What a perfect National Day Of The Horse we had!

We had the most gorgeous 60 degree day, so we went to the Richard Martin Trail ("Rails to Trails") and rode for just over 15 miles. The trail has bikes (scared my mustang just a little at first), historical sites, and planty of perfect trails to gallop on (the girls and I had a blast!).

Part of the trail took us through the Town of Elkmont , AL and it was truly magical!

We really couldn't have asked for a better day or a better group of horses! How did you celebrate today?

COAL POWERED FLASH ("Red") 2-Year-Old solid Sorrel APHA Gelding

Red is a 2-year-old registered APHA gelding with the potential to excel in any direction. He has had 60 days of professional training with groundwork and started under saddle (WTC). He is doing great off legs and is very willing to please.

Red ties, stands for the farrier, hauls great, bathes, and clips (does require a twitch to clip inner ear). We have him in a pasture with our show horses and babies during the day and he is bottom of the totem pole. He is sound with no known health issues.

This!!! 💯
The amount of parents who have said, "It must be so nice that you have all of these kids to work the horses for you!" It is WONDERFUL that I have all these kiddos that love to ride. Unfortunately, beginners teach the horses bad habits, so they have to have consistent training rides.

I want to address a comment I’ve actually gotten several times from the same person, saying it’s concerning that a kids’ horse needs to be schooled at a show. They’re trying to turn it into a ‘catch me’ moment… but here’s the thing: kids’ horses only stay kids’ horses because adults ride them. A safe, reliable youth mount doesn’t happen by accident. Hollywood and Disney are not real. Stop romanticizing horses. Horses don’t magically sense that it’s a child and behave perfectly. Trust me, I’ve met plenty that would give themselves 100 points for yeeting a kid across the arena.

Kid horses are maintained through consistent schooling, reminders, tune-ups and keeping them honest. If your trainer isn’t regularly riding lesson horses, schooling client horses, and checking in on what your kids are sitting on, that’s when you should be concerned. Any reputable trainer is in the saddle often. It’s literally part of the job. And it’s the biggest reason your child gets to ride a horse who is kind, confident and well-prepared.

They sure are beautiful... 😍

Moving half the herd through the wooded trails the other day (they did NOT belong there!) and they sure were a sight to behold! Seriously, how blessed are we?
