This this this!!!

I absolutely love all of your kids & want the very very best for them but sometimes they need some tough love and to struggle a little bit.

Yes sometimes a horse may be doing something and I don’t immediately say anything- they know what to do and I know they do 💗

💛I’m Going to Let Your Child Struggle 💛

When your child comes for lessons with me, I’m going to let them struggle sometimes.

They may have never fastened a buckle on a piece of tack. A saddle might be heavy and awkward. Their lead rope may be a tangled mess. And something that would take me ten seconds might take them five minutes.

I’m not going to immediately step in and do it for them. *Unless its a safety issue.*

Because someday, I want your child to walk into the barn, catch their own horse, tack up, and head out feeling completely confident in their own abilities.

Why?

Because they’re learning that they can do hard things.

So yes, I’ll help when something is beyond a child's physical ability. I’ll encourage, demonstrate, and keep them safe.

But when they *can* do it? I’m going to give them the time to fumble with the buckle. Untangle the rope. Try again. And figure it out.

Parents, I know watching that can be hard. You’ll want to jump in and make it easier.

But sometimes the greatest gift we can give a child is not making the hard thing easier.

It’s standing beside them long enough for them to discover:

“I can do this myself.”

UPDATE:

If you didn’t already know, I’m moving from Fayetteville to Harrison to join the UA NorthArk Softball Team!!

NWA Clients: Don’t worry! I will STILL be teaching lessons, working at TMR, and serving the area just like I have been! My lessons will mainly be on Fridays & Saturdays, with some Sundays as needed since I’ll be able to come home most weekends!

HARRISON: I would absolutely love to build a clientele in the area! I can do occasional date night babysitting, pet/house sitting, riding lessons (on your horses—unless you want to travel to Elkins), horse exercise and tune-ups, and I may even be able to teach softball lessons.

I absolutely love this business and all the animals and people I get to work with. As I move into this new chapter of my life, I’m still making it a priority, and I can’t wait to keep working with both my current and future clients! 🤍

Please feel free to message me at 479-430-0725 or on this page with any questions or to get something booked!

⚠️ Important Information ⚠️
• Closed-toe shoes REQUIRED
• Pants highly recommended
• Sunscreen & bug spray encouraged

If you’re feeling scared or unsure about getting on a horse, we highly recommend booking a lesson first to help you feel safe and in control.

These are living animals with their own personalities. While they are safe, it’s important that riders listen carefully and feel confident. Horses can sense nerves, and our top priority is keeping you safe and making sure you enjoy your ride 🤍

⸻

📩 Message us on Facebook or text to book!
📞: 479-430-0725

Spots are filled first come, first served, and the first booking helps determine the ride length for that time slot.
