2B Horses

Tres’s 5 weeks have come to an end. He’s a very big youngster and most of our time was spent learning how to use his body.
He did phenomenal at this first show outing over the weekend. I showed him the patterns the few days prior, but it wasn’t about the patterns as much as it was the exposure. He was quiet and handled everything so well.

Opal, 3 year old
2 months spent with her starting with her manners then moved along to under saddle. The Pivo cut me off at the end..but she will side pass both directions easily, move her shoulders and hip yield

Captain

Tres!
Happy to have him back
He’s a coming 4 year old, green broke. We’re just looking to continue his learning

This is Ruby, her fourth ride in here. She gets anxious about loping and troubles with speed control at the jog after loping. We jumped right into it and making progress at that, we’ll rewind and work on other details as well

Again I wish I had taken a before video! I sometimes surprise myself what can be accomplished/started with only a months worth riding. This is Chance. He was super green.
He was heavy on the direct rein, heavy stop, didn’t know neck rein, unbalanced lope and scared of the trail obstacles!

Sky now. She is headed home early but very happy with how she’s come this month

Kallie is headed to a clinic with Mona Lewis this weekend. Can’t wait for the next step 🤗

These kids got me dreaming about the things Critter won’t be doing this year 😂 Different goals set for the year. Thinking I might steal a roan pony out of Laura’s field
Critter had two races before this one
Fastest barrel and pole runs of all the horses on this weekend had Ronnie not jinxed me to hit a pole 🤔
Barrels 0.3 sec off arena holder Sarah 😮

Seeing as I’m bragging her up lol might I add that on this one weekend of this clubs full season I race her in, her average in the 3 days earned her Reserve 1D Barrel Champion for the year

I was in yet another clinic this weekend. This one geared towards reined cowhorse. Everything comes down to the same foundations. I got new information and clarity that will cross over to all horses I work with, which is my ultimate goal in taking all these clinics to improve what I do beyond my own horses.

I have been taking Critter to all clinics so far this year. She’s made many improvements but with a long ways to go yet. At some point I’ll post a little before clip I took late last fall compared to recent flat work and manoeuvres
