Hello all! I welcome you to my all-things-equine training blog. I am 23 yrs old and have begun my journey in hopes of one day becoming a well rounded horse trainer. Please follow me and enjoy the ride as I become a professional in the crazy industry of hunter jumpers, eventing and pleasure horses. I hope you will enjoy the tips and the stories!

On To the Next Adventure!

So I have decided to turn this into my information and training blog! I hope to post weekly (at least!) of my thoughts, exercises, and different topics that hopefully will help you in your riding or training.

Although that is my desire for the direction of this blog, The next 3 months this blog will be taken over by posts of my latest adventure. I am ecstatic to announce that I have been selected as one of 10 trainers to compete in the A Home For Ever Horse, Equine Comeback Challenge! 10 rescue horses have been placed with 10 different trainers for 90 days to be broke and trained to the best of our abilities. At the end of the 90 days we will all take our horses to the Pennsylvania National Horse Show and compete against one another to see who has the best horse! We are required to show the horses in a trail class. For those of you who don't know what that is, a trail class is class with all the obstacles a horse may face in the outdoors on a trail ride. The obstacles include tarps, bridges, mail boxes, gates, poles, cross rails, and a few other things. After our trail class is completed we have 3 minuets of freestyle to showcase other talents the horse has learned while in training.


I picked up my horse (Louie) on Monday and will be posting tomorrow about his first week of boot camp! 

I am so blessed to have an opportunity to do something like this. It is truly a dream come true. I'm still pinching myself to make sure I'm awake!

If you would like to follow Louie's facebook page I'm sure he would like that. :P I try my best to post as many pictures as possible there so everyone can watch his transformation!
