First show of 2025 ✔️

Barb had her first show ever! She was a bundle of nerves but they did great. Congrats on a great debut!

Beth and Brody started the year off right (in a western saddle 😜) and venturing into basic level with two nice rides

Make sure to check out Sobolewski Horsemanship at Divergent Stables, LLC at Rick's Saddle Shop on May 3!

Watch her liberty demo and if you’re interested in trying it yourself we are hosting a clinic with Paulina through Wild Strides - Promoting American Mustangs in July! Any of our students can attend and borrow a horse for the day.

Visited Bella Rosa stables today for a mini clinic with our favorite WDAA judge Lynn Newton!

Brody and I got a taste of first level working on our leg yields, reins backs and turn on the forehand/haunches.
Jenna and Nova worked on getting her more collected and staying consistent in their gates.
It feels good getting back into the swing of things after the winter we just had!
Can’t wait for our next lesson ❤️

Topics will cover everything from safe handling while leading to in hand trail courses to learning gentling techniques for previously wild horses. No horse experience is required.

Sessions will be held
Thursday evenings beginning in May from 5-6:30pm
Parents are welcome to stay or drop off as long as you return to pick up your child by 6:30pm

❄️ Day 934658 of winter ❄️
3 hay trips this week, that’s my new record.

The horses have been fine! If anything they’re enjoying their vacation. However I’m hoping that soon I won’t have to break ice out of water buckets more than once per day.

We still have snow in the ground but if the temperatures come up a bit we will be holding lessons next week! I will reach out to everyone to confirm the day before your scheduled lesson

We had a fun evening at the ECRDA banquet last night!
Congratulations to all on a very successful year

Thanks for braving the cold! ❄️
Groundwork lessons are in session. Winter is looking like it won’t be kind to our riding schedule. We will be holding daytime groundwork lessons while the temps are low. And will resume evening lessons once we get some warmer weather.
From taming mustangs to afternoon snuggles we cover it all ❤️

Snow day! ❄️

Lessons for this week will be based off of the amount of snow we receive and the temperatures. As of right now it is looking like no riding or evening lessons. Daytime lessons while the sun is shining doing groundwork only due to extreme cold. If we get a lot of snow we may not be able to hold groundwork lessons.
I will be in touch as the weather decides what it wants to do!
