Canter

July 11th, 2010

This is a video clip of me at my weekly riding lesson.
I am slowly learning to canter. Riding is a workout, it can be frustrating at times and it is always a challenge, but I am loving every minute of it.

Nashville gave me the passion to learn to ride. I’ve always loved horses.

My new horse!

June 12th, 2010

PLEASE READ**

yup! star man! so, duh. of course im not getting rid of zeppo. he’s my love!

Okay, so star man is a retired polo pony, but hes built like a quarter horse and has the mind of one too. he competed in polo matches at very high levels down in florida for about 15 years of his life, then just last year he was put out to pasture here in missouri, on 400 acres with a herd of other horses.
He was given to us about 2 weeks ago, and he’s now 22 yrs. old.
Zeppo needed a companion and my mom needed a horse to learn to ride on! and for a horse that hasn’t even been around people in a year and a half, hes an absoloute dream!
He’s bay, and 15.1 hh =)

OH! and we need a barn name for him! something short and sweet that relates to his real name in some way.. but nothing like “stary” or whatever.. =) haha
THANKYOU GUYS!

in honor of jocko.

Natural Horsemanship

May 6th, 2010

I confess that I’m a tad nervous around any animal big enough to crush me just by not paying attention. Nonetheless, I found it pretty cool that my friends, Kevin and Ginny have learned how to respectfully enjoy their horses on their horses’ own terms. I don’t know if it is exactly horse whispering, but watching the way they treat their horse, Tenor, is impressive. It’s almost as if they don’t train the horse, but they merely learn each others’ languages.

Let me also thank them for their great hospitality in Florida, the way they treated my son, Sam and ask God’s blessings on their family.

Dandy – Halo // 50+ SUBSCRIBERS!!

May 6th, 2010

EDIT:
I chose this song because it describes how I feel towards him. when he came into my life, I was going through some really tough times. I wasn’t ready for a new challenge, especially not a stubborn yearling. but now I realize that he’s more that JUST a stubborn yearling, because he’s 2 and a half right now and he’s JUST that good! I promised I’d never fall in love with another horse.. but I broke that promise. and I’m definatly glad I did! he’s an angel in disguise, I swear. Dandy, I can see your halo.

thanks so much for 50+ subbers! it means so much. this is probably the best video I’ve ever made. and I love it.. a lot xD
keep the subscriptions comin’ because I can’t want for 100 subbers!! ♥

Dandy. what can I say? without this horse, I might have quit riding. I started getting bored with Heidi (and Nicole is free-leasing her), and Molly is too out of control to actually ride..
this horse helped me so much. he’s only 2 and a half years old, but he acts like he’s so much older. he has taught me that with time, anything is possible. that I can learn to ride any horse- even a challenge as big as him. he’s taught me to never get up, because amazing things take time to happen. I love this horse more than anything. he’s not just my pony, he’s my best friend. I can’t put it into words how much he means to me. I’d do anything for him. I have a feeling that I’ll go far with this horse. so we’ll keep working, until we’re both ready to take on new challenges. we’ll take evey day- and challenge- as it comes.

Trail Ride 3/21/09

April 15th, 2010

**WATCH IN HD**
My friends and I went to my riding instructors house for the day to go trail riding. We had a lot of fun! I didn’t bring my camera on the trail ride, because I didn’t want to keep up with it. Dubie was SUCH a good boy! This was his first time to ever be on a trail ride with me. Diego on the other hand, wasn’t the best. He was probably the worst out of all four of the horses! When we would gallop, I’d go like five strides, and then Diego would have to stop and crow hop. When Diego gets excited, he’s a wanna be Arabian stallion, as you can see when he meets Sky and Casper for the first time. I am in the blue shirt, Mackenzie is in the dark blue hoodie, and Courtney is in the yellow rain coat. This was also Dubie’s first time to ever meet Candie, and second time to meet Diego. Please rate, comment, and enjoy! :)

Part 2 – Using Snaking/Weaving to Slow a Horse Down

April 8th, 2010

Footage from a lesson with PonyPros.

11 year old Katie expands Molly’s comfort zone to include the rest of the arena, further from the barn. Molly goes from making 10 meter turns to 20 meter turns without speeding up. Katie adds in distracting obstacles like jump standards and poles. Molly rises to the occasion and keeps the sensibility and rhythm she gained in the previous 5 minutes. Molly and Katie will go on to work at the trot over poles in video part 3.
