If only they could speak….Cheyenne is so guarded and closed off towards humans. Her poor body shows evidence of past traumas in the form of scarring and old injuries. She was so fortunate to be rescued alongside her c**t, Dakota, and we hope that we can teach her to trust again. Cheyenne is with us for training from Gerda’s Equine Rescue.

Daffodil is a master of ground work and obstacles, she is also incredibly smart and loves to be challenged. We have begun working on long lining and ground driving to help with fitness and to prepare her for someday learning to drive. Our first step of the process is to get her accustomed to our positioning behind her. We begin with only one rein and use the wall to help with steering. Daffodil did amazing, and we are sure she will catch on really quickly! This adorable mini mare is with us for training from the MSSPA.

Shipley hit the trails last week alongside his buddy, Adare! There is no better way to help a green horse gain confidence than ponying. We love using this tool with all of our new trainees and we are so lucky to have Adare to teach them. Shipley is with us for training from Gerda’s Equine Rescue.

The stable flies are out in full force and we had to get creative for poor Jack who doesn’t even stomp his legs when the flies are biting him. Some kids baseball socks and a soft elastic bandage have made a world of difference for this sweet guy. It’s very important to keep a close eye on your horses (and donkeys) during the summer to make sure they are staying as comfortable and healthy as possible.

Panike is slowly starting to understand cues from her rider. As her confidence grows under saddle we are able to challenge her with new things, today’s test was one of our obstacles and she did great! Panike is with us for training from The Dorset Equine Rescue.
