Simon and Bodie ❤️ They are about the same age. Bodie is shy, but not with horses. Something magical is happening and I’m blessed to witness it. Shayna Tokheim

Farrier came today! Everybody is on a six week schedule. Birdie’s feet have really turned around. No more dead laminae in the toe.

They were all dewormed on Tuesday and the vet is scheduled for November 2 for teeth and sheaths.

Last night we decided to try vaulting gear on Simon. He acted like it was just another day. Veronica then decided to try some things on him and guess what? This is his calling. He shocked us beyond words. This is his first time for the gear and the vaulting 😮

If you are in the Prescott, Wisconsin area, vaulting and trick riding lessons are available with Horsemanship Unlocked.

A while back, we got an unhandled long yearling came from auction. The more I worked with him, the more I thought about who would be a good match for him.

Having the correct match is the number one thing that preserves relationships. It is the safest bet for a best case scenario. Temperament, energy, and expectations power the relationship as the horse and owner are today. Today. Not what could be or might be.

Big Creek Horse and Mule worked a small miracle on a horse we had. I stand behind them and their training methods. When I saw what “Frosty” was, I immediately thought of John. I told him, “If this horse was a person, he’d be you. If you were a horse, you’d be him.” I sent him for training and guess what? It was indeed a match.

Here they are today. I couldn’t be more proud. He is now appropriately known as “Kuzco.” It’s a great name and much more creative than “Frosty.” Thank you for making Kuzco the best of everything.

I only made it through part of the list. Some “dex” is on the list. If you have a horse with heaves getting dexamethazone, you may want to check your bottle.

Medications shipped nationwide from February through early October may contain too little or too much active drug. The company has reported 98 complaints to date—7 of them serious.

Poppy update! Poppy came as an owner surrender in August 2022. When she arrived she was thin and her feet were in terrible condition. She was given time, vet and farrier care, and nutrition. After some trail riding time, Poppy is still doing wonderfully. She has now retired and is loving now being a pasture pet.

Horses wear their love and Poppy is wrapped in it. ❤️

I posting her now photo first. I have also included what she looked like when she arrived. She is a tattooed OTTB.

Simon has been challenging to consistently get loaded in the trailer. On Tuesday, we loaded and went to the neighbors (trainer). I figured if he didn’t get back in the trailer I could walk him home. Short ride under saddle, keeping expectations consistent. He loaded back up and we went home. He was cool as a cucumber the entire time. So proud of him! ❤️ Horsemanship Unlocked
