When we only have a little over a week between shows, we have to be strategic.

Coming off the APHA Western Nationals, means giving our horses a well-deserved break, while working on our own lessons learned from the last show.

We focus on memorizing patterns and preparing our mindset so we can best be prepared for our horses when we head to the APHC Harvest of Color!

It’s often hard to show the reality of the show pen, but the truth is, this APHA Western Nationals was a challenge for us. A lot of learning happened, and we faced real adversity, but that doesn't diminish the incredible moments and improvements made. I am so proud of my clients for staying tough and showing up with heart every single day. That's the real win. 💙💛

We’ll only judge a little... but having a properly maintained arena is crucial!

It directly impacts your horse's safety, joint health, and ability to perform the complex maneuvers we ask of them. Good footing is essential for a good ride.

We're mindful of these words this week! 💙💛

From finding the joy in every ride to focusing on the process, not the outcome, and showing up as the confident rider you picture yourself to be.

What are you working on before a show?

A perfect ride starts with a healthy horse!

A huge thank you to our incredible partners at Formula 707. Their supplements keep our horses feeling their best from the inside out, giving them the support they need to perform at the highest level. We're so grateful for the partnerships that help us succeed!

October is here with chilly nights, which we all know can lead to some spooky horses! Dealing with the change in seasons and the sun setting earlier can be a challenge.

Here are a few tips to help you and your horse work through it! 🎃👻

Stay Calm & Confident: Your calm demeanor and confident position can reassure them that there is no real threat.

Groundwork First: Before you get in the saddle, work your horse on the ground to get them focused on you and burn off excess energy.

Desensitize Gradually: Introduce new sights and sounds slowly to build their confidence.

Keep Them Thinking: Use transitions and bending exercises to keep their mind engaged and focused on you.

Be Prepared for the Dark: As the days get shorter, make sure you have proper lighting in your arena.
