We love getting visits from former clients!

We love getting visits from former clients!❤️ Sarah rode with us until she was 17 & we even helped find her current horse for her. She’s now grown up & married but we get to see her when we are in Ocala. And since she’s short, we even recruit her to help with the ponies!👌🏻

Jenn’s Signature Tip

Jenn’s Signature Tip💡Using a simple gymnastic is a great way to get your horse engaged mentally and physically gearing up for the circuit.

For our ring this week, we set up a very easy canter in one stride to one stride. We used all verticals to keep things inviting and confidence building for the greener horses and for horses who might be a little insecure in their skills. ✅ Build up to make this excerise more technical for your horse as they become slow and confident.💪🏻
