Spring Shows have begun.

Baihley on Toby showing at the second show of the season

The girls having fun... oh and Tyler too

My favorite thing is watching the gaming and taking pictures. Our friend Tyler got airborne here but came down on the saddle and placed first in his division.  

Harvey, Baihley's two year old getting ready for his first show

At the gate,,, not sure about it but he did well for only having 11 rides on him before entering the arena.  

Spring Lessons are coming

It's time to sign up for Spring Lessons.  Give us a call or e-mail to get set up.  We will be doing lessons Monday - Thursday after school and early evenings.  More times will open up once school is out for the summer.
Baihley has been working with her two year old and these are some pictures of his 4th ride. He's going forward backwards, giving to the bit and when she says "whoa" he comes to a dead stop.  It's fun to watch.

 Harvey is getting the hang of turning.

 He's even grown since I last saw him three weeks ago.

 I'm not sure why he was sticking out his tongue but it was a bit cute.

Baihley and Harvey... why does she always have her dirty carthart on when I'm taking pictures!!!

More with Harvey!!!

Getting Harvey all sorts of experiences

Now it's saddle time. He's a quick learning. He will begin using an adult size saddle and is taking the bit like a pro!.  

Training Luxery Machine

Even though it's very cold, Baihley has begun training the new yearling.  He has been here a week and they are working on leading, longing, backing, giving, desensatizing, bagging and manner.  Kind of like a toddler...

Each side of his head looks totally different!

Giving to pressure on the halter.

Learning to trot beside someone is a bit of a challenge but he's doing good. He knows how to Whoa... just figures then he should do something so he goes again.  Slowly but surely he is catching on.  

 Backing up isn't as easy as it looks.  

Luxery Machine comes to the Stable

We lost our beautiful little yearling Hawkeye to Colitis X two days before Thanksgiving.  We were thankful Baihley was able to find another yearling to begin training for this year.  His same is Luxery Machine out of the Incredible Fleet Machine Stud.  He is a paint and very white as you can see. They have already been doing the standard desensitizing  leading, handling feet and learning about the farm.  

Winter riding... well not really just cold riding, well not really!

We give the chance to ride a horse to a ministry in Rochester. Twice a year four kids come out to learn about horses, tack, grooming, cleaning stalls and riding!
