First rides!
To saddle or not to saddle ?
When starting horses and putting the first couple rides on I will start off ba****ck 99% of the time - for a few reasons! One being, I prefer to introduce the horse to a rider with as minimal distractions as possible. Over stimulation isn’t just something people experience, and the combination of too many unfamiliar sensations can play a huge part in first rides. Hopping on ba****ck for the first few times I’m on a horse’s back allows them to feel the weight and sensation of a rider without having to also be preoccupied thinking about a saddle, cinch, bridle, or anything else.
Is this a painfully boring video? Yes! Is that exactly how every first ride should be? YES! This little two year old is so sensitive and reactive, I was so pleased with her being as relaxed and comfortable as she was today.

Hi folks! With how things are looking so far this year I’m thinking of opening my books back up and taking in a few horses in this next little bit.
Offering c**t starting, tune ups, conditioning, halter breaking, exposure, you name it;)
My program is geared towards creating soft, willing, all around horses that excel in any direction they are taken. With a huge focus on establishing trust and respect between both the horse and rider. All my horses are ridden out on pasture, through bush/water, exposed to vehicles, dogs, cattle, ropes, etc.
I do not rush my horses, they are allowed to progress to the next step as they are ready instead of pushing them to their max and creating distrust/blow ups.
Please shoot me a message if you’re interested in booking some spots this spring/summer!
