excited for the show in a few weeks, but above all of that I’m just so thrilled this is the mustang I get to work with. I enjoy my time with her so much. It’s been so fun pushing myself to do more with another horse and train them for a longer period. She still has growing to do and strength to gain… she has all of the travel miles and time on top of that to work with!
I don’t ride with friends that often either so it was fun riding with @SBF Mustang Eventing and her whole supportive crew 🙂 Boo was there schooling with us too!!
Doing liberty work with Pixel was one of the best things I could have done for her!
Believe it or not, this sweet red mare once had some opinions on if we should kindly communicate with eachother or not… 😂 okay maybe she’s still a little spicy sometimes
Liberty helped me slow down and acknowledge her tries more, it kept me honest in my asks too.
If you think you’d like to learn how to start liberty work with your horse (or advance it), send me a message, drop a comment, or let me know what your email is 😊 running a coached liberty course again soon! Limited spots!
