Cookie has excelled at every goal we set for in the 4 shorts weeks she's been with us! She went from an unhandled baby who barely came to sniff our hands to a leading, standing tied, trailer loading, feet trimming gem who LOVES scratches. The pre-schoolers also get a good dose of chaos desensitization with our 4 kiddos helping with chores and being their rambunctious selves.
If you or someone you know has a weanling that they'd like to learn these basic skills, let us know! We have openings for January and February.

Deworming day for the littles, well not quite so little in Cookies case. They’re all standing tied well, and the boys are catching up to Cookie with being relaxed about being rubbed, brushed all over and having their feet handled.

Cookies' first time being led onto a trailer! Like she has been doing it everyday. She has come such a long way in the few short weeks we've had her!! We'll be sad to send her home, she is a very calming presence for our colts.

MRR Pre-school update!
Cookie now leads and stands tied like a pro. She picks up all her feet and stands for them to be cleaned out. She also gets her halter taken off unless she's being moved around. Next step for her is loading in the trailer!
Remi leads very well and we are working on full body rubbing and hugging. He stands tied calmly even when he's alone. Next step for him is picking up his feet.
Huck has been with us for a week and doing quite nicely. He leads well and comes for attention. Next step for him is standing tied.
Videos coming soon!

The babies went for a night time stroll. One would go for a walk while the other stood tied in their stall. Cookie handled it very well!! Remi not so much 😂 yes he's loud in the background, no he did not hurt himself.
I have to post the two videos separately

Introducing Memphis Ridge Pre-School!! We've got two students currently and one more scheduled to come next weekend. The colourful girl (Cookie) has a head start on the blue roan boy (our Remi). She came to us unhandled. She has been with us almost a week now. She is haltered and leads slowly but willingly. So far she is a sweet heart who handles new situations very well. Remi weaned today so his learning hasn't really begun yet. We will be posting videos and pics of their progress so stay tuned!

Bit of a rough day today. I had to make the hard decision to sell my goat herd. Some bills just can't wait. Although I will miss these girls and especially my big man Bucky, I know I will have goats again in the future. You haven't seen the end of the bouncing spring babies 🥰

It’s official, Slow N Steady’s (Tex) paperwork is done. He’s been gelded and is started under saddle, the wet weathers been a challenge the last month for consistency but we’re making steady progress. He’s got quick feet and some nice sweeping movement over his hocks when he turns, he should make a fun cowhorse or ranch cutter. He is available, pm for details.

This coyote has taken its last chicken from us having been laid to rest 👍

Can you see them? She definitely can! There’s about a half dozen scurrying around scratching through the leaves looking for snacks. I love it when the regulars of farm life help in making well rounded riding horses. I’ve got a couple training spots open for November, contact for details.
