Training in the winter without an indoor arena builds more than just skills—it builds grit! ❄️❄️ With smart strategies, good footing, and a little creativity, we keep our horses progressing no matter the weather.

Our group lessons facilitate learning through observation and shared experiences. Learning from your peers is a great way to step up your horsemanship!

'Miss America's Princess' (Silva) represented those who couldn't be with family for special events at a local show. I wanted our Halloween costume to mean something special this year.

Silva did not disappoint and held her head proudly in the ring.

All it takes is one person to believe in you.

The very first horse we started under Sterling Performance Equine is back for a tune up. A lot of dreams were carried on this mare.

"Before you send your two year old off to the c**t starter.. here are a couple reminders :)

Have your horse’s teeth done and wolf teeth taken out before so accepting a bit isn’t an issue.

Make sure they are well fed but you don’t need to “fatten them up” with a bunch of sugary feeds before… just like you wouldn’t give your kid a basket of candy every day before school. A good training program will feed them according to the work load and their body condition and they should build muscle and lose the baby fat over the course of a few months.

You don’t need to do ground work to prepare them for the c**t starter. Unless you have incredible timing, it may actually hinder the process. And for the love….do not saddle them. You only get one shot at their first experience with a saddle and 1,000 things can go wrong if you don’t know what you’re doing. Leave it to the professional that you are paying.

Communicate your goals and plans for your horse with your trainer so you’re on the same page. Ask them what you can realistically expect after a few months and how often you should expect to hear from them throughout the process.

It never hurts to preemptively start your horse on an ulcer prevention protocol before you send them off and then keep them on the meds or the supplements of your choice for the first month of training. The first month is usually the most stressful as there are a lot of new things being thrown at them. It just keeps things rolling smoothly instead of waiting for problems to arise.

Stay in communication with your trainer about any soundness or health issues that could come up. The quicker you catch things the better. It’s not terribly uncommon to discover things like OCDs or other existing issues once the horse is put under more physical pressure.

My last tip is to pay on time and show appreciation. C**t starting is probably the least recognized and most thankless part of a horse’s training and career. There aren’t usually headlines written about us. But a sincere thank you goes a long way."

Letting them be horses is so important for their minds.
