* Filled and booking into August *

A training spot has become available for March. Because it’s last minute, I’m offering it at a discounted rate.

If your horse needs a proper foundation, clarity in the basics, or help working through holes in their training, this is a great opportunity to get them consistent, structured work that builds understanding and reliability.

I’m currently booking into summer and only have a few spots remaining.
Message me if you’d like to claim this opening or chat about your goals.

Top things we HATE to hear as c**t starters: 🐴

1. “I would do it myself I just can’t afford to get hurt”

And you think we can!? This is how we make a living, how we pay our bills and feed our children. 🤦‍♀️ We cant afford to get hurt either BUT we have the skills and program to do this in the most successful and safest way possible.

2. “I would do it myself it’s just I don’t bounce like I used to”

Yeah neither do we, and as professional c**t starters we actually don’t hit the ground very often and we hope to keep it that way (Knock on wood).

3. “I don’t need all that fancy stuff, I just need someone to ride the bucks out for a few rides”

You’ll need to find a different program. If all you care about is a crash test dummy be upfront about that and see what c**t starters call you back. Starting c**ts is hard enough on our bodies we don’t get paid enough to just hop on and see what your horse feels like doing to us.

4. “I did all the groundwork already so you can just start riding - because I can only afford 30 days training”

Thank you for trying to prepare your c**t, but I will still be going through my checklist on the ground to be sure your c**t is prepared and a first ride will be successful. We do not offer 30 day c**t starts as it’s just not enough time for your c**t to get a foundation built that will last when you take them home.

5. “I’m a super novice rider and I can’t wait to start riding my first 2yr old! Is 60 days enough?”

No it’s not, even the quietest c**ts need TIME to build a solid foundation that won’t crumble. They will learn so much while they are being started but it takes time for skills to become concrete, and for a horse to be confident making up for mistakes of novice riders.

So as we head into c**t starting season, give your starter the time they need, don’t rush the process and dont treat their body or skills like they are less than.

Stay safe out there yall 👍🏼🐴

Winter’s rolling in, and that means it’s time to start thinking ahead. I’ve got limited training spots available going into winter and spring.

Whether your horse is ready to be started, needs a tune-up, or some focused time to build a better foundation, now’s the time to get them on the schedule. The winter months are a great opportunity to slow things down, get the basics right, and prepare your horse to step into spring ready to go to work.

If you’re looking to build a horse that’s steady-minded, responsive, and reliable in any situation, send me a message to chat about your goals and reserve your spot.

🤍 August 23, 2025 ~ The Best Day of my Life 🤍

This past weekend I got to marry my the love of my life surrounded by all the people we love so deeply! I finally gained the last name that goes with my business name!
Thank you to everyone who has bared with me so far in 2025. 6 months ago we bought an acreage, 3 months later we got engaged, and have spent the past 3 months planning our wedding and getting our acreage ready! We were quite ambitious getting married in 3 months but we did it and now I’ll hopefully be getting back to replying in a timely manner and balancing work/life a little better!

Some horses just take a little more time. A little more patience. A little more grace.
Flynt has taught me that progress doesn’t always look like perfection—it looks like showing up, trying again, and learning without fear of getting in trouble for not having it all figured out.

He’s not always been the easiest, but he’s been one of the most rewarding.
When you give a horse the room to learn without shame, they’ll give you their whole heart.
This moment at Horse Expo Canada meant a lot—for both of us.

Huge thank you to .lynn.photo for always capturing these moments so exceptionally.
And to my dear friend at —thank you for bringing my vision of a vintage western split skirt to life. I’ve always loved the strength and femininity of the women back then, and you helped me channel just that.

Some days aren’t about chasing perfection—they’re about appreciating the ride in front of you.
⠀
The good horse under you, the feel in your hands, the lessons that come with showing up.
⠀
Progress isn’t always flashy—but when you’re present, grateful, and willing to work with what you’ve got, it adds up.
