Two months ago I lost one of my best friend as a terrible house fire claimed her life. She was an impressive archer and I was of course a horseback rider…we had a wild goal of one day combining our skill sets and taking on Mounted Archery together.
Though she is gone, I plan to honor her by continuing our goal and learning archery in order to compete in Mounted Archery. This will soon be incorporated in my business, so her memory lives on.
If anyone has any advice or offer any help with archery, it would be greatly appreciated as I’m sure I will need it!

This week, my lesson students practiced posting on the “correct diagonal”. This is widely used in English disciplines and widely UNDER used in western discipline. If your horse has a bouncy trot, it is kinder to post rather than slam on their back. It’s also best to learn how to post on the correct diagonal pair of legs. This allows your horse to stay balanced and collected, especially while utilizing circle work. Come join me for lessons and advance your skills!

Briar
We don’t give horses enough credit for their intelligence and willingness to learn. Briar reminds me of that after just 4 days of training. I’m jealous I’m not her owner.
Sophie
This is what happens when you ask a lesson kid (olivea!!) to record for you.🤣 But this is also what happens when you do all your ground work right when starting a horse. This is Sophie’s (the horse) first ride! So calm and uneventful!
Merlot
This pair is one of my favorites 😍 kodee finished Merlot out as a barrel horse and this was their FIRST time competing! 18.18 seconds!!! Loess Hills Appaloosas
Chief
I love it when easy horses come in for training. Chief, the drum horse has been here one week. Nothing phases him
Putts
Who’s interested in a solid, safe horse?! Putts will be coming up for consideration around the end of February. Super well mannered horse. He is a grade 16yr quarter horse. I will continue to take video and pics this month of his abilities. Message me if you are interested in meeting this guy!
Camp counselors had to work twice as hard after camp getting their horses to barrel race in line together! Kodee Johnsen, Kymber Johnsen, cate Brunow
Kodee Johnsen and Kymber Johnsen was the halfttime performance in a RODEO!! How many people can say they’ve done that?!?! They did SO GOOD!!!
With all the craziness of parades, rodeos, and shows this week, I decided to take a break and spend some time with my wonderful girl. She continuously reminds me why she is my heart horse 😍
