A little clip of our variety of desensitization and a possible sneak peak into our freestyle. 🤫
Also, to my fellow equine students or aspiring trainers:
I’m looking for a student or two to join me for a weekend of fun, learning, and volunteer hours. You’ll get to see the ins and outs of a training competition, help out, and have a great time. If you’re interested, let me know!

This was rom our 4th ride back in June. Finley was starting to feel more comfortable under saddle, we will start working on steering and consistency next ride! Here we’re trying to ride in a square pattern to help with straight lines, you can tell he’s not too interested!

Jumping back into action this past week had been interesting for all 3 of us. Just like going back to work after a long relaxing vacation. My “vacation” was restful, but had some longer term delays. Initially I thought this break would be good for the horses and I, before we get back into serious training for the competition. But then I realized I won’t be able to ride for a while. Despite that setback, I decided to focus on perfecting the ground work and desensitization. When I started back, I quickly realized there were some issues I had overlooked with Finley and Frasier. Although I ended the sessions on a positive note, I couldn’t help but feel down, thinking about what I should have done differently. The next day, I tried to work smarter, not harder, but it didn’t make a difference. As I got back into the groove of training, I noticed all the little things I had missed and the pressure of the looming competition expectations started to weigh on me. There were a few things I hadn’t even started working on, and realizing that I couldn’t even start until I could ride again made the situation even more challenging. However, despite the frustrations, I was able to have some really positive training sessions with Finley and Frasier. I focused on control from the ground, which will translate well when I’m back in the saddle. I know it’s all part of the process, and I believe that filling in these gaps and focusing on groundwork will pay off in the long run, making both horses better overall. I still believe that I won’t I be behind when it comes time for the competition. I have confidence that both Finley and Frasier will perform beautifully. I’m proud of them, and I can’t wait to see them shine!

Finleys come a long way since not wanting to be caught in the field. He wants to please and work for you, even if that’s moral support while setting up our riding activity for the day! This was a couple weeks ago, we used the poles to set up a square to ride around and through, helping steering and consistent speeds.

The boys had such a great day at the obstacle clinic! We went a couple weeks ago. Frasier is fearless and Finley is following closely behind him.

Just a boring little video of Frasier working on his balance and consistency in some serpentines. He likes to let his shoulder wiggle around in turns and changing directions so we spent some time practicing. I really focused on having him keep his body together in this exercise. He is doing very well!

Finleys getting used to his saddle and really starting to relax in his trot. He looks like a cute little ranch pony now! This is his second ride. He’s still getting used to me moving around in the saddle but he’s very very good!

Proud of Finley for being a good boy, he catches on fast. He reacts but immediately he slows him self down to think about what’s going on. We’ll be riding around in no time!

Frasier was AMAZING on our trip to the Kentucky Horse Park! We explored the cross country courses, polo fields, even some construction, and all by ourselves too! What a brave man, willing to go anywhere I asked and at any speed I asked.

Soon I’ll have videos of Frasier being ridden, but for now you get to experience how COMFORTABLE he is! It’s like sitting on a cloud! My videography is a different story.
