Big news: Firefly has a new family! ❤️

I’m so happy for her. Right now we’re finishing up our time together, getting her ready to be the best family and trail horse she can be.

Look at her today, those Cheff banners are moving and she doesn’t have a care in the world. That’s the kind of steady, confident horse her new family is getting.

🐴 Proud trainer moment! 🐴

I’m so proud of Nigel and all the progress he’s made this past week! We’ve now had 7 rides together, and it’s been amazing to watch him start putting everything he’s learned together. 💛

Our last two rides have been especially fun, and I can’t wait to see what he does next. **tstarting **tstarter

Nigel’s second ride! 🐴

What I love most: how relaxed he was. He was processing a lot toward the end of rides 1 and 2, and look at how soft his eyes are as I unbridle him.

How do I know when a horse is ready for their first ride? It’s not just passing my pre-ride checks. The horse tells me somehow. It’s like they say, “I’m ready for the next step.”

Disclaimer: I don’t normally put the first few rides on a horse when I don’t have the arena to myself, but I made an exception this day. Nigel was distracted and bothered by another horse in there during our warm-up, but he came around, and I love how much he learned to relax.

This was Nigel’s first time being mounted.
Asking a horse to accept a rider for the first time is a big deal. I don’t take anything about c**t starting lightly, and I certainly don’t take this step lightly.

Every step before this was about building trust: being consistent, being fair, and letting him learn that I’d never ask for more than he was ready for. And he showed up for it. I’m so grateful.

The first ride is next. Stay tuned. 🐎

No, we haven’t been hiding from the camera! Holly has had a few challenges adjusting to being barefoot, so I’ve been strategic about what we work on, building her strength instead of wearing her down. Slow work is what’s best for her right now, and her progress is anything but disappointing 👏

She learned to side pass over a ground pole faster than any horse I’ve ever trained, and this is after only about a week of work on it! 🤯

I really like the horses sired by Top Draw. They have great minds and are so eager to please. Keep sending them my way! ❤️

Some rides just fill your heart. ❤️

This past weekend I got to ride with Melissa and her red mare Stella at Salamonie for the second year in a row, and I’m still smiling about it.

When we pulled in Friday evening, Melissa told me that loading Stella was the least stressful part of her whole day. Friends, I could have cried. That one sentence reminded me exactly why I do what I do.

I first met these two about two years ago, when Melissa reached out for help with trailer loading. Through several travel lessons, they made incredible progress. Then Melissa did something really special: she restarted Stella herself, with my guidance, and built a much more solid foundation under her. That took patience, heart, and a whole lot of trust.

Now look at them. They’re out on the trails, growing into a wonderful team. What impresses me most is how Stella tackles every obstacle in her path with zero hesitation. It’s just, “Yes ma’am, I got this!” 🐴

That kind of confidence doesn’t come from nowhere. It comes from a horse who trusts her person completely. Stella’s faith in Melissa’s leadership is a beautiful thing to witness, and I feel so lucky to have a front-row seat.

Melissa, I’m so proud of you both. Here’s to many more miles together. ❤️
