Saddling a horse, especially for the first time, should be a fluid process. Learning how to place and cinch the saddle in a way that is respectful to and not offensive to the horse goes a long way toward helping your horse want to willingly accept both the placement of and cinching of the saddle.

Happy 12th birthday Murray! I wouldn’t be where I am today without you. 🤠

Happy birthday to the horse who started it all for me. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner. He’s been there for me and with me through so many c**t starts, working with problem horses, demonstrations, teaching seminars, clinics and lessons, trail rides, and just every day life. He has always done a good job helping, and we have always improved together. I do my best to take care of him as well as he has always taken care of me. Happy birthday Murray. 😊

Remember to take time to just hang out with your horse as well as play with them. 🥰

It’s easy to focus on all the things you want to do with your horse, and a lot of those things matter and are important. At the same time though, remember that sometimes the most important thing for your horse to be able to do well is… nothing. Sometimes just being responsible and standing still is the most needed thing.

“The most important thing your horse can learn how to do is stand still.” - Jordan Brasser

As we enter spring, here is a look back at some fun things from the last few years. Never stop learning. You can always get better. Your horse will thank you. 🤠

Liberty should be more than just something fun to do with your horse. When done naturally, liberty really help create a connection with your horse and helps you develop a good relationship with your horse. It really helps you and your horse learn to work with each other instead of against each other, and it really gets your partnership off on the right foot.

Welcome Annie Mae (the 2 year old bay filly at liberty). 😊 I bought her last year, but she has been at a friends house until now, so I haven’t done much with her. This was the day she arrived, shortly after I introduced her to Murray and Melody. I’m excited to see how she develops as she grows up! 🤠

Tack can be really important, and at the same time very unimportant.

For instance, making sure your saddle fits and allows your horse’s back to move properly is important. If your horse is uncomfortable, then getting upset for behavioral things that could be caused by that isn’t good.

On the other hand, if you are a good horseman, you could do more with a rope halter with tied up lead rope reins than most people could do with the best tack ever made.
