QT is coming along! I was super stoked to get on her, but when I got a foot in the stirrup she absolutely blew up on me. Since then, she’s been pretty reactive with me and has decided disengaging her hindquarters as fast as she can is the answer to most things. We’ve been slowing down and doing more desensitizing and getting her to think things through more 🫶

Foxy had a great day yesterday! I got dumped pretty good last week when she got a little over excited to come back to the other horses, so we’ve been working on leaving the arena and her buddies. We’ve been fine-tuning her responses to leg and seat cues and she’s been doing fantastic!

Meet Bob! One of my clients is looking to Re-🏠 this sweet guy. Free to a good home!
He’s an 18-20 year old, ~16hh, sorrel gelding. He would make a great buddy horse if you have one that doesn’t like being left alone when you take the others out.

Bob has all the following going for him -
✅ gets along with mares and geldings
✅ great to catch
✅ is RESPECTFUL at the end of the lead rope
✅ ties, sends, leads great
✅ loads and rides well in the trailer
✅ great with his front feet and just got them trimmed 8/18/2026
✅tolerates brushing and pets
✅good with dogs
✅had a coggins, strangles, and 5-way all done July 2025

Bob is NOT a riding horse. I had him in for 30 days of ground work last summer and he KNOWS his stuff on the ground, he’s just not safe to be ridden. Being listed just because the owners have two other sweet riding geldings and don’t want Bob spending so much time alone.

Venus is cruising along! She’s doing great with sending and transitions, she’s finding a stop, she’s great with the flag, forehand turns and hindquarter disengagements. Today she got saddled! She’s also majorly gaining on getting caught - she walked right up twice today and got caught with no treats!

The faces of zero regret after totally dumping me in the dirt two days in a row 😂😂

Little Venus is starting to get more comfy with the halter and greet me with her head instead of immediately turning her butt to me, Foxy and I had a great little ride, and QT has been practicing standing tied, getting saddled, and following the lead rope!

Willow went home this weekend! Definitely gonna miss having this girl around. Our original goal was to get her started, but we never got over the big saddling issue. I’ve done lessons and worked with her off and on since fall 2024 so I was SO excited to get her going and I’m really disappointed we just couldn’t get there. She is an angel on the ground now and we worked through a lot of big behavioral problems. She was a TOUGH cookie and definitely made me think outside the box for getting her through a lot of our problems. I’m super thankful to her owners for their trust and patience, and wish them the best with whatever they decide for her 🫶
