Happy 95th birthday to Jane Stelkia!🥳🧡✨️🎶🙏
Jane is the oldest elder in Okanagan nation.
It was so special to hear her story later about her long life with horses at her birthday celebration and to see pictures of her 103 year old grandmother on a horse.
She talked about growing up with no toys, only horses and animals. Their only form of transportation was on horseback.
This truly is a horse culture.
It feels so special to have a horse from this family.
My beautiful Phoenix comes from this horse culture.

Phoenix comes from the Stelkia Ranch. They are having another sale this year in June.

I highly recommend these horses. In my whole life with horses, Phoenix is one of the best I have ever had.

Phoenix and I have participated in international online clinics with Bent Branderup the grand master of The Academic Art of Riding, in Denmark. Bent has very good things to say about Phoenix. It's pretty exciting to have this world renowned trainer compliment Phoenix.

Here's a little video showing some liberty training that we are doing.

Being a good leader for your horse is so very important.

Rather than going after Phoenix, I invite him to me.

My phone put together this compilation of videos that I have taken in the last few years.
It's fun to look back on these lovely moments.

After a long drink, Phoenix comes back to me ready to walk at liberty to the arena for training. 🎶💛✨️🐎

When I went to get Phoenix for training this morning, I saw that he was headed for a drink after his morning hay. I decided to tag along with him and show you how he prefers to drink from this natural water source rather than the water tubs that I keep filled for the mares.
He's quite good at finding water and at first took a small drink from some water that had collected inside an old well pipe, and then moved into this swampy area where he had pawed a hole in the ice for a long drink.
Being the cute sociable guy that he is, he turned back to greet me first before going in for a drink.
Like most wild animals at water sources he takes a lot of time looking around to make sure it's safe to put his head down to drink. I'm sure you've seen on nature shows how predators hang out at the water source to hunt.

This is a really interesting documentary put together by some friends of mine.

They talk about the Okanagan free roaming horses.

This is where I got my beautiful Phoenix from. 💛🎶✨️

Safely handling the back end of a wild horse can take a little longer.
