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!

7 Weeks down 5 To go

Week 7 was a lighter week of work for Little Louie. Happy as a clam to have a few extra days off he did put in his hard work when it came down to it. We worked more on long lining at the trot. I was happy to see him improve a lot by the end of the week. I know I've talked about my love for long lining but this week was proof again. The work we put in on the ground was evident when we went under saddle. We also worked on cantering. Surprisingly cantering seems to come naturally to Louie. Although he is weak under saddle his canter is quite comfortable. In the upcoming weeks it will be exciting to watch both his trot and canter transform into a stronger gates.

Other than that there's not much new to report. A lot of repetition, and consistency to make Little Louie into a better horse. This week I hope to get him off on another adventure, hopefully with more people, confusion, and horses. There are also a few obstacle clinics and events in our area in the next few weeks, hopefully Louie will be visiting a few. If you will be attending any of the trail trials or horse shows in our area please let me know. Louie and I would love to meet you!

Louie thinks all this work is too hard! I can't get enough of this cutie! Such a handsome Little man and a pleasure to work with :) I wouldn't want to be going into this with any other partner. I'm excited to see what the future holds for this guy! 


Until next week, enjoy your horses and the beautiful weather were having!

Love.............. Courtney and Louie
