Studley is such a cool horse. Except when he can see mares, then he’s very distracted 😆. Ashleigh had a nice ride in the arena with him despite him making eyes at Joy almost the whole time.

Joy got to join Swagger in the pasture today after her session with Sharon. It was uneventful. She was fascinated watching Ashleigh and I ride out in the arena next to the pasture and came over and watched for a long while. She is still waiting for a patient, experienced adopter with time to bring her to her full potential.

The rain has sure slowed down the videoing and some horse work. We’ve gotten 3.12” according to our weather station thingy. It makes the clay here slick and our round pen is a lake! I’m so happy to see it though, it was already so dry.

I stole this photo from my friend eschlehr. She and her husband Nate own Starfire now. She has grown into the most beautiful mare… and is definitely a daddy’s girl. She was 2 when Ashleigh adopted and trained her for Mustang Mania, so is now 6 yrs old. Time sure flies.

Yesterday Sharon gave Spirit some love and then I trimmed his feet-he’s such a good boy. It was hot and very muggy after all our recent rain and thunderstorms! Glad to see the moisture though.

Had a recent google meet with Forever Branded, since I am a partnership trainer (similar to the old TIP program but better, ask for info if you aren’t familiar). A couple stats were shared that I wanted to pass along. This program has already saved the American Taxpayers over $80 million - in its first year! We have surpassed projected adoption numbers which were already pretty lofty. And the return rate has been less than 2%. Amazing!! I’m so proud of everyone involved.

Branded Partnerships: train a wild horse or b***o, adopt a wild horse or b***o, or advance your horsemanship with community experts!

A SHOW OF HANDS: If I were to hold a demo day/clinic June 27 how many of you would make it? I could add the 28th too if needed.

I would demo on some of my mustangs and b***os but would be willing to set times for people to bring theirs to work with as well if you wanted.

Introducing Briar! Today she had her second session and got her tag off, lots of scratches and brushing, and haltered for the first time. ***o ***otraining
