"A thoroughbred is a horseman's horse. They can be reactive and sensitive. They require consistency and patience. They will make you painfully aware of your shortcomings.
A thoroughbred will also make you realize your strengths. When properly prepared, they will outrun and out-try all the competition. They will give you every ounce of their big hearts.
So, if your horse is spooky, skinny, flighty, or crazy, it's not because your horse is a thoroughbred. It is simply your thoroughbred calling upon you to be the Horseman he needs you to be." ❤️

If this isn't the point... what is?

Building an industry that the next generation is proud to be a part of - not just for the lifestyle, but for the values it instills. Teaching them what a dollar really means. Showing them that grit, consistency, and integrity still matter. This is about more than business

— it's about legacy.

There are many beautiful views in the world, sometimes it’s the little things that we need reminded to slow down 💕
For instance. When a little human picks a mini flower and gives it to you 🥺

They don't just carry us-they guard us. Horses are our keepers, our quiet protectors.

Wednesday Wisdom.

As an instructor, one of the biggest challenges is watching your students struggle. One of the most difficult concepts for students to understand is that the training process is not linear. It is more like the waves of the ocean or the peaks and valleys of a mountain range.
When we begin our training, it seems like the horse learns new concepts each time we ride. These are the times when we feel most excited, accomplished and content.

Then come the setbacks, challenging rides and possibly mental blocks or physical injuries. These can leave even the most accomplished riders questioning their ability, their horse and even their decision to ride. This is when it is important to take a step back and rebuild your horse's confidence and grow your relationship - ask your horse to do something that they find easy or do well and praise him or her for their willingness and try. This will go a long way toward creating a happy and willing partner.

It is important to remember that horses are sentient beings - just like us. They have feelings and emotions
- just like us. They have good days and bad days - just like us. As difficult as it may be, it is our responsibility to temper the valleys and give our horse's the support they need to pull through.

Remember, your horse is your partner and together you will achieve great things.
