Some milestones are years in the making, and today was one of them.
Leslie first came to a clinic almost ten years ago, and since then she’s shown up to around fifteen more — each time adding new skills, new understanding, and new confidence to her horsemanship. Every clinic, she makes big strides with her horses. Every single one.
But today… today was monumental.
Tex finally hit the trails.
If you know Tex, you know he’s a fun‑loving, playful guy — you should see him with the ball — but he and Leslie have had a couple of bumps along the way. The beautiful part is that those bumps are behind them now. The last few times I’ve worked with these two, they’ve been nothing short of amazing. Tex is confident, willing, and clearly ready to get out and enjoy life.
Yesterday we spent time on groundwork obstacles and a bit of arena riding. Today they rode everything on the obstacle course… and then led the trail ride like absolute rock stars.
🐴😄Leslie, I’m so proud of the work you’ve put in over the years. You’ve earned every bit of this moment, and Tex showed today just how much he trusts you. 😄🐴
So happy for you both — can’t wait to see where you go from here.
