🌲🐴 Trail Time = Training Time 🐴🌲

There’s nothing quite like hitting the trails — the fresh air, the quiet, and that feeling of peace you only get from being out in nature with your horse. 🌿✨ It’s the perfect way to relax and recharge.

But did you know the trail is also a great place to fine-tune skills? 👌
✅ Sidepassing around trees
✅ Practicing stops and backing on uneven ground
✅ Building confidence crossing water, logs, and bridges
✅ Teaching patience while riding in a group or waiting their turn

Your horse doesn’t even realize they’re “working” — they just think you’re out exploring together. And that’s the beauty of it… relaxation mixed with progress. 💛

Do you use trail rides as a chance to polish up your horse’s training? Share your favorite trail exercises below! ⬇️ Be patient. Be consistent. Be Gary.

💛✨ Spa Day for Tennessee! ✨💛

After her training session today, Miss Tennessee — our gorgeous palomino with plenty of sass — got her favorite reward: bath time! 🧼💦

She might come with a little attitude under saddle, but the second that hose turns on, she melts into the sweetest mare. Ears perked, eyes soft, soaking it all up like she’s at the spa. 🌸🐴

There’s nothing better than seeing her golden coat shine in the sun afterwards — she knows she’s beautiful, and she’s not afraid to show it! 😉✨ Be patient. Be consistent. Be Gary.

☀️☕ Early Morning Bliss ☕☀️

There’s something special about those quiet mornings before the barn gets busy — coffee in hand, the sun just starting to peek over the trees, and that peaceful stillness in the air. 🌿✨
Be patient. Be consistent. Be Gary.

Yesterday afternoon, Effram (our curious Quarter Horse) and little Mya (the pony with plenty of attitude) had front-row seats to the best entertainment in town… Gary mowing their paddock! 🚜😂

Effram stood tall and serious, keeping a watchful eye like the “paddock supervisor,” while Mya trotted along the fence line as if to say, “Don’t miss that spot, Gary!”

It’s these small, everyday moments with the horses that always make us smile. They may not have Netflix, but give them a tractor and a fresh-cut paddock, and they’re glued to the action! 🌱❤️ Be patient. Be consistent. Be Gary.

✨ Training Update: Jack is working hard on his stop!

This morning, Gary focused on warming him up and freeing up his front end at the lope. The goal? To make sure Jack’s stop comes from his hindquarters—not his front end.

One exercise Gary likes to use is loping a cigar shape pattern. By giving Jack a free rein to really move out, Gary builds forward motion before ever asking for the stop. That way, when it’s time, the stop is powerful and correct. 🤠 Be patient. Be consistent. Be Gary.

KB trying to out do Dolly and Jenna Seguin at ground tying. He obviously did better than Gary & Soda as you saw the other day when Soda simply walked to the Wall of Patience. 🐴👏💪🎉👍💕 Note Roscoe's sit and stay!

After training, and yes we train early mornings not in the hottest part of the day, all horses get a bath and time to cool off in front of the fan. Once everyone cooled, we got our turn on the wall with the fan 🤣

When your horse says it's too hot. Soda knows that The Wall of Patience is a good place to be 🐴💆‍♀️🌡️😌

Did you know we have been sponsoring the ORHA Futurity since it's inception? Did you know we have sponsored many futurities associated with the ORHA for almost 2 decades? It has been a long run full of wonderful memories, making new friends and seeing some nice horses 🤠
Once again, we are sponsoring the ORHA 3 year old Futurity being held this September at the Reach Centre in Clinton, Ontario. You read that correctly! We are sponsoring 2 Continental saddles! One for the Level 4 Open Champion and one for the Level 4 Non Pro Champion! If you haven't got a 3 year old nominated, come out and watch this great show and consider nominating for future years. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Leona McAtee and Dan Fletcher for always being supportive of our brand. Best of luck to everyone and we will see you in the winner's circle 🏆
