**Message me for pricing** Beyond the Brim Horse Training supports this piece of advice 100%, Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a perfect horse. Melanie Augustynek, founder of Beyond the Brim Ranch was raised in western New York, she foun

d a passion for horses at a young age and quickly began diving into a truly western lifestyle. Melanie has managed a farm of 50+/- rescue horses with daily tasks including rehabilitating sick or mistreated horses, administering veterinary care, starting and training horses of various different ages and experience levels, and maintaining overall farm standards. For the speed events, she has worked very closely with local IBRA and NBHA champions including Angel Hoyt with A Team Riding Lessons. She has competed in numerous events and super shows across middle Tennessee bringing home regular checks on her beautiful buckskin Elio. She has also participated in a Connie Combs clinic last August where she was able to expand her barrel racing knowledge with a world renowned champion. Her inspirations include Sherry Cervi, Connie Combs, Fallon Taylor, and Kenda Lenseigne. Melanie regularly strives to achieve peace with all her training horses; a peace where the horse is taught to love their alpha, their job, and their home.

No silly business, no rear, no buck, no spook, or bite.
He has a GOOD mind.
Will cross water, obstacles, and jump logs with no hesitation.
I could see him doing well with a handy youth rider, he likes kids. Take him on trail, take him to a schooling show, take him for a playday at saddle club.
His one small vice is that he has just recovered from some sores in his ears that are now fully healed. He was getting medicine on them twice a day, and absolutely hated it, sometimes he is head shy around his ears because of it.
He sat in a field for a while and has low miles, he’s been in my program for almost 30 days and will remain here until he sells.

There are barrel racers and there are barrel racers. There are the kind that help their horses balance and there are the kind that don't. Good riders balance their horse to help them keep their center of balance centered in their body mass, not leaning outside of it. Riders do this by keeping their body mass and center of balance over their horse's center of balance.

The rider on the right is putting more weight in the outside stirrup, which helps the rider stay more upright and centered over the horse's body mass to maintain a more effective shared balance with their horse.

The horse's head position at right is aligned vertically with the rider's balance. This demonstrates the more effective shared balance between the horse and rider. Effective shared balance makes the turn easier for the horse, and it eliminates much of the horse's difficulty in transitioning to the upright position required to take off fast to the next barrel.

The left rider is a passenger aligned with their horse's lean into the turn. The rider is aligned more with the centrifugal force of the turn, which drives the horse outward from the line of the turn. It also intensifies the angle of the horse's lean in the turn, which can slow the horse's transition to an upright exit from the turn into the needed acceleration to the next barrel.

Note that the balanced horse on the right is already lifting their inside foreleg to begin accelerating to the next barrel while the left horse is struggling with their leaning in the turn. Look at the left rider's feet in the stirrups. The outside foot has almost no weight in the stirrup while the inside foot has almost all the rider's weight in the stirrup. This intensifies the horse's leaning in instead of limiting it for a better balance turn.

Riding in shared balance with your horse means you must bring your own good balance to the party in order to share it with your horse for a more effective ride. When a rider balances only by following the horse's balance, they are a passenger contributing nothing to the ride.

The connection between horse and rider is pivotal in the arena.

"There’s no substitute for paying attention to detail and spending time with them." - Lisa Lockhart

"I think when you are seasoning out a horse for this kind of stuff, I think that that bond is so important so they can lean on you, and you can lean on them a little bit." - Tricia Aldridge

"It's a team effort. Obviously, the horse has to trust it's jockey and the jockey has to trust the horse." - Michelle Alley

Nobody claps in the middle.
They cheer at the win. They show up for the highlight reel.
But the middle — the part where you’re tired, unsure, and doing it anyway — that’s where champions are made. Stay the course. You will be shocked how many won't. Your job is to stay in the middle! You've got this cowgirl!

Thankful for good horses and good weather this week☀️🕶️
