No horse has ever read your training contract. 🫣

You can plan all you want — 30, 60, 90 days — but horses don’t follow calendars. They move at their own pace. Some take three days to figure out how to move their hindquarters, others get it in twenty minutes. Some days we make progress, some days we repeat exercises, and some days feel like a standstill. Hell. Some days we’re right back where we started. 😅
But at the end of the day, the horse sets the pace.

C**t starting — or any type of horse training — isn’t about rushing to deadlines. To me, it’s about building on each session, gaining trust, and giving them a strong foundation for the next step in their journey.
Consistency matters. 🙌

The horse will let you know when they’re ready for the next step — whether it’s the first saddling, first ride, or first anything. Our job is to stay present, listen, and offer steady support so they can keep building on what they’ve already learned.

Ten days in, and she’s rocking her first saddle 💜🤩

No buck, no fuss — just pure progress. We’ve spent the last week and a half getting to know each other, building trust and introducing new things. Well, last night she proved she was ready to add the saddle into the mix.

PS - my fiance is the BEST for being my personal photographer 💕

2 yo Darzel has continued to settle nicely since arriving Friday!

She’s definitely a quick learner, wants to please- and of course she’s gorgeous too!

It’s one thing to have someone who cheers you on from the sidelines.

It’s another to have someone who steps right into your world, gets their hands dirty, and learns alongside you.

On Darzel’s very first day here, after I spent some time with her, John walked right up with no expectations — just calm energy and a willingness to connect. I had the end of the rope in my hands, and left quite a bit of slack. He started petting her face, even running his hands over her ears like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Now… with new horses, I sometimes have to remind John that they don’t know what our horses know (yet)— so going straight for the ears and face without caution is not the recommended approach. 😂 But in this case, it worked out perfectly, and it was the start of building trust.

For a horse, those quiet moments are the start of desensitizing… for me, it’s the start of realizing how lucky I am to have a partner who not only supports my passion, but isn’t afraid to be part of it. ❤️

Moral of the story-
Don’t settle for less. If your partner wants to support you, encourage you, JOIN you- they will show up. John has absolutely shown up for not only me, but the horses too- for which I’m incredibly grateful for.

First day with Darzel and John goes straight for the ears..😅

Not usually my recommended intro- but it worked and he’s already winning her over.

Building trust starts small. 💕

So happy to welcome Darzel to Grounded C**t for the next few months! 💜💜

She’s in for c**t starting, having spent the first two years of her life just growing up and enjoying being a baby horse. Now she’s off to school — starting with the basics, from the ground up. 🤩

I truly believe what they learn first is what they learn best, creating habits that can stick with them forever. Can’t wait to see where this journey takes us and all the amazing things Darzel will learn along the way!

✨ Sippin A Cat N Tonic "Roo" ✨
2024 AQHA • Bay Roan • Filly

Roo is the sweetest little filly! 💕 She’s a fast learner, eager to please, and honestly the most precious thing I’ve ever owned 😅🥰

She’s now been to two open shows, showing in showmanship, off lead showmanship, and halter, and I couldn’t be prouder of how she’s handled everything! This girl is going to make someone an incredible partner down the road. We’ll continue showing her in ARHA yearling in-hand trail and halter this season.

Roo is not actively for sale, but I would consider letting her go to the perfect show home with the right offer. 💫
