One day c**t starting clinic with Sam Wagler of Diamond S Performance Horses. We improved lunging, bridled for the FIRST time, got hips, softness and backing off the bit, saddled for the second time ever, did a little extra de-spooking practice, and then up I went! Just enough to sit for a second. That was plenty for one day!

Drop a comment if you've ever taught the lay down WITHOUT holding, tying, or lifting their foot. 👇👇

You've got 30 days under saddle...what do you do??

Start a brand new, fast paced, high pressure competition sport together. 👏

This is the closest thing to an "action" shot that we got, but Buckles went to his first sorting today! He took it all in stride, stayed honest and willing, and improved despite my lack of experience sorting. I couldn't have asked for more!

Clinics and c**t starting... why not multi-task. 😁

Biscuit was a rock star hauling, doing ground work, and tying patiently in a new place. And all of my students have been working hard, pushing boundaries, and accomplishing goals. So proud of them!

It's such a privilege to be a part of someone's horsemanship journey, and to get to help them realize their dreams.

Growing up handsome! 😍 RHC Skip The Diamond, aka Biscuit, a coming two year old. Calm, curious, goofy, smart, laid back, personable. He makes every session feel like a privilege!

The real reason they gotta ride one-handed.....

This guy saddled up just like you want em to.... Engaged. Curious. Not the least bit afraid. Moved right off and got to work. After the first few seconds of learning how to move his feet with it on, he acted like he's been carrying a saddle for years.



Thank you, Keya Sleister at Red Horse Company, for breeding good minded pretty horses. 😊
