I got out to the barn again today, which was very nice. I wasn’t sure what to do with them… I guess I never really have a plan. I have ideas of what I want to try or do, but those are always subjective to each horses’ mood and how things go that day… I [...]

School has kicked into high gear since returning and needless to say, for me it has been an adjustment. Even just 1 week of living the barn life made me want it even more… All in time I keep telling myself. So, I didn’t get out there for 2 weeks! Ugh! And I could tell… [...]

It’s been a fabulous spring break! Lots of horse time and the rest of the time was spent working in our yard at our new house. In my last time out to the barn for spring break we brought a visitor – a friend from school to meet the horses and see what we do [...]

Since the weather has warmed up in the past week our barn has opened the arena doors! It’s very nice, lots of natural light, a breeze now and then and all the distractions! Haha. I know it’s good for the horses, but it will take a few times for Annie to get used to the [...]

Ok, my first official training report for the afternoon/evening of March 8, 2012. I worked with Angel and Annie and started with Angel. Angel usually has more energy and depending on the temps, may need cooled down so I usually start with her. I also just started Angel in straightness training, and it can be [...]

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.
