5-year-old Merlin is really starting to come into his own!

Freshly bathed, conditioned, and drying in the Arizona sunshine, Merlin (out of the amazing SD Touchdown) is looking every bit the part. This handsome guy is all bone, feather, and personality, with the kind of steady, willing mind that makes him a pleasure to work with.

Merlin is progressing beautifully in our riding program, confidently walk-trot-cantering on a loose rein, moving off the leg nicely, and taking everything in stride.

We're excited to keep adding miles and experiences this summer, and I can't wait to get him up into the mountains this fall.

Keep an eye on this one... he's only getting better. 😉🐴

Nothing says "good morning" quite like finding a long-nosed snake under a water trough!!

After an impressive demonstration of Olympic-level slithering and my own graceful display of not screaming, he was safely relocated - thanks to Darren lol

The horses were absolutely no help, as usual, and a little too curious for my liking. 😂🐍

❤️ A Thought for Today ❤️

You never really know what someone is carrying.

The person who smiled at you today may be fighting a battle you can't see.

The horse standing quietly in the pasture may have taken years of patience to get there.

The friend who seems to have it all together may be holding on by a thread.

Kindness costs nothing. A compliment takes seconds. A little grace can change someone's entire day.

The world gives us enough reasons to be impatient, critical, and divided.

Be the reason someone feels seen.
Be the reason someone smiles.
Be the reason someone remembers there are still good people out there.

And if you're having a hard day yourself, remember this:

You don't have to have everything figured out.
Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. ❤️

Sometimes that's more than enough.

✨ The world could use a little more kindness today. Pass some along if you can. ✨

🐴 HORSE OWNER CONFESSION TIME 🐴

We'll go first...

Sometimes we walk outside specifically to check on a horse.

Horse is fine.

So we check another horse.

That horse is also fine.

Then we check the first horse again... just to be sure.

Then we stare at all of them for 15 minutes looking for problems that don't exist.

Then one of them looks at us funny and suddenly we're halfway to a veterinary degree.

🤣

Horse Owner Thoughts:

"Was that cough normal?"

"Does that leg look different?"

"Is he standing weird?"

"Is Thor stuck again?"

"Is she sleeping or dead?"

Meanwhile the horse is thinking:

🌾
🌾
🌾
"Food."

👇 Be honest...

What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever worried about that turned out to be absolutely nothing?

No judgment here. We've all been there. 😂

🎉 We are excited to welcome TWO new additions to Silverado Horses!

Meet Pepsi and Nacho, our newest AQHA prospects and the first horses joining our brand-new Silver Saddle Program. 🤠

The Silver Saddle Program is designed to produce quality young horses with a solid foundation and the confidence to continue their training journey with their future owners.

Each horse receives extensive Groundwork and handling, including months of:

• Walk, trot, canter, and backup.
• Body control and responsiveness.
• Trail riding.
• Obstacle exposure and confidence building.
• Grooming, bathing, farrier handling, and trailering experience.

Our goal is to create safe, willing, well-rounded horses that understand their job and have the tools needed to succeed in their next home.

We are excited to watch Pepsi and Nacho begin their journey and look forward to sharing their progress along the way! 🐴❤️

Thor would like everyone to know that his new fly mask is very fashionable.

He would also like everyone to ignore the fact that he somehow managed to get himself stuck... again. 🙄

At this point, we're not sure if we're training a horse or supervising a very large toddler.

Oakley said if he has to wear a fly mask, he’s at least going to make himself look as unhinged as possible 🤣No… his legs...

No… his legs aren’t crooked. Possibly his brain, but not his legs 🤦‍♀️
