Allegedly Sport Horses -ASH Stables

WE'RE BAAAACK!! Not that we left, mind you. So much has happened over the past year that we felt it was time for an update.

We were treated to a bit of a facelift with a revamped logo, the addition of a second "English" barn off the arena, upgrades to the arena, round pen and jump storage area, and the addition of a second trailer and equipment parking area. We absolutely LOVE the new space and so do the ponies that moved in!

Our "little" Dunkin Donut is proving to be quite the all-around draft cross. Many of you have seen him at various events pulling wagons of all sizes with his teammate Big Mike. However he is proving himself quite versatile as he begins his new adventures under saddle.

FatKid idsn't the only Escobanian Sport Horse in the barn anymore. Erin Johnson Howard has added Roo to the string. A lovely 3 year old Gypsy/Quarter Horse Cross mare who is developing into an exceptional mover.

Janis Naiman has stepped up to the next level in her riding. We were able to find Frankie the perfect family at Collinear Equestrian Center and purchased a 3 year old Morgan/Quarter Horse Cross gelding from Greentree Ranch Morgans. Lincoln and Janis are becoming quite the pair and we know there will be big things in their future!

Not to be left out of the Baby Adventure, Kati Hawkins has a new baby as well. Little Poppy is a 2 year old Morgan Horse from Greentree Ranch Morgans. She is proving to be quite athletic, willing, and the right amount of sass. These two will are going to make a fantastic team.

Our infamous FatKid is having an active retirement. He is now in charge of helping to set an example for the new youngsters; proving to be an invaluable source of calm, cool, and confidence. He is teaching the up-and-coming riders confidence while they improve on their horsemanship, along with making the occasional public appearance with our draft team.

We had some project horses successfully transition into now jobs over the past year as well. We couldn't be happier for Nacho, with perhaps the biggest glow-up in the barn, who is living his best roping life in Arizona.

The Team Roping side of the facility have been making changes as well. They have several new prospects moving through their program and we are looking forward to see what the future holds for these potential superstars. Camino, Leroy, Cleo, Tater Tot, and Doc are certainly going places!

The past 18 months has brought us lots of changes, and has kept us out of the limelight as it were, but it has been so worth it. Big thanks to Lance Howard for keeping our facility running at tip-top shape, always making sure we have great footing, and entertaining us with your Team Roping exhibitions. Thank you Landon Ellis for keeping our ponies sound with all our farrier needs, Larry Naiman for the making our carpentry and jump course dreams come true, and our Horse Training Savant for joining our crew.

STOP CHASING A HEAD SET... TRAIN THE WHOLE HORSE

I truly believe two words have ruined more horses than almost anything else in our industry... "Head Set."

Somewhere along the way, people have become obsessed with where a horse's head is instead of understanding why it's there.

So what happens?

We reach for draw reins, tie-downs, martingales, leverage bits, nosebands, gadgets, drugs, and stronger equipment... all to force a horse into a picture that we humans thinks look correct.

But here's the question...

What if the horse's head is only a symptom of what's happening through the rest of its body?

A horse can't truly carry itself correctly if it isn't engaging its hindquarters, lifting its back, moving with rhythm, balance, and relaxation.

You can pull a horse's head into position all day long, but that doesn't mean you've created collection.

In fact, many horses learn to tuck their nose while becoming tighter through their back, stiffer in their body, and and that makes it harder to communicate with them.

I'd rather spend my time teaching a horse to move correctly than teaching it to simply look correct.

When the feet, shoulders, rib cage, back, and hindquarters start working together... the head and neck usually take care of themselves.

I'm not saying every training aid is bad. In the right hands, for the right horse, at the right time, some have their place. But often times the people who know how to use tools like draw reins never need them because they know how to achieve the same results without them.

No piece of equipment will ever replace good timing, feel, balance, and horsemanship.

Quit chasing the head... and start training the whole body !!
