The spring 2026 installment of our Wyoming clinic was a huge success! As always, huge thank you to Gary and Stephanie Blackshire for hosting us and to for all your planning and support! Can’t wait to head back in the fall!

Simplicity was the name of the game this past weekend. Excellent ex*****on and attention to detail were the predominant themes with extensive work over ground rails and cavalettis. It’s amazing what you can uncover with strategic cavaletti tracks! We have found that this type of works allows all horse and rider combinations at all different levels (and disciplines) to find something to work on and improve upon. We are excited to see the growth in a few months from now! 🐴✨💫

Thank you to everyone that joined us for a fun filled weekend!

It would be an understatement to say we are proud and EXCITED! Thank you to “Nori’s” owner for giving us the freedom to develop this horse the best way we know how; by taking our time and installing correct basics and fundamentals before anything else. We feel this approach sets up these young horses for the most success, both mentally and physically, for the rest of their lives…..And man is it FUN 🤩 to watch it all come together!

✨ Featured in The Horse’s Hoof ✨

This young horse’s feet were recently highlighted in The Horse’s Hoof newsletter — and we’re incredibly proud of the work behind them.

Nearly 18 years ago, when barefoot performance horses were still considered unconventional, we were already competing them successfully. Not as a trend. Not as a statement. But because we believed — and continue to see — that strong, healthy, well-developed feet support longevity, confidence, and true athletic potential.

Over the years, we’ve been honored to be mentioned multiple times in this publication for our focus on one thing:
curating functional, performance-oriented feet that hold up — not just today, but long-term.

This isn’t about being anti-shoes or pro-barefoot only.
It’s about being pro-horse.
Pro-education.
Pro-sustainability.

If you’ve ever wondered what barefoot could look like for your horse — or what benefits might be possible with the right training, trimming, and development — this is your invitation to get curious. Healthy feet don’t happen by accident. They’re shaped over time through:
• thoughtful, progressive training
• correct physical development
• patience over shortcuts
• and collaboration between professionals and owners

💚 To the clients who trust us to do things a little differently — thank you.
💚 Thank you for valuing long-term soundness over quick fixes.
💚 Thank you for allowing us to build programs that support the whole horse, from the ground up.

Whether your horse is barefoot, shod, or somewhere in between, the conversation matters.

✔️ Ask questions.
🧠 Learn what’s possible.
🕰️ Invest in the long game.

Because good feet don’t just support the horse —
they help shape the future of their career.

Special thank you to and

Insta expectation vs reality 😂
-
expectation:
teaching a young horse to jump = meet the jump perfectly in stride, insanely amazing jump, we both look extremely competent ✨

reality:
finding the flyer distance, committing anyway, riding it out like it was absolutely the plan, and praising enthusiastically while the entire arena laughs out loud 😅

Baby Cannan has decided his favorite game is liberty parallel parking!! 🏁
No lunge line or lead. No groom holding him from the ground. Just awareness, trust, and a whole lot of try!
💫🐴

Horses like him are why we take our time. He’s big, powerful, and impressionable — so rushing talent like this would be a disservice. So we go slow. We build the foundations quietly, correctly, and without shortcuts.
-
This one is special.
-
Developing young horses like him is a privilege, and it’s exactly why owners trust us with their future stars. If you have a young horse you want started thoughtfully, patiently, and with the long game in mind — we’d love to be part of that journey.

Four years old and already something very special. ✨
This talented young horse has a sharp brain, unreal ability, and a future we’re beyond excited about! We’re proud to begin his show career this year and showcase what careful, thoughtful development can create ♾️

Huge thank you to Nori’s owner for trusting us to bring him along slowly, precisely, and always in his best interest. That trust makes all the difference—and this horse is proof of it.

Have a young horse with huge potential? We’d love to help develop them the RIGHT way. 🐴🔥
