Today, Joe was joined by 4-H group managed by Debbie Mooty for a c**t starting demonstration with 2 of the horses in our program. They got to learn about preparing a horse to be saddled, working a horse in the round pen, and how Joe goes about putting a first ride on a c**t.

Capitan does it all. Yesterday he moved bulls for McDonald Farm and today he came out to teach a 2’6” lesson! I don’t know how we still have this horse available he is amazing.

The rain didn’t keep us home today. Noelle and Kayleigh took a field trip to Green Hill Park today with three of our horses (Cap, Armani and Betty)! We also met 3 other horses there for lessons. We are lucky to be so close to a facility that does so well in the rain.

Things have been busy at McDonald Equine! Last weekend Kayleigh went to Leesburg to judge their 2 day horse show. It is always fun to see amazing facilities and new riders.

On the days it’s too wet to flat in the pasture we get the horses good about walking through puddles.

We always love to hear how our past client horses are doing in the “real world”.

“Hi Joe! I wanted to give you an update, Freyja has settled in well to the new barn. I have been working on the ground work exercises and am really impressed with how she is doing. She was ridden within 24 hrs at the new barn after arriving and you would have thought she was a been there done that kind of horse with how calm cool and collected she was. Took her to a show this weekend and had so many wins! No spooks at bikes, carts, things in the ring and much more focused on me and the task at hand. Even my fiancé was able to handle her. She is certainly still Freyja… but definitely obedient and much more enjoyable.”

If you have a c**t that needs started, or a horse that needs to be prepared for the show ring, like Freyja, we are now booking training spots for late summer 2025!

✨Perfect horse for someone looking to take that next step and show right away!
