I have had Ricky since he was 4 months old. I started him under saddle 4 months ago and the experience has opened my mind. So today I wanted them all to have some fun with my experiment on forward movement. It seems like they get stuck alot and transitions can be choppy. I wanted to watch them move out riderless. Within minutes they picked up a pattern along the fenceline and just went for it. I even added jumps. They never hesitated. So now I know that I am the one who is stuck and choppy.
It reminded me of my 3rd and 4th ride. On ride 3 Ricky slipped into a lope from a trot and I let him have it. Next class I very gently asked for the lope from a trot and WOW. He bucked to the end of the arena, spun around and watched me get up off the ground. I am sure I got all balled up anticipating my cue. We’ve progressed but I try to be more aware of my communication.
I think if we spent more time letting our horses go when we ask for it than holding them back we’d all be safer.
Just a thought.

He just figured out he can pull it down. Coco is not fooled.

Ricky is my merry prankster. Scrapes halters over his ears, unties knots ( everyone’s) and constantly pulls my top knot if I don’t pay attention.
I wanted to see what he would do with this ball that is swinging from a retractable extension cord wheel hanging from the ceiling.
He had himself some fun!

I love when they do this. It never gets old.

Kelsey and Jamie had just completed their third lesson of the GET program at TRUST on Ranch and Dami when a tragedy occurred on their farm. Dami got into a bad accident involving her back leg which ended in her having to be put down several days later. A great loss. It has been sad for all of us but heart breaking for Jamie. She lost a friend, her spirit horse. Ranch lost his pasture mate. Everyone is grieving and healing. Hopefully a lovely horse will come into Jamie’s life in the near future.

This is Kelsey with her horse Ranch on just their third class. Innocent looking shots from a not so easy class. Ranch’s pasture mate was not able to come today so Ranch came solo and Jamie rode my school horse Mikey. This was enough to slightly shift the dynamics . I didn’t see it but Kelsey felt it. Our objectives were posting( Ranch has the worst trot) and a mini ride in the field with myself cowalking. We did our ground work but no lunging today, round pen soaked.As soon as Kelsey mounted in the arena she was anxious so we switched gears and worked on lots of leg yielding . Keep the feet moving. Went well. Then Kelsey asked me to ride Ranch . Sure. I pop on and to my surprise he starts pitching and twisting. Got thru that and then he nicely worked some patterns. Another eye opener. I commended Kelsey for realizing her horse was off and not giving up. Even though we had to go back to basics today she actually powered through some very tough moments with her horse. A big lesson in a “buddy sour” situation. She would have never learned this on a school horse.
Ranch gave us one last challenge loading but Kelsey stuck it out and finally walked him on quietly.
How amazing is this woman?! That’s some grit.
