Help! We need help naming a filly. Something different would be preferred. We have Popstar Princess, Hosstalavista and more. They can or not give hints to her pedigree. She will be grey. Name on all breed is a place holder only...

Performing at their best, starts with feeding the best.

An inevitability of training young (or even older, let’s be honest!) horses is that the addition of speed will get in the way of all the hard work the trainer and horse have put in! As your horse moves faster, their balance, length of stride, and footwork change. Mistakes happen, and as a trainer I not only expect them, but embrace them. After all, I’m the one who asked for the speed, I shouldn’t be mad at my horse for doing what I asked.

The foundations of my horse’s training are what I fall back on to help the horse figure out new pressure. Basic placement and footwork, and a focus on rewarding effort are key. Some horses figure it out in a few tries, others need more time, but as long as they are putting in an effort I feel it’s important to let them keep trying without me micromanaging the situation. I already know I won’t micromanage them in competition, so I’m not going to do it in practice!

I will give them a try or two, then back off to a speed I can reinforce basics. Once I’ve made my point, I will usually try it again with more speed to see if the horse improves. If they do (even if it’s not perfect!) that’s a wrap on the days training. Reward them and be Don. If not, I will slow back down again and/or pull them off pattern to work on some buttons.

All athletes need repitition, and performing at a new speed is a skill that has to be learned over and over again. Happy Training!

Charles sired the most beautiful filly out of Texas Prairie Rose. We are super excited about this cross! Consider him for your mares this season!

Training young barrel horses can be a bit like this! You add something new and it completely upsets everything for a little bit. Keep messing with it and eventually the image will align with the text. 😂

This gets me every time
