🥇🥇What a fun show weekend!🥇🥇

Chloe took all around for the Novice division and Cassidy took all around for walk/trot division!

This was Cassidy and Belle’s first time showing in Groesbeck and had some growing pains getting Belle settled in the Saturday morning clinic, but came back that night and Sunday morning to have a good show!

Chloe and her mom Krystal both did well with Krystal taking first in the Novice cow with Boozy.

Leoti came for exposure and showed big improvement from when she first came in and would get worked up just being in the round pen lunging. She handled herself well riding around the show grounds and getting used to seeing new places.

NightRider competed in his second show and loped for the first time in competition. Very happy that he kept his cool under pressure. He got fast once or twice but is starting to grasp the show environment.

Very happy with how these ladies performed!

Leoti and NightRider settled in for the weekend!

Happy Gotcha Day Amado!

Have learned so much from this guy. First personal horse, first money earner, tons of life and horsemanship lessons.

So glad that I picked him up 5 years ago today. He’s 6 now, we’ve had a lot of adventures together and come so far, and have still have so far to go.

These summers are tough with the schedule change to avoid the heat but going out to start with the horses early and the herd comes up to say hi is a sure good way to start the day

What is Collection?

“When they lift their back, tuck their head…”

Ok… but what IS it ??

“It’s when they lift their…”

No. This doesn’t answer the question. This only tells you the COMPONENTS of collection, but not what it IS.

The answer: Collection is when they use their body properly.

You wouldn’t describe a basketball by describing what animal and from what farm was used to make the leather on the outside, where you sourced the rubber, nor what pump you used to air it up. You also wouldn’t describe a basketball by describing all of the other possible types of basketballs and how any other basketball is the wrong basketball (except your basketball). If someone was interested in making a basketball, maybe you would answer these questions but first they must know what the basketball is before we get to making one.

We so often harshly critique (myself included) when talking about other sports in the horse industry and how they view collection. “Reining is wrong, peanut rollers!” “Pleasure looks lifeless!” “rodeo has their head up in the air” “dressage, roll kur” “they’re all wrong except my version!”

There’s some truth to all of these critiques. But, let’s keep in mind all of the breeds and sports have changed since the studies back in the 70s or whenever the last one was done. It’s also worth noting that I don’t think there’s ever been any studies that were large enough to compare correct collection between disciplines and breeds.

No one does this with human sports, getting all worked up because another sport does collection (form) different. It’s weird guys. I don’t expect a shotputter to run like a 100m runner nor the 100m runner to run like a tennis player. Why do we expect that of horses?

Reiners SHOULD move a little flatter (no I’m not saying dropped in back) to pick up speed - raising up too high wastes energy that could be spent going forward. Dressage horses SHOULD be a little higher to coil up more power. Cutters SHOULD be absolutely unique in how they move because they have such a unique job in showing.

Let’s stop being weird guys. Collection is just them moving correctly, and that can have a lot of variation to complete the task at hand. We all have something to offer each other.

We get it.

You’re pressed for time, it’s hard to coordinate with you trainer (or anyone, life is busy).

You just want to ride your horse and get some help.

We have the solution: With Self Scheduling you can look at the schedule, book, and just show up.*

Come join our Lesson program! Not only do we offer the convenience of self scheduling, but we have an 8 level curriculum that we made ourselves to help you reach you riding and showing goals.

More information is available through text (254-230-8234) or on our website:

*New customers: please reach out for your initial lesson if you are using one of our horses so we can get you the right fit.

Use the code “INTRO” for 50% off your first lesson.
