Cheshire Hill Farm Our lesson program focuses on teaching horsemanship and a balanced seat to ride in any discipline. We start lessons ages 4 to young adult.

We also offer camps and activities throughout the year geared towards horsemanship and riding.

“Mom!! That horses are out!”

This isn’t exactly something you want to hear on a Sunday afternoon 😂

The evenings are slowly cooling down. The mornings, lately, are definitely cooler.

I like variety. I have different styles of saddles for different riding disciplines. Students are introduced to other equestrian activities— this way, it helps those who are unsure of their goals to create a list.

This past week we went western for some of my riders because it’s so hot in the afternoon. It gave them a chance to wear shorts or relax in jeans for a lesson.

I have a few students who want to ride in a western saddle. I explain that I start everyone in an English saddle to learn to feel the horse, not to rely on the leather and horn to hold them on… and once they’re trotting comfortably and can guide the horse safely, we can switch.

Every instructor is different. Some go straight to the western saddle— and that’s ok! This is how I do it and what works for my program. 😊

It was a busy Sunday.

I took care of the animals aa I do every Sunday— cleaning all the pens: spraying things down with permethrin, changing shavings, cleaning troughs ams waterers… cutting grass for the poultry/ fowl by hand…

Spend the hottest part of the day cleaning the house before going back out for evening chores.

I’ve got pictures of lessons this past week that I will post tomorrow. Until then, have a wonderful evening!!

Lisa had her first lesson yesterday morning. She is riding her horse, Cookie.

We all start some where. And for some of us, we have to start over because life does what life does.

The important part is having to courage to start again. The change from the start of the lesson to the end is just the beginning for these two!

Yesterday evening it was miserable- especially for our poultry. So we decided to turn the water on— and then forgot about it. 🤦‍♀️

It’s so hot outside. 🥵

Yes it is miserable —however!!
We are now into the -ber months so hopefully the weather will become more bearable soon!

I have a lot of pictures from this week— and it’s only Tuesday. This moment today captured my heart. The young girl reminds me of soo many of my current and past students when they started out! I am excited to see her progress as an equestrian. ☺️

Ah yes, back-to-school season. The time of year when suddenly everyone has soccer four nights a week, volleyball three nights a week, dance, cheer, football, homework, birthday parties, and approximately 900 other commitments...

And horse practice is the thing that apparently needs to understand.

I completely understand that kids are busy. I'm not asking horses to be the only sport.

But we do have to be realistic.

You can't bring your kid to riding once a week, occasionally skip that, and then wonder why they're not progressing at the same rate as the kid riding 3-4 times a week.

You wouldn't tell the dance instructor, "We're gonna miss half the practices but we'd like her to be in the recital with with advanced kids."

Yet somehow horses get handed the leftover Tuesday night and we're expected to produce magic.

One lesson a week is absolutely enough if your goal is to enjoy horses, learn, and have fun.

But if the goal is to compete, progress quickly, and ride at a higher level, consistency matters.

Your trainer can't make up for the hours you're not here.

And really- just make your kids pick a dang sport. Maybe two. You can’t realistically give your all to multiple things. I dont know. Maybe I’m just irked. Sue me.
