How do you find peace?
This is my answer.

You must go through the stages of healing. It's hard work. You will have days where nothing makes sense but your intuition. Everything around you might be falling apart, but remember, if they are falling apart, it is because you're making healthy decisions. Let it happen because it needs to happen. Some people will walk away, some you thought never would, but that's okay also.

In this world, we are never alone. There are signs of the invisible force pulling you to good if you quiet the things around you and listen. Inner healing is necessary for everyone if you want peace. The hardest part of finding peace is forgiving.

Calm yourself, and find beauty in the small things. 7 fruits of the spirit can act as a guide.

Love - Without expecting anything in return.
Joy- Its a spiritual choice. Make it.
Peace - usually, can find it in Chaos if you allow yourself to be still and listen.
Patience - creating a stillness
Kindess- In a world where you can be anything be kind.
Goodness - correcting wrongs in life. There is such thing as good anger. Anger for the right reasons to better the world rather than harm it.
Balance - spiritually fed with Guidence
Gentleness- meek does not mean weak. Be gentle with hearts. Everyone has their own understanding and story. Everyone has their own testimonies.
SELF CONTROL - The biggest one out of all of them. The desires of the flesh dont last. The desires of the spirit within do last. If you listen to your subconscious and your conscience, the connections become real.

I hope this helps. Reach out if you would like to talk, and you need a good listener.

Peace be with you, my friends. 💚💙💜

Thank you, Dunkirk, for always being my safe place. ❤️

It's Clinic time!

I will be putting on my first clinic of the season! I will be working with mustangs with very little handling and teaching how to communicate with them!

For the last Eight years Mustangs have been my focus! These horses are very overpopulated and they really need our help to give them the best chance at domestic life we can give them!

Mustangs are very sensitive souls and they reflect our souls as humans. Just like us they go through trauma, pain, love, and hope. The feel the way humans do.

This clinic is the perfect opportunity for you to learn how to read and communicate with your horse using body language!

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU!

DLR Mustang Ranch will be hosting a 2-day clinic March 9-10th with Kelsey Spencer of Wild Ride Equine. The first session begins at 10:00am each day with a provided lunch. Afternoon session begins at 1:30pm. Audit only for this first clinic for $75 a day or $125 for both days. This is nonrefundable and payment to reserve your spot must be submitted by March 4th.

During the clinic, we will use mustangs with little training focusing on:
* Catching
* Haltering
* Desensitization
* Picking up feet
* Learning how to read and communicate with the horse through body language

During the clinic you will learn how to read and communicate with a mustang through the horse's body language.

Kelsey has specialized in mustangs for 8 years and has competed in 8 Extreme Mustang Makeovers. She has been a TIP trainer for 8 years as well. Kelsey has 21 years' experience working with problem horses as well as saddle training countless horses.

"Training horses is an ART to me. The horse speaks through their body, and I listen." ~ Kelsey

Come to the clinic and learn how to speak horse!
If you have questions or want to reserve your spot, please contact Renee Lackey at [email protected], direct message, text or leave a message at 740-457-3984 and I will return your call as soon as I am able. We look forward to seeing you here!!

Dutchess
Ride 1
Give us a Follow to watch her progress!
Feel free to share!

Dutchess is a 6 year old mare from White Mountain, Wyoming. She had her first ride yesterday! She had a couple weeks off from the initial first mount. This mare is so smart. She has so many great qualities. Never puts up any argument, she is gentle, sweet, quiet and love's people.

I picked her out because of Annie. I told myself if I get the chance to train another White Mountain Wyoming mustang, I would do it. Mustang Champions - English Classic Kentucky 2024 . I new she was small but based on her HMA I wanted her and knew she would grow. She went from 13hh to 14hh in 5 months, and still growing. Dutchess is already a fantastic mare.

Tips for using a flag!

How do you introduce a flag to your horse? Comment below!

A flag can be one of your most useful tools when training horses. In Bruno's case, I am using the flag to teach body awareness.

The flag has an endless amount of uses. Currently Bruno he is learning how to move his shoulders and his hips probably without over-crowding the handler. Using my flag as my tool to target the difference points on his body.

Do you have a pushy horse, or one who is constantly in your pocket? These exercises with the flag will help your horse understand space.

Do you have a horse that likes to freeze?

How about using the flag to teach them how to send over obstacles. Teaching a horse to send, is a way for the horse to approach obstacles without any pressure on their face. By using your flag to push from the hind end will help your horse have the confidence to move forward and approach new obstacles. Flags can be the handlers most efficient tool when working with a pushy horse.

Have a horse with a pushy problem or constantly in your pocket?

This is Bruno!
Bruno is currently in training with us. He came in not knowing a whole lot. This week we have been working on teaching him about space.

He likes to put on the brakes at times. Currently we are working on building up his confidence, and doing a lot of feet placement activities.

These are some of our training clips.

Ridgecreek Tack makes incredible halters and leads to help with all our horses. I highly recommend them!

Let me introduce you to my New Year adventure!

Meet Dutchess!
Dutchess is a 5 year old Mustang from White Mountain Wyoming. She is my competition horse for the Mustang Classic held in Kentucky September 2024!

Dutchess is so far, one of the sweetest horses I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I picked her because of my horse Annie.

As you all know Mustang Annie is a very special horse. She was my first Mustang and after 7 years together with Ann, I finally got the opportunity to adopt another White Mountain Wyoming Mustang!

Dutchess is equally as special! Her bravery is outstanding, her trust with humans runs deep. She is kind, gentle, quirky, loving, and intelligent. I am blessed to be her trainer.

Thank you to The Mustang Champions - English Classic Kentucky 2024 , The Mustang Heritage Foundation and the BLM Wild Horse & B***o Program for this opportunity!

Also thank you to Ridgecreek Tack for sponsoring us!
