Such a great lesson with this girl and her horse, Oakley!

She has her sights set on showing barrels, and honestly, this pair is coming along so well. Watching them figure things out together and seeing her confidence grow is so much fun.

I can’t wait to see these two out on the show grounds doing their thing!

This is exactly what I love about teaching — helping people work toward their own goals with their own horses, whatever those goals may be.

I’m pretty excited to see where this pair goes

Riding Lessons — You & Your Horse

I’m opening up a few spots for riding lessons for people with their own horses — either here at Giddy Up Ranch or at your place!

I’m a Certified Level 1 Western Coach, and I specialize in helping riders:

• Build confidence in the saddle
• Develop a better, more balanced seat
• Learn the fundamentals of good riding
• Improve communication with their horse
• Build a stronger relationship and partnership

Your horse doesn’t have to be perfect — they just need to be safe enough to learn with. 😊

I’m not a horse trainer, so my focus is on helping you become a better rider and helping you and your horse work better together.

Lessons are $40/hour.

I have both an indoor and outdoor arena here at the farm.

I prefer weekday lessons, but there may be some flexibility depending on scheduling.

If you’ve been wanting to get back in the saddle, feel more confident, improve your riding, or just have someone to help you and your horse put the pieces together, send me a message.

Our second clinic of the year with Ella Campbell was a success and a lot of fun!
hosted by Heidi Walen
I actually got to ride in this one for a change. I'm glad I didn't ride for two full days. I don't think I'd be able to walk today! 😂

It definitely reminded me how rusty I am after spending the last two or three years mostly just sitting on my horse instead of actually riding.

If you've been thinking about hosting a clinic but don't have access to a facility, I'd love to help. Giddy Up Ranch has an indoor arena available to rent, along with stalls and a heated tack room. Whether you're a clinician or just wanting to host with your favorite clinician... looking for a venue or organizing a group, send me a message and let's make it happen!

I am 8 months old, and obviously, I am a very good boy.
Mom says I’m an old soul, but honestly, that might just be because I behave significantly better than the pony… which, frankly, is not a high bar.
My education is progressing nicely. Mom keeps making my lessons harder and harder, but I rise to the challenge like the good boy I am. I can now lower my head on demand, stand tied like a perfect gentleman, pick up all four feet like a champ, back up with style, execute a turn on the haunches, and I’m improving my turn on the forehand.
Basically, I’m crushing it.
I am also beginning to tolerate George. He is allowed to pet me and put my halter on, but let the record show: I remain vigilant. He is still highly suspicious. I don’t trust him entirely, so I make sure to keep one eye on him at all times.
You can never be too careful.
I love the cows and the pigs and don't quite understand why we cant be in the same place together but i suspect it has to do with the tiny dictator. I've hear mom say he's really mean to them so i play tag with them over the fence and run back and forth with them

I am 10 months old and, despite being the youngest, I am clearly the biggest cow here.
My mom, Delilah, was a single mother, and I am her very first baby, which means I have been spoiled appropriately. As is my right.
Some may call me “a bit of a bully,” but I prefer the term strong future leader. I am, after all, a princess and future queen. Naturally, I must assert my authority by occasionally beating up the other cows.
My mother included.
Even though she does provide excellent milkshakes.
Recently, the main servant had the audacity to place me and the others on a diet. She called us “obese.” I’m not entirely sure what that means, but I have reviewed my reflection and can confirm I look absolutely fabulous.
I am deeply offended by this injustice.
To express my displeasure, I deliver a very angry moo directly into her face. A formal protest seemed appropriate, but I have not yet escalated matters. Mostly because I have no idea where the food is being hidden. The servant has full control of the food.
The big spotted one knows. The servant seem to favor him over all of us, not sure why ?
He even has the lock combination, but unfortunately, he appears to respect the servant enough to use this power only a few times a year. Highly disappointing behavior.
When I am queen, I may fire her.
Although…
I will miss the ear scratches.
