It’s Friday! . And surprisingly I actually know that! Half the time I have no idea what day of the week it is! . Does anyone else struggle with knowing what day of the week it is? Or am I alone? Bueller? . Also, isn’t this photo of me on Paisley, from @artofthecowgirl, taken by my sister from another mister @c.lazy.j.designs so good? . #artofthecowgirl2020 #coltstartingmagic #horsebackriding #ranchphotography #cowgirllife #paisleybemine #aqha #ranchlife #coltstarting #cowgirlsrock #adventuregram #horseofinstagram #adventureinspired #cowgirls #liveoutdoors #horseoftheday #horsegirl #amazing_shots #outdoorslife #adventureinspired (at Outside the Turn) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SPIHAgw_s/?igshid=15k7l2ioaqkji
Back into it with Tazzie today after our huge week here on the farm 💕 . Gotta say, this little lady is becoming known as 'miss reliable' around here! I've ridden her in all weather, with or without distractions going on, and she just gets on with it. She has such a brilliant work ethic!👌 . We'll be stepping her workload up next week in preparation to start finding her a great new home. I'll be so sad to see her go, but so proud and happy at the same time to cheer her on and support her new family 🙏 Our focus going forward is going to be improving rhythm, balance, and getting her sharper off the leg. Maybe even a few fun poles sessions, too. . I'm so genuinely excited for this girls future, I'm such a huge fan of this sweet little soul and can't wait to follow her journey. Until then I'll keep the updates coming! 💕 . Big love, Katie xx 💕🐎😘 . #angaloarab #younghorse #fourwhitesocks #horsetraining #horsebreaking #flatwork #dressagetraining #dressagelesson #ridinglesson #galloway #naturalhorsemanship #horsemanship #greenbroke #horsetrainer #equestrianlife #equestrianblogger #coltstarting #arabian #arabianhorse #ponyclub #pcav #ponyclubber #lemieux #lemieuxblackcurrant #forsale #equestrian #mare #chestnutmare #beautifulhorse #bestpony (at KRequestrian) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9_VdkfJpyB/?igshid=h2swarjm3gsk
New baby and I slowly getting acquainted
Lots of ground work leads to an uneventful first ride. Thanks to Ben for realizing us old guys don’t bounce anymore and taking that first ride
First ride outside. We told bronc stories the whole trip, I’m surprised we didn’t jinx ourselves
First saddle. It’s always a pleasure to watch Tom work
I spent quite a few years pretending I liked starting colts. . I mean in theory I did. I liked how my colts rode because I’d built that relationship from the beginning. . But in my head I was in full on panic. My anxiety level was through the roof. . I’m so grateful I was able to overcome that fear. . Today, I look forward to helping the next one I get to start. No anxiety. No second guessing: straight on belief in what I’ve learned from life and from the horse and from those who’ve done more of it than me. . What’s something you once struggled with and overcame? . #artofthecowgirl2020 #coltstarting #cowgirlsdoitbetter #cowgirlshit #horsemanship #horsetraining #paisleybemine #aqha #aqhaproud https://www.instagram.com/p/B8uCE34AOkU/?igshid=w9ooeceh204y
