I have had to step out of regular time and space to be present with family right now.
I look forward to when I am back with the horses as they are not only incredible teachers ( even as I am the one training them) but they can be such soothing heart balm and offer space for healing ♥️
But for now, my human family needs my attention

This little cutie turned 4 yesterday 🥰
This is the only horse I have ever had since birth. I know his whole life story. He was born in our backyard when I was taking a short break from farming and decided to rescue mini’s 😂
He is about the sweetest most secure little horse I have ever met. Comes running in from the pasture to say hi and although sometimes he acts like he is “ hot stuff” 5 minutes of attention and grooming and he settles right in to being about the gentlest sweetest eager to do a good job little guy 💗 plus he is Chicago Jack’s best friend!
Moose May Star we love you!!!

Love the versatility of this pony and the Fell pony!
Wonderful to feel what a strong foundation of trail hiking, long lining , learning to be receptive to this pony’s preferred learning, helping him build confidence and encourage his curiosity and getting out and having mutual experiences in different places can do ♥️
First trail ride in quite awhile and I can hop on this 5 year old ba****ck and bitless and he can comfortably lead out on a trail he doesn’t know all that well. I’m so impressed with the navigation skills he has developed over the years and how he checks in with me periodically as we travel down the trail together.

Learning to walk in a straight line slowly while pulling weight takes practice! Very proud of this little gelding!

This is a simple video but this is how it progresses. Small short building blocks laying down a foundation of experience.
This is Heath’s 5th ride and he has moved through with ease understanding me on his back, movement, rein pressure and now combined with leg pressure.
He still has a short duration for all of this input but that is ok. He is doing wonderfully building on his understanding and we have no need to override his threshold. That piece will expand as we go.

This was a few days ago and my 3rd maybe 4th time on Heath. I was checking to see where Heath was at with utilizing my voice and reins to communicate about moving in the space. He was a bit suck so my next ride I utilized some barrels and a motivator for him to move around the arena. I would add stops and influence of trajectory at times but still no leg pressure. He did really well so now I can start adding leg pressure to the “ walk on”.

Well this is sure a nice easy way for Finn to get exposure to the sound of the plastic on the high tunnel he will be working in 🙂. Plus he is helping me with the grass that is growing like crazy right now 😅

Doing a check in with Heath about how he responds to pressure utilizing a skill he already knows, long lining. I’m not talking to him about balance yet, just getting an idea of where he is at with using the reins to talk about trajectory. I was pleased to see he has a good stop to light pressure dialing into my breath as a pre signal.
I prefer to deconstruct skills in training and then layer the pieces together as we progress. I have found this to set a strong foundation and it can help to pin point areas that need work if they come up along the way.

Moose the magnificent!
This adorable little 3yr old pony has been asking me for the last few weeks to do stuff, so yesterday I had a student who was excited about working with him and doing and introduction to the long lines. It was a lesson in how I introduce long lining to horses but Moose is such a rockstar at 3 yrs old that he was also teaching this young student the lines for her first time. I love this lil pony so much, he is like a pure bundle of joy ♥️
This is the first and only equine I have ever gotten to raise from birth ( he was born in our backyard 😂). It’s such a treat to have him around, plus bonus points because he is my quarter horse’s best friend and gets along with everyone 🥰
