Leila Lerm's sweet boy, Pepsi🥤. Started some liberty training today, teaching him to connect his shoulder to mine and staying in that sweet spot. He still has alot to learn but he is a clever chap. 🐴🫶💪
Elri Nel 's beautifull young mare, Summer🌼had her first encounter with human weight on her back! She took everything in her stride, and really enjoys the work. This mare has an incredible ability to connect with a person. I see huge talent for liberty work. Elri you can be proud of your youngster. 🐴❤️ Thank you for trusting me with your precious pony and allowing me to take her through this process.
Days like this, just reminds me why I love to do this. Its not always about jumping on everyday and riding, practise tests, compete to be the best over and over again ect, its all about that ability to connect and building an inexplainable relationship with these amazing animals❤️ whom allows you to do the above with them.
Day 2 of Pepsi's big school. Why is it , that random plaas ponies always have the best souls, no fancy breeding, abused, rescued and adopted. But a heart of gold... just shows you! After I met this boys soul, he is worth a million. #rowwediamant #diamondfromdust
Dreamer, the baby (3 and abit) at the yard's very first trot under saddle. Such a great temperament! Excited for his future🤩
Barkley will be going back home end of this week. She has come very far in 3 weeks! Very proud moment today to see her reaction and choices in difficult moments! 💪🏻
Slowly but surely the dressage arena is coming along. 😅 First base layer of sand, then final footing and all the pretty hedges and flowers still to come. Dankie my man Jaco Prinsloo vir alles wat jy vir my doen❤️
My first 2 lessons with Legend a super cute horse with an awesome heart and Michelle , they could never get him on the right lead canter. He was always crooked and to the left. Today he took his right lead canter 4 times in a row, and his starting to work nice and straight and is much more supple. If you set them up correctly, you set them up for success!! Well done Bobby for riding him so well in todays lesson!
Yay🤩 sand for the lunge ring arrived this morning, slowly but surely building our own piece of equestrian heaven 🥳
Breaking grounds. So excited for our new dressage arena
Probably one of my most fav sounds in the barn, listening to them while they are chomping away🙈😌 😂
Always liked the difficult ones. Just makes your work so much more rewarding!

Little Barkely Update. Just love the moments you can start picking the fruit from everything I have put in. From being afraid of me and humans, shivering to my touch, not being able to catch her or get her to stand still , today she was just my best friend followed me around everywhere and just stayd by my side the entire time and I coud touch and rub and cuddle. Thats why I love my job!
