Bel took the saddle for the first time yesterday. He had one kick out of disapproval and then settled into working like an old pro. He’s a smart guy and he enjoys working and using his mind. He’s going to make such a fun partner!

I spy a cute little Aries with a halter on! I can’t wait to see her start making progress now that we can more easily attach to her. And don’t worry, the crown is very much a breakaway- in fact I’m hoping that it’s still on her by tomorrow because I chose a halter with a very dry rotted leather piece 😅

The cutest duo! Sunny has been making great progress lately. She is very much a yearling still but Billy Bob is helping her find her way in the world. Sunny can do basic groundwork now and happily pony with Billy Bob all over the farm. She can pick up all 4 feet and we can’t wait to have her long toes trimmed for the first time ever. We are so excited with her progress. Her eager personality makes her a phenomenal student!

Bel has settled in and started boot camp. He wasn’t very happy about this new life when he first got here but now he’s relaxed and eager to learn. He learned how to pony with Ella and Billy Bob and he seems to really enjoy it! A little too much at times as he kept trying little nibbles. Billy Bob was quick to tell him that nibbling was not allowed 🚫 and after that he settled right into an easy rhythm. We have been doing lots of various desensitization exercises to help him keep his brain calm and thinking. He is quite smart and enjoys having a job!

Aries might not have a halter yet but she came so close to letting me get it on her today. I was able to rub all over her face while she remained calm and thoughtful. This cute girl is taking a bit of time and patience but there’s gold underneath all the fear. When she arrived she would start trembling in fear with the slightest amount of pressure (think looking at her too directly for too long). I love watching her anxiety melt away more and more every day! She is still young and once she has a better handle on domestic life she will be a fun partner.

Catch a glimpse of the new cutie at the barn ☀️ Beltane “Bel” is a 3 year old saddlebred gelding. Bel is on the look out for some new and improved ground manners and basic foundation work. We are excited to help him through this process and help him find the best version of himself.

Sunny the cutest little yearling filly. She is acclimating well to her new pampered lifestyle. She is learning to lead better every day, learning to pick up her feet, and start basic groundwork exercises. She’s about as cute as it gets. Her willing and curious personality makes for great learning progress!

I thought I was recording her progress today but apparently my phone only took pictures 😆

We had such a fun day at schooling over courses and XC. Carolyn and Osiris have only seen big jumps once before and this was the perfect low key environment to help Osiris build confidence. They so awesome! Osiris (last clip) is for sale so if interested reach out and I will put you in touch with his people. Makena and Caviar absolutely rocked their first outing together! Emma and Soldier showed huge improvement over last season and I can’t wait to see how they go this season. Thank you for keeping us fed. We couldn’t do it without you!

Poor Aries thinks I’m traumatizing her for sure. Today she allowed me to get close enough to scratch her nose and shoulder. She wasn’t super thrilled but she accepted it quietly. I managed to calmly get a rope around her neck and start teaching her to move when pressure is applied. If you watch the video you will notice that she starts off curious and rather polite and then she ”accidentally” looks at me with 2 eyes and her world fell apart. I was no longer just the scary human in her right eye, I was now the super monster in both eyes. And she freaked. I calmly stayed in my corner and waited (& hoped she didn’t decide kicking was the answer 😅). She quieted and then I resumed asking her to politely look at me. As soon as she did we both breathed and I gave her space to think about how not scary I actually am. Aries is a pretty smart gal but she lives in a world full of fear and anxiety. I’m trying to help her slowly build confidence and trust so that one day her walls will come down and her first instinct won’t be to run in fear as a prey animal.

The feral ladies are very slowly starting to come around. I was able to give them both wither scratches today before turning them out to graze. This is the first time either of them have allowed me close enough to touch them and they both stayed calm and thoughtful 👏🏼

Phoebe from is settling in well here. She is pregnant and feral and we are slowly working on building trust. She is steadily gaining weight as she settles into a comfortable routine. We hope to have her more comfortable and confident around people by the time she is ready to bring her new foal into the world.
