Meet Sunflower! 🌻 This lovely little QH mare is one of our training horses who is here to get restarted under saddle and prepared for her young rider. Sunflower worked on basic groundwork, got all tacked up, and also did some mounting drills today as prep work.
We’ll be sharing more of her journey as well as introduce some of the other training horses and what they are working on here at WHR🤠

Train Tip Tuesday ~ How to tie up your mecate reins 🤠 We use a lot of mecate reins, especially with our green or training horses, here at WHR. They are a great tool for all horses, allowing you to communicate more feel with the weight of the slobber straps. Mecates are also easily adjustable depending on how long or short you want your reins and leads.
Here’s how to tie up the tail end or lead portion so it stays out of the way when you are riding!

Training Tip Tuesday ~ How to store your western saddle 🤠
Taking a few seconds after your ride to properly tie up your latigo and cinch will help save time and set you up for success on your next ride. Instead of leaving the latigo completely unraveled, wrap it up to keep everything neat and tidy…. and this technique is super quick and easy to undo when you are ready for your next ride!

Training Tip Tuesday - Add variety to your sessions🤠⛰️
It can be easy to get stuck in a rut and just do the same arena work each time you ride your horse. Switching up some riding/ training sessions and making them more strength-based can help add variety and make a big difference in your horse’s athletic ability and potential. Bravado, who shows level 5 in working equitation and western dressage, does weekly hill work sessions to help him build up his hind end strength so he can use himself better and more properly.
Things like hill work and pole work can help you develop a more athletic partner 💪

Training Tip Tuesday- How to correctly tie a rope halter! 🐴
We use a lot of rope halters here at Wild at Heart Ranch because they are an effective training tool. Unlike nylon halters, which a horse can easily lean on and ignore during training sessions, rope halters are sturdier and designed with specially placed knots, which serve as pressure points to reinforce cues.
While rope halters are a great training tool because they are so strong and durable, they do need to be tied correctly. Always make sure that your knot goes back through the eyelet so that if it ever tightens too much, like if your horse pulls back, you can still push up on the rope and undo the knot.
In this video, Betsy will demonstrate how to properly tie your halter so that you have an effective and safe training tool for you and your horse 👏
