“A racehorse that consistently runs just a second faster than another horse is worth millions of dollars more. Be willing to give that extra effort that separates the winner from the one in second place.” H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
"We're Going to the Farm...
We'll see the chickens and the ducks,
We'll hear the "quacks" and all the "clucks"!
We'll ride a big tractor, and feed a tall horse,
But the best will be the goats, of course!!!" Hilary Martin

Update on Ms. B: 30 rides!!!
I am somewhere close to 30 rides on Ms B now, our 3 yr old POA mare. Since our last video, we've established a consistent jog and can now transition btwn the jog and trot fluidly...we've also introduced the canter as of a few weeks ao and are working towards a consistent lope! Her headset has also steadied and requires minimal correction when working alone....when working with other horses inthe pen, the distractions are cause for a bit more proactive riding....that will pass in time as she gets more mileage and more exposure to working in traffic...she's been introduced to bth english and western tack and rides just as well in both....what we will be working a lot on for the near term are transitions and leads.....
we are very excited about this little lady's future...I've submitted her entries for Pleasure Driving, Western Pleasure, Hunter Under Saddle, and Trail in our POA Regional Show August 10-12...stay tuned for more updates!
