HYBRID HORSEMANSHIP

HORSE EDUCATION - One day worth of learning… 🤓 (2yo baby)

First steps first ✏️

First desensitize your “baby” using a long rope to throw it over their back…. Until you gain their focus and trust … (that could take some time 😅)

Second, teach them to go forward and teach them to stop as well as changing directions …
(You would want to do that by using your body linguage and foot work before you incorporate sounds and different tools)

If you can get them to understand these questions, that’s a worthy first day of learning 😃💪🏽

Week 8 wrapped up on a high note ✨

Sarah Judson and Giovanni SL delivered a beautiful clear round to finish 6th in the 1.35m Classic — this pair recently stepped up in height and already look right at home. Excited to watch their confidence and partnership continue to grow 💫🐎

Congratulations ._eq_ we are so proud of you!

LET’S TALK HOOF BOOTS 🦶🐴

One of the most common questions I get about our barefoot horses is which hoof boots we use.
We love — they’re easily adjustable, soft, and incredibly comfortable for the horses.

How often we use them depends on each horse’s stage of hoof development.
• Horses new to barefoot may wear them full-time
• Horses further along typically use them for trail rides or walking to and from the ring at horse shows

Hoof boots are a great tool to support a smooth, comfortable transition while keeping horses happy and sound. ✨
