Hope's Legacy Equestrian Hi, My name is Mikayla DeFlorian, John and Josh Lyons certified horse trainer, and Equissage certifi If we give patience the horse will give patience.

My love for horses started at the young age of two when my dad put me on a horse for the first time and I didn't like it one bit. With much perserverence on dads part I grew to love horses and the grace and forgiveness they bring. After being a horse trainer for the past 5 years I believe horses match the energy we give. If we give stress the horse will give stress. With this understanding I choose to further my knowledge and become a certified ESMT through Equissage.

Sometimes all that’s needed is to kidnap Pookie, ( Sophia Erickson ) some horses and kinda sorta somewhat trespass on the neighbors field to let them run and that’s what we call therapy.

I love these girls! Both are doing good. We’re back to fighting the battle to keep squish comfy on her paws which unfortunately is always going to be a battle but hey there’s still hope or at least that’s what I will continue to tell myself. Princess is just living her best life. Not many lessons happened this season and honestly I’m okay with that. I love teaching but sometimes one needs a chill season every now and then.

Rocket donkey appreciation post? Cin has lovingly received the name as rocket donkey. Granted she has had this name for a few years just was never used. Thinking now though it might be used more as well as we can see here since has pretty large ears. Cin the rocket donkey has really stepped up this year as a lesson horse and actually become the horse that kids are finding confidence on in the cantering department. If you know anything about Cins past you know that concept is just 🤯.

How do I even begin to express what this horse means to me? She’s the horse that reignited my hope after my dad passed away. She’s the horse that has helped me rebuild myself countless times. She holds secrets, emotions, and burdens within her. She’s the horse that guided me back to finding love for horses once more. She taught me the importance of simply allowing horses to be horses. She instilled in me patience, perseverance, forgiveness, love, kindness, and most importantly, TRUST. She taught me that while life may be hard, your past may be difficult, but you can still let your light shine. She showed me that it’s okay to let people see you for who you truly are. She gave me hope again and proved that it’s all worth it, even when life becomes challenging and the story is difficult to share. She’s my hope.

Well apparently this is the new method? Ponies didn’t want to come up for dinner so I took it to them not ideal but why not switch it up a bit. Hope was very confused I will say that.

The Dino Princess rises to the occasion again! I will say one of my all time favorite things is getting kids hooked on horses and I believe the hook was set deep today. Mwahahahaha.
