Hey everyone! With the holidays coming up and the colder weather on the way KP Horsemanship will be shutting down temporarily for the season.

This break will give me time to add a few more lesson horses to our program so we can hopefully offer even more opportunities in the new year. 🤎

I will still be offering mobile training sessions for those who have their own horse at home weather permitting, of course.

We hope to open back up after the New Year, once the weather warms and conditions are safe for both riders and horses.

Thank y’all so much for understanding and for an amazing year. Stay warm, enjoy the holidays with your families, and I look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Not my writing but I loved this so much I had to share

Last week, one of my students excitedly showed me her new cowboy boots. She was so proud of them, but then shared how kids at school had bullied her for wearing them with leggings. They called her “fake,” saying she wasn’t “cowboy enough” and wasn’t a “real cowgirl.”

I told her she was more of a cowgirl than any of them because real cowgirls support each other, show kindness, and act with compassion.

Later that week, I had a lesson with a younger student. Her little legs barely reached past the saddle pad, and she had to work hard to give the horse the right cues. She never complained or asked to stop; she just kept trying. I gave her a high five and said, “Well done, cowgirl!” She responded, a bit sadly, “I’m not a real cowgirl; I’m just using your horse for lessons.”

I explained that it’s not the horse, the hat, or the boots that make someone a cowgirl—it’s the dedication, grit, and determination. By that measure, she absolutely deserved the title.

Too often, people call themselves cowgirls (or cowboys) just because they have the look—the ranch, the boots, or the horse. But none of that truly defines them. A real cowgirl is someone who lifts others up, shows resilience, and stays committed, even when things get tough.

So, if you're willing to tear someone down, don’t call yourself a cowgirl. Nobody’s horse is that high.

✨ Mila’s First Lesson Look ✨
Mila is fitting right in! We dolled her up this morning and blinged her out for her very first lesson ❤️

If there were awards for Best Dressed Lesson Horse… pretty sure she’d be taking home at least a ribbon 🏅🐴

✨🐴 Exciting News at the Barn! 🐴✨

We’re so happy to share that we have a new addition to our herd! This sweet girl came from a loving family who wanted nothing more than for her to continue being cherished and cared for. 💕

She is a little older, and we’ll be having our vet out soon to check her teeth and follow up on an old injury that has already healed. We want to make sure she’s feeling her absolute best as she settles in.

Freya has already claimed dibs on her new best friend, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome this beautiful soul into our barn family.

Welcome home, sweet girl!

Learned helplessness is something I see in horses more often than people realize. On the outside it can look like the perfect horse. Quiet. Calm. Doesn’t spook. Doesn’t argue. To most people that sounds like the goal. But to me it can be one of the saddest things to see.

A horse that has shut down is not a horse that feels safe or happy. It is a horse that has learned nothing it does will change the outcome. Somewhere along the way that horse was asked and asked again without ever being given the release it needed to understand. Maybe it was punished for trying. Maybe the pressure never stopped no matter what it did. Eventually that horse just gives up.

You can tell because they stop showing personality. They stop trying new things. They stop thinking. They move because they have to, not because they want to. That is not a willing partner, that is a horse that has learned to survive by staying quiet. And sometimes all that bottled up stress comes out in a big explosion when you least expect it.

That is why the way we train matters so much. Horses need clarity. They need to know there is an answer and that they are capable of finding it. When I work with a horse I use pressure in a way they can understand and the second they even try I give them a release. That release is everything. That is how they learn they can succeed.

I stay consistent so the rules never change on them. I give them time to think so they can figure it out instead of shutting down. I am patient with the little tries because those little tries are what build confidence. And I keep a balance of firmness and kindness. I do not want to bully a horse into submission, but I also cannot let a horse run over me.

My goal is never just a quiet horse. My goal is a horse that understands, that trusts, and that feels confident in itself. I want a horse that meets me at the gate ready to work and a horse that chooses to work with me, not one that has given up and does it out of fear or obligation.

Because every horse deserves more than survival. They deserve partnership.

🌿 Looking for a Lesson Horse 🌿

KP Horsemanship is looking to add a dependable horse to our riding program. This horse would do about 3 hours of light work per week with beginner and intermediate riders. Nothing fancy, mostly walk/trot, with a little cantering if they’re comfortable.

Most importantly, I’m looking for a horse that enjoys children and people. My lessons focus more on horsemanship than just riding, so they’ll need to enjoy standing for grooming, love, and connection just as much as (if not more than) the riding itself.

✅ Open to long-term lease, low rehoming fee, or a no-sale contract
✅ Older horses welcome
✅ Maintenance needs are absolutely fine, they’ll be fully supported

I do have a trusted broker I’ll be purchasing through soon, but before I begin shopping, I’d love to offer a safe, caring place to any horse that might need it. I can provide plenty of references from vets, farriers, chiropractors, past owners, and clients.

📞 256-979-5825
📧 [email protected]

If you have (or know of) a horse that may be a fit for our little program and it needs a good safe landing please give me a call or message!

Yesterday I had the chance to work with some beautiful gaited horses 🐴✨

If you’re in the market for a horse with both eye catching color and a great mind, I highly recommend checking them out!

https://www.facebook.com/share/1B3o68qP6J/?mibextid=wwXIfr

They currently have some very nice ones available, and they’ll be sharing riding videos soon so you can see them in action.😉

Quality horses like these don’t last long, so be sure to follow their page and keep an eye out.

Meet Taz ✨

Taz is gorgeous. He is the kind of horse that makes people stop and stare. But here’s the thing… his beauty is only skin deep. Underneath, Taz has an attitude problem that has given him quite the reputation, both at his farm and with other trainers.

And honestly, horses like Taz are exactly why I do what I do.

Taz is lucky. Because he is so pretty, someone will always want him just to look good in their pasture. However most horses with the same problems are not that fortunate. Horses like that often end up at auctions, sold off to flippers, or even in kill pens. Some just get passed around until they hurt someone or end up forgotten in a field.

Now here is where I am different. I don’t believe in breaking a horse into submission with harsh tack and brute force. That might make a horse obey, but it never builds trust. And I don’t want a horse that just tolerates me. I want one that enjoys being with me.

With Taz, though, I cannot just smother him with love. In his eyes that looks like weakness and it gives him an opening to push back. So instead, I play the long game. I set things up so that every time he tries to test me, I have a way to win without fighting him.

I cannot out muscle him. I am 135 pounds. But what I can do is out think him.

I put him in situations where he has to figure out the answer, and the moment he gives me even a try, I release all pressure. It is a conversation, not a battle.

And you know what, it is working.

So far I have been able to sit on Taz, both in the saddle and ba****ck, and he walked off soft and willing. We have worked on flexing, moving off leg pressure, and listening with no bit, no force, just communication.

Taz is teaching me just as much as I am teaching him, and that is the beauty of horsemanship. Every horse has a story, even the difficult ones. Especially the difficult ones and if your open to it every single horse can teach you something new🐴💚

When you come out for a lesson, we start in the arena. That’s where you learn the basics, how to use your seat, hands, and legs, how to steer, stop, and keep both yourself and your horse safe. The arena is our safe classroom, where we can focus without too many distractions.

But here’s the thing: the goal isn’t to live inside the arena forever. Once you have the tools and confidence, we want to take those skills out.

✨ Out into the fields to stretch out and feel your horse move freely.
✨ Out onto the trails where you and your horse get to see new sights and sounds together.
✨ Out to new arenas, new places, and even around new horses and riders.

That’s where the training comes to life! when you can apply what you’ve learned in different spaces and situations. It’s not just about controlling your horse, it’s about building a partnership that works anywhere you go.

The arena builds your foundation. The world beyond the arena builds your confidence. And that’s where the real joy of riding lives, exploring, connecting, and experiencing the beauty around us from the back of a horse. 💚🐎
