Allow Your Horse to Desensitize Himself

Horses are really quick learners and allowing your horse to learn things on their own without your pressure can be really beneficial. By allowing your horse to use their natural curiosity and explore their world on their terms, they will naturally desensitize themselves. This can even save you training time in the long run. ... read more

Is Your Horse Afraid of Bicycles?

If your horse is afraid of bicycles it can lead to a dangerous situation on a trail ride. There are several trails in our area that we share with bicyclists. I find it important to be aware of the rules when trail riding and that is that horses always have the right of way. That being said bicycles must yield to horses. ... read more

Grow In Your Faith

Do you wish you could grow your faith, and you're not sure how? Maybe you admire someone else's faith, but don't know how you could ever enjoy the same deep-rooted confidence. When the storms of life come, faith can make or break you. A ship going out to sea must have an anchor, especially if a storm were to arise. When ... read more

How to Bond With a Horse

Have you struggled to build a strong bond with a horse? When I first got my horse Poncho, I had the hardest time building a bond with him. He seemed uninterested in work and unaffectionate. On top of those things, he was hard to catch and buddy sour. At times, I wasn't sure if he was the right horse for me, and I wondered ... read more

Some pictures from Andrew's birthday ride. It was Some pictures from Andrew's birthday ride. It was just the two of us riding in the quietness of the woods. Andrew is the rock of our family. He gives and gives and never asks for anything. He supports us in so many ways and I'm incredibly grateful for finding my perfect partner for life. What a blessing!

Happy Mother Day. Today I've taken time to cheris Happy Mother Day. 
Today I've taken time to cherish the small moments and the little things. Such as the quietness of the barn while I'm cleaning it. The horses running in the morning light. My children telling me they love me. Tucking them in at night. A meal shared with family. There is so much to be thankful for. I love being a mom and the opportunity to have our horses. Everyday is precious. Thank you Lord.

"Does that saddle look right?" he asked me. Andrew "Does that saddle look right?" he asked me. Andrew is so funny. We don't get a lot of time to ride together these days with having little kids, but he is the man behind the scenes. Who is always supporting me and allowing me the freedom to do the thing I love, which is riding and every once in a while we get away to do it together. His birthday is coming up and I will probably get him some books, but check out my story for the book I just finished. It is so good. I can't recommend it enough.
“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen." Luke 24:5

What a glorious day!! Happy Easter!!
