Horseback Riding with Sarah

Some great rides from everyone this week! Working hard and not giving up makes us stronger, better riders! Really getting a handle on those diagonals, independent canters, newer students walking independently, you're all doing great!

Some great rides this week! Maggie got back on Finesse for the first time in a long time and did a great job walking and trotting independently. My Friday girls got to ride ba****ck because of the heat and we got successful trots without sliding off the side of our ponies!

Beautiful weather this week! Had a lot of students on vacation this week so the ones that were here had to work hard! Some great trots on Finesse and Izabella's first independent canter on AKA! Great job everyone!

So smokey and horrible air quality today so we reviewed some walking games we haven't done in a while. We've got hula hoops where the horse has to stop with either their front or back feet in the hoop.and we've got the squeeze game where the blocks get closer together each time riders go around and see who can squeeze thru the smallest space. Not pictured was the turtle race where you walk as slow as you can to the finish without stopping and Red Light Green Light- just like at recess.

Some fun recent rides! Maggie and Sadie cantering independently, a fun ride in the rain on Monday and learning to work with horses thar aren't our favorites and still get nice rides from them!

A fun week of riding new horses, riding ba****ck, getting consistent good trots, and finally having diagonals make sense! Great job everyone!
I know i said morning lessons start the week of the 22nd but if any students want to ride next week in the morning just let me know and we can probably do it!

A fun week of getting students on new horses. Didn't get any good videos of Lacey but Sassy was an absolute champ for these girls.They all started out super nervous but all were in love with her by the end of the lesson.
