Spring Training

When one genuinely has more to do than time to do it things must be prioritized. My priorities for the spring are to complete fencing in a huge mixed forest section of our land to allow the horses to take advantage of the browse over the spring and summer and to do a lot of horse training, even if that means less riding for a few months. Several of my riders have young horses that are ready for intense training and I look forward to working with them to teach them how to teach their horses.

I also have several other mares that we will be training in order to get them perfectly trained for sale. None of these horses are Corollas and selling several of these larger horses will give me room to take more horses into the off site breeding program.

We will once again institute our Introduction to Natural Horsemanship Classes in April. Participants in those four sessions will be given the opportunity for hands on work with horses that are actually being trained. Many of my riders that have been with us for only a short while will really benefit from auditing those four sessions.

Their horses will benefit even more than will they.
