"𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒊𝒏 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔, 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒔."

This is a wonderful affirmation for working with horses. We should always control our emotions and feelings, horses are very in tune to what we're feeling and experiencing.
Clearing all the stress from your day and starting with a clean slate, and a clear mind, is a great lesson horses can teach us, we feel better when we let all of that go!

🐴Stride by Stride: Mastering Patterns for Western and English Equitation

🌟Horsemanship and Equitation patterns serve as invaluable practice sessions for refining riding skills. They play a dual role, benefiting both instructors and students by pinpointing areas that need improvement during lessons.During horse shows, these patterns are pivotal, often integrated alongside group rail work to assess the performance of youth and amateur Equitation riders. Each association presents its distinct rules for Horsemanship and Equitation, meticulously outlined in annually updated rule books.

🌟Come join us for an educational workshop all about Western and English Horsemanship and Equitation Patterns!! Help improve your Equitation and knowledge of patterns and the benefits in communication and balance it brings your horse and you!

"𝙄 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙮𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣!"

Confidence in yourself and the decisions you make are so important when working with horses! Always try to be your best supporter! Horses respect sure decision making. As herd animals, they follow the most confident horse in the group for survival. The best thing a rider can do, is be confident and trust themselves when riding and directing their horse!

True magic with horses starts when you believe in yourself! ✨️

Happy Small Business Saturday!😊

When you shop and do service with a small business, you help people achieve their dreams, secure their futures, and pay their bills!

When you use a small business, you support your community and the people in it. You support the kids who love to play their sports and activities, and you help locals give back to the community.

When you support a small business, you lift up every day people and make them feel special.

IT MATTERS!

Thank you to all my customers, clients, students, and equines that I'm so thankful and lucky to work with every day!

Happy Small Business Saturday!
