As we enter the final three weeks of lessons, the horses and I are grateful that we are able to close this chapter with amazing clients.

A week ago, a late spring storm passed through, and after about almost 100mm worth of rain (winter seems to be clawing on!), this beautiful double rainbow made it's appearance.
The saying goes that there is supposed to be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It made me realise that even though the future can be unpredictable, there's always something exciting that lies ahead.
It's a journey to find the pot of gold at the end of every rainbow, and I look forward to seeing what the next one holds.

For now, the horses and I will enjoy the last few lessons with each of our riders. We will take in how they have grown. Beam with pride when they bring out the most in their horse during a lesson. Be grateful for the opportunity to have taught these young riders. But most of all, be humbled to have shared our passion and love with them.

They make me so proud 🤩 when the foundation of basics are solid, the rest will follow with continued determination, dedication, discipline and hard work.

I could not share the original post, but a copy and paste will hopefully continue the share.. credit to the author for a well written piece!
For every rider.
Everywhere in the world.
Appreciate your lesson horses. Always.

~ One of my biggest frustrations in this industry is the lack of understanding and consideration for the role that lesson horses play. So often, I see riders complaining about lesson horses for a huge variety of reasons: for their perceived lack of quality or value, for having to ride one they don’t like, for not getting to ride the one they do like, for their trainer not having enough lesson horses, or for the lesson horses not being available at their convenience when their personal horse is out of commission. I’ve dealt with all of the above and I know I’ll continue to do so, but I think it’s important that people understand the reality of lesson horses, and that’s that they aren’t here for your kid to ride forever and climb the levels with your one or two lesson a week commitment. They’re here to get you started, safely and productively, while you decide just how far you want to take this.

Lesson horses are incredibly special creatures. They have to be easily caught by beginners who don’t know how to properly approach a prey animal. They have to stand like statues on the crossties while tiny kids take the better part of an hour to get them clean. They have to hold their head still while beginners jam the bit into their teeth for the fiftieth time in a row to put the bridle on. They have to stand still at the mounting block while someone stands for too long with all their weight in the left stirrup and then slams down on their back with no consideration for their comfort. They tolerantly teach riders who are unbalanced, uncoordinated, and unclear, who catch their mouths and bounce on their backs and kick at their sides, and every single time, they are expected to just come again without so much as a swish of their tail or pinning of their ears. And any time one of these horses has a moment where they act like a regular horse or force the rider to really ride, they’re labeled annoying or rude or bad or lazy or whatever.

Lesson horses are not intended to take you up the levels and jump big jumps and win all the classes. If these horses were this beginner-friendly and this tolerant AND the hack winner with an auto lead change, you couldn’t afford them! That’s not to say these horses can’t be winners if you ride them well and pull your weight, but their ability to win in the show ring is not where their real value lies. Lesson horses exist to bring new riders into the sport. To teach them the ropes and get them started, lay a foundation and prepare them to make a bigger commitment to the sport by leasing or purchasing the next step horse. Lesson horses are not responsible for chasing your Olympic dreams for you. They’re responsible for getting them started in the first place. For riders to act like a lesson horse isn’t valuable because he isn’t the winner in any company is ignorant and unfair.

Every horse you ride has something to teach you. Whether it’s the crotchety old school pony who likes to root when you’re not paying attention, or the younger lesson horse who will only pick up the right lead if you ask *just right*, or the ultra reliable skip-change king, they all will add to your toolkit that you can one day apply to the fancier model you get to take you to the next level. Don’t forget about all the lessons you learn along the way and remember that without lesson horses, you wouldn’t be riding at all!

**Thank you so much for all of the shares!! The fact that this took off the way it did shows that people love and appreciate their lesson horses, as they should!! If you wish to share my words with your own photo, I would really appreciate being given author credit. Thank you!** ~

It's not just riding. It's good horsemanship. And this little one insists on doing it all by herself 🥹

Now what can be better than a little nap after a good lesson 😴

Just a spot of good fun! #jumping

When the grooms have a bird's eye view of lessons... and the excitement gets real when your rider jumps her first 70cm in style 🫣

My riders don't always understand the methods to my madness... but today, one of them, finally got it. For the past term, my experienced riders spent their lessons in a 'boot camp' specifically aimed at improving their balance and seat; and so to speak, their independent seat. All of this was in preparation for what lies ahead for the final term of the year : lateral work in dressage. For one cannot ask the horse to do lateral work correctly, if you as the rider block their movement in any way through your seat. Even though this leg yield was only preformed at the walk, it was executed with minimal fault. The rider was balanced in her seat. She maintained the correct bend through her horse's body, pushing her forward in the walk into the contact and kept her horse well balanced on the outside rein. And today, my young rider finally felt the result of my "madness". I am proud. And needless to say, so was she 🙏

When it rains, it pours.... 🫣🫣🌧

We just want to 'beat' the BIG ponies and be in front 😂 Go Gangsta pony, GO 🤪

What a day.... #thunderstorms #hail #theorylessons ⛈️⛈️⛈️

What better way to spend a rainy lesson day than with a fun fact treasure hunt through the stables 🤪🤓 #theorylessons #rainydays

All by my-3-year-old-self 😁

Good impulsion + steady rhythm = flying 'high' 😄

They make me so proud!!! 🤩

The multipurpose use of trotting poles - EXTENDING the trot stride to cover more ground. A bit of an unsettling exercise for the rider at first, but once they get into the rhythm of just going with the horse, and not restricting the movement by getting left behind or pulling back on the reins, they begin to realise just how vast the discipline of riding can be.
