G.C. Natural Horsemanship

As we and our team of clients/friends prepare for the Ranch Horse Association of Australia Inc Ballarat Ranch Horse Association Inc. Victorian State Championship Ranch Horse show this week this is a good reminder that surrounding yourself with people who are genuinely cheering for you is so important!

We have 3 riders in our team competing at their first ever show this week! 🤠🥳
We have horses competing at their first show or first big show after only limited smaller outings! 🐴❤️

We have riders and horses competing in a range of levels, from Intermediate Youth, Green Rider, Green Horse and Intermediate Horse! 😃

This week is not about chasing prizes (though who knows and it’s always a nice bonus!) but about stepping out of comfort zones, testing the training and relationship with our horses, and having good fun experiences in the show pen! ☺️

For anyone not yet feeling ready to compete, I encourage you to come along to watch at Tatura Park this week (Friday to Monday) and come chat with us about how we can help you to train and prepare for future shows. We love helping anyone who is keen to learn and genuinely wants to put in the effort to improve.

Happy Monday 🖤🐴

Horsemanship clinic for Saturday is unfortunately canceled due to several people pulling out so not enough numbers to go ahead.

We will be setting more dates for clinics and trail rides and obstacle days soon. Keep an eye on the page for events listed.

Getting to know my new gelding Kayce, still need to ride him a lot more to get all his buttons smoothed out so we work well together but he sure knows his job on the mechanical cow so I’m excited to get him on cattle.

We had a great day today for our Ranch and Mechanical Cow clinic day! Small group but some great training from all with some horses and riders having their first time on the mechanical cow ever and making great progress.

We also spent time working on the Ranch Trail pattern that we set up for practicing for the VIC State show coming up in June.

Thanks to all who came along and we will have more of these days in the coming months! 🤠🐴

Dakota had her first ride down the road yesterday. She has found change in ground colour and surfaces a bit scary in the obstacle course and around the property on other days, and she started off a little wary and not keen on puddles!
With Soldier to lead and show her that he could go on the different ground she soon found some confidence.
She still didn’t like puddles but that will come!
