Beautiful day for working horses!
This 3 year old giant had his first ever ride! And boy is he SMART. He handled everything incredibly well!

A fit horse is SO important. Especially for those that are competing. Fitness is crucial to all horses - even school horses!

I can credit the polo world for a true concept of proper fitness for performance horses. In good programs, the horses often go out twice a day. They go in sets of 3-5 or so horses. They walk for an hour (walking is IMPORTANT too), they trot for 15-20 minutes or so & walk some more. Most are “singled” several days a week. They short work/school them & breeze them out often. You have to condition their lungs too (that’s a whole other conversation I won’t go into right now but we’ll talk about it later). These horses are in incredible shape. They have to be.

I find proper conditioning to be undervalued & quite frankly, many lack knowledge on it. Whether they truly don’t know or they don’t care to know is a different story. You cannot pull your horse out of the pasture on the weekends & go expect them to perform for you after not touching them all week.
You’ll always see the bragging posts like “pulled sparkles out of the pasture after seven months off & entered the jackpot last night!! 7th in the 6D even outta shape!!”
I’m EMBARRASSED for you. That’s not impressive. Personally, I find it cruel & selfish.
That’s like someone pulling your happy ass off the couch after hibernating all winter & making you run a 5k.

Do better. Be better.

The first step when dealing with “blow ups” is to check for pain. Always. Hats off to this trainer for ruling out pain instead of pushing the poor horse through it!

Hello Everyone! It’s been awhile since y’all have last heard from me on this page.
I will be starting to offer training and lesson services once again!
I will permanently no longer be travelling from farm to farm - partially because of COVID, partially for personal reasons. Instead, I will be operating out of Mellow Meadows Equestrian where I will be welcoming haul-in lessons as well as training horses.
Please contact me for pricing and details 🙂
