A horse is always learning, whether or not your intention was to teach him

To have control of a horse, it is best to ride him from back to front 😉 though it may sound odd if you have never heard it before, it is the basis of the control of his feet, which control his body.

A horse will most likely act the way you expect him to act 😉

Though pressure is required for a horse to learn, it is not the pressure that the horse learns from, but the release

Loving this filly, same one that had to be roped to catch and couldn't touch her face just completed ride #2 in a snaffle bit!! A little trust goes a long ways!!

Big changes start with small steps 🌵🌻 not quite ready for a saddle yet!

Hi! Nice to meet you. Currently my name is Lil Roany, but I keep hearing my mom say that I "need a real name", whatever that means.🤔 I'm am 1 year old, and everybody acts like I'm sooo small, pshh, they dont know what they are talking about!🙄 I can do anything the big horses can do, don't know why anyone would doubt me!😎 I also hear them say that they have high hopes for me, well let me tell ya, I'm your guy! I'm pretty cool, don't underestimate me! 😁 But for real, everybody else has a cool name, I need one too!🤠

All checking out their new feeders!
