How to train with minimal time:

I’m of the mind that quality, consistent work ten minutes here and there is far better than an hour or two on the weekend. Everybody’s schedules are crazy, everybody has stuff going on, and probably everybody feels guilty all the time for what they’re not doing.

I have a busy life too. It can be hard to prioritize my own horses, but I’ve had several teachers essentially grab me by my shirt collar and emphasize with gusto how important my own horses training is- and so I present to you my secret plan for short sessions with quality

1- have a plan going in. I don’t mean decide exactly what you’re gonna do, because life happens and you have to work with the horse you have in front of you. But have a plan to give this session your all- to be 110% present for ten, fifteen minutes. No distractions. And calm. If you shoot for 110%, you might hit 70%, and that would be a great success. Get your head on straight, then go in to the pasture.

2- focus on quality in everything. How much care can you invest in putting the halter on? How did your horse feel? How nicely did they lead? How much attention can you give to brushing in a way your horse likes? How well did they stand at the mounting block, how much attention to detail did you give picking up their feet with softness? These things matter, and add up.

3- focus on being smooth and rhythmic. The more I can get me and my horse moving in a smooth, rhythmic way, the sooner the distractions fall away, the sooner my horse breathes and calms, the sooner every thing gets awesome. So get that rhythm!

4- if things go wrong, as they can do, backtrack to something easy. Spend your time building successes, so find something you can do well and quit on without eating up your whole evening being frustrated.

5- be happy with less. Don’t expect flying changes in ten minutes- be happy with breathing, be happy with standing still, be happy with moving nicely, be happy with moving at all. If you have minimal time, your expectations should fit the bill: small and simple, and learn to get happy with less. Resist the urge to do it one more time, keep that greed monster away and accept what is fair to accept.

TIP FOR SHARING:
If you have a significant other that has a horse farm in any state that has “mud season” and you are working on last minute gifts this holiday season, this is for you bestie!

Gorgeous gorgeous farm girls want rocks this year. No, no, no… not 💍 THAT kind of rock, 🪨 THIS kind of rock. Gravel, we want gravel. We want erosion control fabric and gravel to fill it with, to cut down on the ankle-sucking, atv slogging, slip and fall in the wet sad winter MUD.

Sincerely, the tired people who waddle around in overalls and muck boots trying to keep their animals happy this mud season.

Horses available for Part Board ONLY.

Located on the westside of Milton/Campbellville/Moffat area. 5 mins from the 401!

1-HIJI(1st photo)-16 hh compact Swedish wb X gelding. He is a very fun ride. I bought him as a baby as my own personal horse before getting into breeding. Hack winner! Mostly auto changes with a balanced rider. I would even love a flat based rider on him(as he can be playful jumping). Has collections and extensions and has worked on laterals. Same on and off property, and has shown up to 2’9. Loves to work. Looking for 3+rides per week(minimum of one lesson per week)

2-BROOKLYN-16 hh tb mare. Very quiet and honest, confidence builder. Easy around a 2’6-2’9 course with flying changes. Competitive in both the hunter and jumper ring. Rides the same on and off property. Looking for 2-3 rides per week(one being a lesson)

3-RAINE-15 hh Arab x mare, is older but that hasn’t stopped her. Fun uphill ride, but can be quick at her canter and jumping. Very handy/jumper type. Confident rider is preferred. Looking for 3+ rides a week(one being a lesson)

4-MILLIE-14 hh pony mare. Hunter type, very quiet. Would make a nice ride for a small novice adult or teen looking for time in the saddle. A push ride over fences. She does have a bit of pony sass but never mean. Looking for 3+ rides a week(one being a lesson)

5-Also have DUBAI(2nd photo)-a very cool and ATHLETIC 17.2hh tb gelding who is a lovely flat horse. Needs a confident rider to bring him along. Easily goes in a frame with collection/extension/lateral work. LOVES to jump but has been just coming back into jumping and I prefer to bring them back slowly and effectively. He prefers a confident but quiet persistent ride to perform at his best. Looking for 2-3 rides a week(one being a lesson)

AND the best for last.

6-CHARLIE-Clydesdale gelding available for pb. Great for w/t work and hacking with friends. Ideal for someone looking to build up confidence flatting or just enjoy time spent with horses. He’s a cuddler!

PM with questions and I’ll get back to you asap. All of these horses are very friendly and easy to work around. I have pictures and videos available upon request. They are all only available for part board or quarter board. No off property leases available at this time.

We are a mostly adult barn, with fun lessons. We do attend local schooling shows, Angelstone Silver series and CW trillium shows. Very reasonable part board and quarter board rates (includes lessons with licensed coach)

Because owning horses isn’t all sunshine and rainbows…here’s a quick little psa to get your attention

CHECK YOUR HORSES FOR TICKS!

These annoying arthropods like to feast in horse tails, and often go unnoticed. Scratch through your horses mane as well as tail, along the dock all the way to the tip to check for any crusty spots, and if you find one or multiple crusty/itchy areas you’ll often find a tick. Ticks love creases too(elbow and groin area)and even under the jaw…be thorough! I’ve been checking my horses that are out on grass regularly, but somehow this little(large) guy slipped through my checks. Disinfect after of course! 🤢
