Novacek C**t Co just isn’t the same without sweet Ava in our pens! But she is out doing fun things with her owner and we love seeing them enjoying life together! Ava participated in her first parade and was a huge hit!

Today, we pause with deep gratitude for the way of life we’re so blessed to enjoy—the freedom to swing a leg over a horse and ride into the sunset in this great land of opportunity. The freedom to chase our dreams, to live boldly, and to pursue happiness.

On this Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives to protect those freedoms. Their sacrifice is the foundation of all we hold dear.

We are truly thankful.

Less is more

03/03/2025

“Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much.” — Luke 16:10

This verse has been on my mind a lot this year. If I had to choose a phrase or quote to inspire growth for 2025, it would be this:

✨Be faithful in the little things.✨

It’s easy to chase after the big, heroic achievements, but we all know the feeling of falling short, wondering what happened, and getting discouraged. In our instant gratification society, we forget the reality that we can’t just snap our fingers and reach the top of the stairs — or magically leap to the peak of the mountain. The truth is, it’s the small, everyday steps that get us there.

This applies to every area of life — relationships, weight loss, health, emotional and spiritual growth, finances, horse training… you name it. Start with the basics, stay consistent in the little things, and see where you are in a few weeks. You might be surprised at the progress you’ve made.

Believe in Somebody Else

We live in a world that’s increasingly self-focused. Most of the inspiration, books, and mantras today are centered on us—self-help, focusing on your own goals, dreams, to-do lists, business, and life. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with this, and I have my own dreams, goals, ambitions, and to-dos, it makes me wonder…

Have we forgotten the importance of believing in others?

Just like horses, humans are made for community. Too often, we get so caught up in our own lives that we overlook the opportunity to lift others up. Maybe we have the ability, resources, or insight to give someone else a boost as they chase their dreams.

Life shouldn’t be a cutthroat race to the finish line for ourselves. It should be a team effort—how can we help those beside us? In return, when it’s our turn to need help, someone will be there to support, guide, or contribute to our success.

Let’s believe in each other.
Let’s help the next person following in our footsteps.
Let’s contribute to our communities.
Let’s support small businesses.
Let’s help others win too!

I could not have said this any better!
❇️Please read and take note!!! ❇️

Tip for those with yearlings, two-year-olds getting started soon. If you are planning to send your c**t off to a c**t starter, don't saddle it at home "to get it used to it." Don’t overdo the groundwork. Nothing is worse than a c**t that’s been to "desensitize or dull.” All the young horses need is to lead well, handle feet, and load in a trailer. Let your c**t starter do the rest. Most owners mean well by doing groundwork, but often times when done incorrectly, it only gives more work to the c**t starter.

Here are a few tips:

1. Don’t saddle your babies. It's such an important step in the training, and we see people do it incorrectly, causing unnecessary problems for the young horse’s future!

2. Don’t desensitize your c**ts to bags, flags, or logs. If you want to desensitize, desensitize them to YOU. Just touch and brush. I only desensitized a c**t to get him to soften and be curious about scary things. My flag can be used to sensitize and desensitize. That means my c**t will not be dull, stay soft, curious and responsive to cues regardless of what scary things are going on around them....not pulling, not speeding up or slowing down freezing, or losing curiosity. The worst c**ts I’ve worked with are the over-desensitized ones.

The most stressful experiences a horse goes through in life are weaning and getting started under the saddle. Both are life-changing for them and require a HUGE shift in their view of how to get along with people. So as spring is approaching and you are thinking about sending your young horse off, make sure you make wise choices. Pay a little extra for a good c**t starter that will set your babies up for success.

There is nothing worse than when a client says, “All the groundwork is done, he just needs riding.” Trust me when I say less handling is more on babies. I'd rather have one that has never been touched than one that has been imprinted and over-handled. They are not pets because they grow up with that mentality. It just causes more stress and problems for us to undo before we can even start.
