As thanksgiving approaches we all tend to reflect on things we are thankful for.

With all the rain this week, we are particularly thankful for this great drainage and arena footing we have and we are thankful that we are able to maintain it to keep it that way.

None of this would be possible without the grace of the Lord and the people He places in our lives.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Today we did lesson on ground driving.

We use ground driving to prepare horses for riding.

They learn to carry a bit, stop, back and turn before a rider even gets on. It makes those first rides so much easier.

This guy has been quite the journey. It’s a long story why it’s taken so long to get going with him, and it’s more personal than needs to be shared here.

Regardless of why we are just now doing it, Almost Famous JS aka “Diego” learned that he can wear a blanket too, just like the other horses in the barn.

He used to be a horse that’s immediate response to uncomfortable situations was to leave the scene in a dramatic fashion. And not little drama. Like didn’t get invited to the prom drama.

Because of the confidence building method we use, today, he did not care at all about this new “scary” thing.

We know this should have been done a long time ago, but life is what life is sometimes.

“How long are you going to take lessons” or “Don’t you already know how to ride? Why are you taking lessons then”?

These are two very common questions that family and friends ask students of the equestrian sport.

One of our clients gave a brilliantly thought out answer to this the other day that we thought we’d share.

She said, “ a basketball player doesn’t learn how to play basketball and then continue playing the sport without a coach. No athlete does. Even at the professional level, the pinnacle of excellence, every athlete still has a coach. The difference with horses is, not only does the rider need coaching, but you also have the equine athlete to think about.”

In short, the clients answer sums it up to say, as long as you are wanting to continue progressing and learning in your horsemanship journey, especially as a competitive rider, there will always be a need for training and taking lessons.

The pattern part of today’s exercise is simpler in appearance than last weeks work, but the technique and application are much more difficult than just steering through the pattern.

It’s always about shaping our horses body and their balance throughout their workout.

Anyone can follow a diagram of a pattern, but do we know where the horses shoulders are, which foot is bearing the burden of the workload, what their back is doing and how we, as riders, affect that?

These are so much more than “drills”.

If you want to learn more about balanced horsemanship and how we do it send us a message to schedule a meet and greet.
