Manitou Farm’s miniature horse named Mini Mouse (aka Girl Ponig) was being taken care of by a young equestrian on this glorious Fall day. She learned how to properly halter, tie up with the quick release knot, saddle and bridle her new favorite horse. Grooming is always fun but picking hooves is a new acquired skill. Leading and riding was fun and included navigating the cones in serpentines, gait changes, sitting and two-point trotting. She did excellently and loved her experience today.

Saturdays mean spending time with four-legged friends. And two-lagged friends too.

Cool weather and warm ponies. What could be better? Group grooming, serpentines, cavaletti, and lunging lesson with brothers as the teachers today. Thank you Saunders Farm for sharing your beautiful grounds!

Rain rain go away, but we still rode this Saturday. Lesson included learning where the Dressage letters were located, riding diagonals to change direction, 10 meter circles, and sit trot. Soaked through and cold, yet smiles and fun ruled the day.
