Happiest birthdays to two of our retirees!
Today is sweet Lucy’s 31st birthday, and tomorrow is Desert Storms 35th birthday!!
Lucys favorite thing is being scratched and loved on, and Storms favorite thing is getting ginger snap cookies and Masterson Method sessions from his owner.
We so love our mash eating, fun loving friends. Happy birthday loves!

Barn aisle refresh! Half of our aisle is now matted, and the other half has fresh rock dust! Who needs a gym membership when you get to spread rock dust with a manure fork?
Tying, trailer loading, leading/following on the trail, and crossing water are all basic skills a horse and rider should be able to do easily, but they’re also areas where many horse owners run into trouble. These are simple expectations that every horse should be able to do. Too often I see people making excuses for their horses or simply getting stuck. Years go by and they don’t fully enjoy their horse - whether from fear, lack of education, or not having the right support system. That’s just not fair to you or your horse.
That’s where I come in. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I work with both horse and rider to build confidence, clarity, and consistency, breaking each skill down into simple, practical steps that make sense for you and your horse. Whether your horse needs a tune-up or you need guidance on timing, feel, and communication, I’ll meet you where you’re at (judgement free) and help you move forward. My goal is to give you the tools and understanding to feel safe, capable, and truly enjoy your horse the way you’ve always wanted to.
and Sir Smitten today! Smitty is currently in for a tune-up and progressing nicely. If possible, we recommend scheduling a mid-program lesson to review your goals, ensure your horses training is aligning with your expectations, and evaluate your riding so we can better match your horse’s development to your needs.

Ticks aren’t just a nuisance, they can pose real health risks to your horse. From irritation and skin infections to the potential spread of diseases like Lyme, it’s something every horse owner needs to stay ahead of, especially this time of year.
Prevention is key, and what you use matters. I personally choose Ultra Boss (linked below) over products like Equispot. It’s been more effective for me, and I like having control over the application process. It’s also much more cost-effective, especially when you’ve got a barn full of horses to care for.
I apply it every 6 weeks using a small wool dauber I get on Amazon. (also linked below) This helps me target areas where ticks tend to hide (under the jaw, between and down the legs, down their back, and along the belly line) without over-applying or wasting product.
I’ve been using this product for over 4 years now, and I have never had a horse show any irritation or discomfort. I also add a small amount to my fly spray for an extra layer of protection.
A little consistency goes a long way in keeping your horse comfortable and protected. I like to do this on my horses farrier day, to help me keep track and consistent. (apply after the farrier visit so your farrier isn’t touching oily horse legs)
This is something I include in my boarding services. Keeping horses comfortable and protected is always a priority here and one less thing for my clients to worry about.
If you’ve been battling ticks already this season, it might be time to switch things up. Your horse will thank you!
