Here is your daily reminder to CHECK YOUR TACK!

This latigo was put on my saddle roughly two years ago when I purchased it and with almost constant use, as anything, it really began to wear. Just because it doesn’t look terrible doesn’t mean it isn’t an accident waiting to happen- REPLACE IT! Your latigo and off billets go through a lot of stress so checking them both before each ride is essential.

Whether it’s eliminating the negativity from your life, focusing on horsemanship, or rearranging your priorities remember success isn’t always about having the best mount or most talent, sometimes it’s about knowing how to handle your confidence to optimize your opportunities. There are a million and one ways to become a champion and I know there are more than five ingredients to becoming mentally strong, but I hope these five guidelines will help you along your journey to the pay window.

Five tips to help keep you on point:

1.) Make your only competitor YOU. Strive to be the best you can be by continually growing and improving.
2.) Keep the ‘what ifs’ at bay. Develop an awareness of when you mentally leave the NOW and jump ahead into the future. And then, bring your focus back to the present task.
3.) Re-evaluate your priorities. What is limiting you? Address the issue.
4.) Be prepared and have confidence. Prepare yourself for every situation before competition, that way you will have the confidence that you and your horse can handle any situation.
5.) Don’t be discouraged. Everyone fails. Everyone! Learn from the mistakes and work to overcome adversity. Success will follow.

Ready for summer and barrel races? Me too!

For those getting geared in for MBRA, we have 68 days until our first race (April 26th) which means its time to start getting your equine partners in shape for the season! This gives you roughly two months of riding to get back in running shape.
Just remember, working horses during these cold spells needs to be done properly! Under 20* will have a effect on your horses lungs so keeping your rides simple is the healthiest option. Sweat is inevitable (and needed) while getting your horses in shape- Make sure you properly dry your horses off after your rides! Coolers are the best option and will wisk away their sweat to prevent them from getting cold and sick.

Henry and I are both pooped after asking him to canter under-saddle the first time. Hands down one of the most stubborn and so predictably unpredictable horses i work with but the goods are so rewarding!

“Your horses are remarkably calm!” Yes, and here’s why. Exposure fosters confidence, and confidence yields quiet behavior. If your horse is easily startled, it’s likely due to a lack of confidence, triggering a natural flight response. Proper exposure and desensitization cultivate stability, confidence, and trust in the rider-horse relationship, while promoting healthy curiosity. (This is extremely beneficial.) When exposing and desensitizing, proceed in gradual steps. Flooding your horses is easily done, and once they reach that point, it’s challenging to regain their composure. Ensure you address each item systematically and take breaks every couple of minutes or when they’re standing quietly, licking & chewing, or displaying curiosity.

Always a fun day when it’s spent with Ashleigh Roberds and her gals!

I just love ending every Friday between Ms. Skyes ears. 🖤

Often I get asked why my horses are so quiet.. and it’s simply because we don’t tiptoe around them. They’re exposed to machinery, vehicles, a mud truck and anything else you can think of on a almost daily biases. Tiptoeing around your animals solves nothing and almost always causes more issues than not.
