Starting to work with the saddle! 😊
Now that I have more control, I'm more trusting to work him in the fields and out of the fence! He did very well! Only working in one area can cause a false sense of security, since as soon as you leave the area the horse could get nervous and lose confidence. Let them venture out a little! Try new things.

Meet Phantom!
Client in for training for the month!
LOVE the way this horse moves, his confirmation is chefs kiss 🤌
He will be for sale! So keep an eye out for this one. Such a lover boy. Loves scratches and being nosy! 🤣

Working on confidence and fine tuning, any holes in training I find will be filled.

Cinnamon was struck by a car today on a county highway at 7am.. being put down.

I first got her in 2018. She was hardly broke, and I was a beginner to horses. Usually that's something I'd say is a huge no no. But she was patient and tolerant of me learning, only throwing me once in all those years. She sparked a passion and interest into training, as I developed my confidence with horsemanship.
Over the years I learned how to train and develop a horse, buying young Colts to repeat the process until I began taking clients.

I trusted her with my life. I knew she would take care of me in any situation. When I broke my arm and had problems putting on a halter, she started helping me and putting her nose in it for me. She was such a sweetheart.

She started having narvicular and pedal bone problems around 2022. Even when I wasn't able to ride her or work her as much, I still enjoyed taking care of her and developing our liberty work instead, having a stronger connection. She was smart, but sassy, so I loved her being a brat. She made it fun and kept me on my toes. Always got a laugh or smile out of me. She was always energetic, had a lot of athleticism, doing rollbacks and trying to cow cut me because she wanted to. That always wanted me to start her on a cow.

I wanted to take her across country this year, camping with the trailer, enjoying nature. I'm saddened I won't get that chance with her now.

She taught me a lot about horsemanship, she was truly my heart horse. I had planned to keep her until her old days..

I love you Cinny! ❤️

Take any chance you can get with nice weather! Can never go wrong with a trail ride with friends! Your horse appreciates it too. 🥰

I like to eventually rely on my legs and seat alone to control my horse. I think it's a fun challenge to advance this type of training! Would love to go bridless one day!

Take a moment in your day to just appreciate what you have 🥰

Having control of the major body parts of a horse is the foundation to everything. I always teach it on the ground and get a good concept before trying to ask undersaddle. I find that dull horses need more repetition to be responsive, and more energetic horses to be more relaxed. I always start tapping the air, just thinking about the manuever. You should never have to constantly ask a horse to get something in return. Nagging turns a horse sour real quick! Be patient but firm! :)

Do your checklists!
Just because a person says the horse is broke doesn't mean anything. There could be holes or confusion in a horse's foundation.
I run through a series of groundwork exercises and acceptance training before even considering getting on.
There's no point on jumping on and risking your life. No one is paying you a million dollars if you break your back! There's no shame in taking a day or two to refreshen a horse's mind.

Girlie was cleared for light work! Which means just hanging out with my girl!
She's in boots with pads and will likely get glue-on shoes.
So glad to see her doing well again.
Just because you can't work hard doesn't mean there isn't training to do.
Across 2 days I got her confident in letting me guide her into the pond. The first day I just asked her to step down onto the "beach". The 2nd day she walked right onto the muddy sand and was curious about the water, walking in!
Building your partnership is always a priority!

Sorry for the inactivity. With her recent diagnosis of pedal osteitis and ligament changes, she's been off work and has been living the spoiled life as I go through my options on how to help her.
Been researching up on my own of hoof trimming to keep her feet where they need to be to help rehabilitate while working with farriers.
Currently been trying to deepen sole thickness and leave her in boots and pads to encourage heel based landings.
It'll be a long journey with it, and hopefully I can stop it from getting worse.

Take your horses OFF property!
If you want your horse calm at the show or event, you need to get them used to being away from home and learning to be okay.
Training in one area gets a horse arena broke. They're used to their environment and see no need to be distracted. Plain and simple, they get bored!
You'll find when you take them somewhere new they can be a bit fresh to deal with. Honestly, this puts your training and connection to a test. Your horse will have more energy but you should be able to bring them back down from results of your hard work. If it's too much don't be afraid to just do groundwork! You don't have to ride if you don't feel confident enough. Showing your horse to trust you through trails and obstacles is much more important.
You can only get better if you push outside your boundaries, that goes for you AND your horse.

To better how you know what it feels like, look for the proper signs on the ground. I like to ask for manuevers both on the ground as well as undersaddle to see if there's conflict of confusion. It's my job to be crystal clear in my communication to make our partnership flow like a conversation. ☺️
