I saw this video on facebook and thought it was pretty awesome… So many people think it’s a small portion of horses that can do, or should do dressage, and those groups are stereotypically dressage competitors and eventers. The thing is, that is sooooo not the case! Every person and horse should experience some dressage [...]

Right now my goal: to be happier with myself, and get in better shape. This is all, of course, tied into my long term goal of becoming a horse trainer. It’s weird to come to a realization.. Ever since the last blog post where I “decided” what I wanted to do, my mind has calmed [...]

Two years ago we sold one of our stb’s to an Amish man in Millersburg, IN. He was sold with the understanding that he would call us if he decided he didn’t want him anymore. I called several times to check on him and [...]

As a kid, we all got the “what do you want to be when you grow up?” type questions. They change through time, but until you get a real job, people continue to ask what you want to do and what you’re going to do when you get out of school with your degree, etc. [...]

A year ago today, in 2010, my grandmother passed away. On Christmas of 2010, I was so busy rushing to get our horse’s out of a crazy lady Karen’s barn, I didn’t see her. I missed my chance to see my Grandma, for the last time, on Christmas. I was, for a lack of better [...]

I got to thinking the other day.. When was the last time I rode a horse? Well… 4-5 months I believe. The weird thing is I don’t have the drive to ride right now. There are reasons, I still love horses and working with them. But this got me thinking to why I haven’t ridden… Well, we only have 1 horse that I could ride [...]

I’m working with Annie on the straightness training. Our current exercises include the LFS (lateral bending, forward down, and stepping under) at a walk on a circle, short bursts of LFS on a line, and the shoulder-in. One of the problems I have been having with Annie was her walking to fast. All of this [...]

I decided recently Brady should get some more ground work attention. We usually take him on walks and brush him, even tack him up for his walks. But I think it’s time for me to ask a little more of him. Not too much more, just some trotting and some ground poles. Using his brain [...]

Yep, ready… for… the next step in his training. Still short sessions, but some more trotting and work. He’s a big boy and he’s put on some weight since being at the new barn. He felt so great the other night he kept pawing while I was leading him and eventually reared up. He was [...]
