This was a big moment- a change on the diagonal!!! It’s our first one because we are being coached by Ali Brock who has been adamant about not doing them on the diagonal until about a million things are established lol. Today she said try it!! And boom- straight, adjustable, changed with his nose at the letter with balance. So grateful for her amazing coaching!!! 😌🥰

I’m super excited to start up these workshops again! Renee Lopez has graciously allowed me to host a workshop at Retama ❤️ It will be May 15 from 9-1. The format will be unmounted relaxation and mindfulness exercises and discussion during the first half (think restorative yoga) with mounted sessions the second half to incorporate a mindset approach in the saddle. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I’ll be building the format to focus on what people really want help with (from fear based issues to competition anxiety) and my intention is for participants to leave with new practical tools to enhance their riding.

FOR SALE: Anastasia is a lovely 2013 Danish WB mare. 15.3hh; however, she can accommodate tall riders (rider in pic is 5’10”). She has competed at Training and First levels in recognized competition with scores up to 69.7%. She is schooling 2nd/3rd level. She is forward but not hot and is very easy to sit- definitely not a “push” ride, yet she is very sensible. She loves trail rides, self-loads on the trailer, can be ridden ba****ck, in a bitless bridle, and is a sweetheart who loves to cuddle! Reasonably priced. Located north of San Antonio in Kerrville, TX. PM for price and video.
