I have a couple horses coming in tomorrow so I had to move some horses around so I could quarantine the new ones. Addi got to go out with his girls. I love that he gets to have these moments of really being a horse, and that he doesn’t lose his head. My mares keep him humble😂

So this is new to me this year and I just got traction mats on it so this was my first real opportunity to play with it. I really enjoyed watching how Meeko processed this one. This is the perfect example of what I’m trying to develop in my horses- he tested it, made an assessment, and calmly moved forward. My goal is to teach them to think through things rather then react. He really aced it the second try!!
Happy 3rd Birthday Meeko!!!

Now this is an advanced obstacle so I am introducing it essentially a step at a time. My Dad made it in a way to mimic some terrain he would actually ride through heading up a mountain canyon to hunting camp. Proprioception is key!!

Meeko is learning to step up on the balance beam- this can be a tough one at first because their natural instinct is to avoid it and step around. I often physically put their foot up there at first so they make the connection easier. He is learning the verbal cue “ step up” to know he needs to step onto the beam. Anything I can do to teach them to pay attention to foot placement is my favorite 👌🏻

Meeko had a big day the day before with a very physically taxing ride, so we stuck to obstacles the next day. I don’t think water crossings will be an issue🤔🥰 Stay tuned for the several other obstacles he tried out as well.

Meeko ride 12…. Or 13….its hard for me to keep track at this point😆 Regardless, outstanding is an understatement. 4.3 miles through some fairly difficult terrain- especially for his first trail ride and where he’s at in his training. I definitely would not do this with just any horse, but I know his bloodlines. I know his brain. I know the groundwork and prep work that has gone into him both by me and his owner. I knew he could handle it and handle it he did. Up hills, body control down hills, picking his way through rocks, side hilling, in a decent sized group to boot! He aced it all proving himself extremely sensible and sure footed. The video is pretty long but I just couldn’t cut out any of the glorious views. Enjoy! But ignore my babbling at my horse😂
