RHK Performance Horses

First ride in the books for this really neat ranch raised c**t today. We sure love a smooth forward and ✨uneventful✨ first ride! Thank you Jackie Baxton for choosing me to start this guy!

Thank you June Perry for the photos of Whiz while I rode him around at CCCC’s over the weekend! Whiz and I worked the back cattle pens for the show, getting him some outside experience with cows in a high commotion setting. This phenomenal little mule is owned by James Burroughs

Having the right horses that keep you excited to jump on each and every day… now that is fun.

You can never stop learning. I had a great time taking some lessons on these 2! This was Capone’s (the grey) very first time jumping. He couldn’t have been any more of a gentleman. Duval got to jump some bigger sticks today!

If I could impart one piece of knowledge on my fellow horse lovers and those aspiring to train or participate in the horse industry in any professional capacity, it would be that every horse and owner that crosses your path is an opportunity. Each and every horse, whether easy or difficult, good- or ill-minded, is an opportunity for you to learn, grow your skills, meet people, make lasting connections, and further your knowledge and ability. You learn what works, what doesn’t, what you like, and what you don’t, and you meet people along the way who will help you and teach you something about yourself. Not every horse is easy, and not every person is kind, but you will learn something. Whether that’s a skill to get through to a tough horse, how to set boundaries and learn your worth, or even something as simple as learning which bloodlines or breeds you like and which personalities you either clash with or mesh and soar with. Treat every experience as an opportunity and use it to better yourself. Be grateful.

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

It was a great day for RHKPH at the CSHA Summer sizzle Show!

💥 Breahna and Gracie took home a 1st place for their ranch riding pattern and 2 seconds in some large rail classes against some other very good kids!

💥 Maysie and Lady won their ranch reining class and placed well in every other class they competed in!

💥 Bentley and I won our ranch reining class and took second place for our (quite large) ranch rail class.

💥 Whiz rode around like a little star for his first real outing and really showed well against a big group of seasoned horses!

💥 Last but certainly not least, Lindy and Tuesday had an excellent time riding around using this as a confidence building trip and are looking forward to the next one!

☀️☀️SUNS TUPELO HONEY☀️☀️
aka Tuesday

Tuesday is a strikingly beautiful 6 year old registered half Arabian mare looking for the right fit. She is forward thinking and likes to work. Tuesday is sensitive and aware of her surroundings. With 3 floaty ground covering gates and a big personality, she’s likely the right fit for you if you’re a quiet rider who can take a joke and wants to cover some ground. Tuesday is still on the greener side and is suitable for an intermediate/advanced rider. I feel she would be best suited as your next endurance mount or maybe even western dressage. Tuesday has a very good handle on her, she counterbends, sidepasses, leg yields, opens/closes gates, and will walk over simple bridges. Though she is not for a beginner I’m able to coach a young student through successful rides with her, meaning she will listen but is not suitable for someone who doesn’t understand how to problem solve and lead the way on their own. The mountain trail portion of her video was her first experience on some difficult trails and she really rose to the occasion navigating rocks and downed logs with quiet encouragement. Tuesday stands at just over 14.3 and is located in Livingston.
