Well I told you all ages ago that I was going to bring you along as I returned to riding following my accident. Then I got pregnant and there was just no way my nerves would let me ride safely. I tried it on my oldest, gentlest, kids horses and it just wasn’t going to happen. My worst-case-scenario brain was having a field day. Fast forward to now, baby is here and I’m ready to ride!! More to follow 😁

I’m getting excited to get back to working horses! I have a post-baby doctor appointment on Monday and anticipate being cleared to ride then. I’m for sure out of shape, and my time will be limited by the little man, but I’m already making plans and goals for the horses, kids, and me! It will be nice to have some kind of normal in this abnormal world we’re in right now. In the meantime, enjoy your horses and Merry Christmas!! 🐴🎄

I had to get some pics of Kodak a couple of days ago. The first picture was the best one I got of her just standing. She was WAY too interested in what I was doing to cooperate and look pretty. As soon as my mom stepped in to help, Kodak perked right up and posed like a model 😂 I know she’s been photographed before, but her instant transformation was hilarious. Also, the second picture is much more true-to-life!

The three redheads (Bones, Kodak, and Reba) yesterday evening hoping that they get to come in for snacks 😂

Meet Bravo!! This darling pony came to us this week. Not a client's horse--an addition to our own herd. He has already made himself quite popular with the humans--he will leave a meal to come visit someone walking by and loves attention. He also has a wonderful history of shenanigans with his previous boy and is ready for new shenanigans with his new children and students! When we went to try him, he tolerated me but was much more enthusiastic for Lane. Bravo is about 10 years old, and is a Quarter Horse x Welsh pony. He is adorable (the picture does him very little justice) and reminds me of Merrylegs ❤❤

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone has had a great weekend full of horsey fun!

For everyone that doesn't know, I am on the mend from an accident earlier this summer. I was bucked off a c**t and ended up with some spinal fractures. I was very very lucky and could've been injured significantly worse. As it is, I've been grounded for a while.

Having this time off has given me lots of time to think about my equine business and make some future plans. I'm looking forward to sharing those plans with all of you. In the more immediate future, I hope to share the steps of my return to riding with you. I know I'm not the only one that's had a bad wreck with a horse, and I know I won't be the last! If I can take something positive from this, I hope I can learn how to not only get myself through the inevitable nerves and loss of condition as I return to riding, but to help others move past their fears and successfully continue their own horsemanship journey.

For your consideration: registered AQHA sorrel mare Metallic Special aka Reba. She is coming back to work after having the winter off and is ready to find her next partner. She stands about 15.1 hh, she's 9 years old, and has great bloodlines. She is not a beginners horse as she as a lot of get up and go. She has been hauled and shown at local all-around shows and won some buckles. She's been started on barrels and shows tons of potential as she is both athletic and fast. I am going to start hauling her again this weekend and start introducing her to cattle if she's still here. She rides well inside and outside of the arena.

Heading into Albuquerque this weekend, I'd love to give you a lesson or help with your horse in Albuquerque or surrounding areas! Send me a message and I'll get you in my schedule!

Taco went home to his owner last weekend and I can't wait to see the adventures they go on! She sent me Taco's 3 year old half brother Ping Pong to start and he's already made good progress this week.

AJ is our latest ! He is our longest-term resident, our biggest horse, and easily our most saintly. He has taught multiple kids and a couple of adults to ride, earned one of my stepdaughters her first belt buckle just months after having his left eye removed, and just generally makes himself indispensable. He is patient with timid and beginning riders and green horses and his steadiness gives all of them confidence. He's as close to unflappable as any horse I've met. I could brag on AJ for days, there are SO MANY times he's carried a kid to success, or shown a greenie how to be brave. Everybody needs an in their barn. ❤❤❤❤

Well I meant to post but that plan got interrupted so how about instead? Teach your horses to load in a trailer, folks. And I mean teach them to load No. Matter. What. Teach them so well that they can load in an unfamiliar trailer with unfamiliar horses, by an unfamiliar person, while adrenaline is skyrocketing. Teach them and refresh the skill on the regular if you don't haul frequently. And on that note, teach them to be easy to catch.
Case in point: we live in very dry state. Our neighboring field caught fire yesterday and was heading towards our house and barn. I have 4 client horses here that have hauled in pairs but never all together. They loaded in a snug trailer with no hesitation and waited patiently until it was safe to unload (thankfully the fire was put out before it got to us, although it was way too close for comfort). None of the 4 are here for trailer training, but it's a part of the program for every horse here.
In other words-- an easy-to-load horse is convenient in everyday scenarios, and life saving in emergencies.

If you could have any equine event in the eastern NM/west TX area in 2019, what would it be? Specific discipline, event, or clinician? Or something more general?
