Horses know when we need them most

I’ve recently found out I need another disc replaced in my neck. Can no longer work and barely can move. I walked down to the pasture, sat on a stump and my filly came up immediately to comfort me.

Here is my 2.5 year old filly as of currently. I started her last spring and she’s ridden once a month for 15-20 minutes. She’s only walk trot at this time I don’t introduce the canter until they are very confident at lower gaits. Low, slow, no hands, this girl already knows her job becauseContinue reading “When you do your groundwork the under saddle results are AMAZING!”
