Verde Valley listen up!!
It is getting warm so our trips down south will be paused for the next few months until it cools off again.
However, we are going to sneak in one final trip next Thursday May28 to Lazy S 6 Ranch and i am opening this day to all of you first before i post it in the larger groups. If your horse needs to be seen and floated don't wait because it may be a few months before I am back in the area. (Sorry but i am a mountain girl and just can't do the heat)
I have a list started so reach out asap if you would like to secure a spot!

Hey y’all did you miss us because we sure missed you! 🐴🐮

We are back at Lucy’s Bar and Grill in Chino Valley, we are so excited to get back into events at that wonderful arena!

Our first event back is a beginner roping lesson on this Saturday May 23rd and we would love to see everyone out there 🤠

We will start on the ground first learning the mechanics of roping then you can get on your horses get them used to the rope and try roping the dummy 🐮

Don’t have a horse? That’s okay still come out it’s always good to start learning to rope on the ground

Side note we are going through some changes and rebranding but we are excited for all the new changes ahead and hope to see all your friendly faces again

❗️please text Al to reserve your spot for the lesson this weekend and fill free to ask any questions❗️

🐴 Most Horse Problems Don’t Start With the Explosion

Most horse problems don’t start when the horse bolts.

They don’t start when the horse bucks.

They don’t start when the horse pulls back, spooks, braces, or refuses.

They usually start before that.

They start when the horse raises his head.

When his body gets tight.

When his breathing changes.

When his feet get quick.

When his eye gets hard.

When he stops thinking and starts looking for a way out.

But here’s the problem…

Most people were never taught how to read those signs early.

So they keep going.

They pull harder.

They get tighter.

They try to make the horse listen.

They get frustrated.

And before long, the horse goes from worried…
to scared…
to survival mode.

Then the human gets scared too.

Now both horse and human are reacting instead of thinking.

That’s when things can get unsafe.

The goal is not to wait until your horse panics and then try to fix it.

The goal is to learn how to see the warning signs before panic takes over.

A good horseman learns to ask:

What is my horse telling me right now?

Is he still thinking?

Is he getting worried?

Am I staying calm?

Do I need to lower the pressure?

Because your horse does not need you to get louder.

He needs you to get clearer.

He needs you to stay calm enough to help him come back down.

And sometimes the best thing you can do is stop, breathe, soften your body, and give the horse a chance to think again.

That’s not a weakness.

That’s leadership.

Your horse is always communicating.

The question is:

Are we calm enough to listen before he has to shout? 🐴

Have you ever looked back and realized your horse was giving warning signs before the big reaction happened?
If so, let us know what you saw.
