Calling all horse friends and farriers! 🐴🎄✨
The students at Roping Hearts Horsemanship are getting into the holiday spirit, and we need your help to pull off a special holiday surprise! We are hunting for 70 used (or new!) horseshoes by December 7th so our riders can craft a special take-home Christmas gift for their families.

If you have an old stash sitting in your barn, a pile from your last trimming cycle, or a bucket of scrap shoes taking up space in your truck, we will gladly take them off your hands and put them to amazing use! Any size or shape works perfectly.

Drop a comment below or send us a DM if you have any shoes you'd be willing to donate, and we can easily arrange a time to come pick them up!

Thank you all so much for helping us bring some extra holiday magic to our students this year! ❤️🎅🌟

🤠 Wednesday Horsemanship Highlights at Eagle Nest Elementary! 🐴✨

We had an incredible day of learning and growth with our students during today's horsemanship class! The kids did an amazing job steering and riding their horses right through the pattern!

In the arena, we tackled a challenging 6-pole zig-zag pattern (the Double-W), which proved to be a fantastic exercise with big benefits for both horse and rider:
• For our young riders: Guiding a horse through these sharp, alternating angles is the ultimate test of accurate steering, steady pacing, and clear communication. It keeps their minds sharp and builds incredible confidence in the saddle!
• For the horses: Navigating a continuous zig-zag layout is an excellent workout that builds core strength, encourages flexibility, and requires absolute focus on balance and precise foot placement.

The educational fun didn't stop in the arena! When they weren't in the saddle, our students dove into the world of tack, learning all about how equipment works by identifying the different parts of the saddle and bridle. Older kids raced to name the saddle and bridle parts. And to bring the lesson to life, our kindergarteners got creative crafting their very own paper doll horses, complete with matching western tack cutouts! 🎨✂️

It is so rewarding to see these kids build confidence, real life skills, and a deep love for riding with every single stride. Way to go, team! 🐴❤️

🎃 Trick, Trot, or Treat: Take 2! 🐴 ✨

Our Friday classes had an absolute blast playing a special game of Trick, Trot, or Treat! The arena was packed with incredible costumes, wonderful horses, spooky fun, and (of course) plenty of candy! 🍫👻

🎃 Trick, Trot, or Treat! 🐴👻

We had the absolute best time celebrating Halloween with the amazing students of Eagle Nest NM Elementary/Middle School! The arena was full of smiles and some seriously impressive horsemanship. Our riders rotated through three spooky-fun stations:

🔮 The TRICK Horse: Riders drew a surprise challenge from our "Bag of Tricks" to test their balance and body awareness! From "Around the World" and riding backwards to touching their toes and closing their eyes (which is amazing for building deep core stability and a natural feel for the horse's movement), these kids crushed it! (And no worries—only my and Rebecca’s kids were standing on the horses! They practice this a ton and have done it quite a bit!) 😉

💨 The TROT Horse: So many of our students hit a huge milestone and got their very first taste of trotting! Plus, a special shoutout to Halfie, our wonderful gaited Icelandic horse, who showed our riders how to "tolt" in style!

🍬 The TREAT Horse: Trick-or-treating is always better on horseback! Kids rode up to collect some delicious goodies. A massive thank you to our incredible PTA for donating all the candy!

🌟 A Huge Thank You! 🌟
This magical day wouldn't have been possible without Sunshine Bertolani-Deisig and Rebecca Hoffman. Thank you both for always showing up without fail and giving these kids such an awesome, unforgettable equine experience! We love our Roping Hearts community! 💙

Today’s lesson: Equine Dentistry. 🐴🦷

The kids watched a video, studied the material, and even got to examine real horse teeth (thanks, Katie McDaniel!).

Then came the best part: Play-Doh surgery. They sculpted horse teeth with sharp points and hooks, built their own "floating" tools, and filed them down until they were nice and smooth. They also practiced a few extractions—which mostly just looked like a colorful, chaotic Play-Doh crime scene.

🎃 Thank you all for a scary good time at the Moreno Valley Angels Halloween pumpkin patch!
