To gaze upon the wilderness, from the back of a horse, quiets the mind and heals the soul. I believe that trips out of the arena are good for mental health and for the soul (of both the human and horse). ———————————————————————- QOTD: where is your favorite spot to escape the arena? ———————————————————————- Use code reinitin10 for 10% off @ranchytailbags ———————————————————————- #horse #horses #horsesofinstagram #horsesofinsta #instahorse #horsetagram #mare #maresofinstagram #quarterhorse #quarterhorsesofinstagram #aqha #aqhaproud #horselifeirl #lifebetweentheears #trailriding #westernriding #trailride #offthetrail #showhorse #showhorselife #equestrian #equestrianlife #agirlandherhorse #horsebackriding #coloradotrail #cherokeeridge #outofthearena #socialdistancing #reinitin

Trail Tuesday: El took the lope over extremely well. Although a boring trail obstacle, several horses break gait or switch leads when loping over obstacles. ———————————————————— QOTD: Does your horse ever try to switch leads on you without being asked? ——————————————————- Use code reinitin10 for 10% off @ranchytailbags ——————————————————- #horse #horses #horsesofinstagram #horsesofinsta #instahorse #horsetagram #mare #maresofinstagram #quarterhorse #quarterhorsesofinstagram #aqha #aqhaproud #buckskin #buckskinhorse #ranchhorse #ranchhorseversatility #versatilityranchhorse #showhorse #showhorselife #horsebackriding #westernriding #trailriding #trailcourse #equestrian #equestrianlife #trailtuesday #reinitin #agirlandherhorse
What horses teach us:⠀ "•• The Pursuit of Peace ••⠀ Reposted with permission and featuring @elviskingoftrot ⠀ ——————————————⠀ You’ve had a stressful day, rubbing your forehead you mumble something about self-care and needing to relax. Finally you have time and you do whatever it takes to make you just let the day go. Focusing on a book, yoga, exercise, a new show, or simply on nothing at all. In this way we actively pursue our own peace. ⠀ When working with horses most of the time we expect peace. In fact, many times it’s the way we go after our own. How often is it your goal to help your horse pursue their own peace? ⠀ I’ve always believed lunging to be a pursuit of the mind. It’s nice for them to get their energy out, yes, but that should not be the main focus. However, after talking to a friend almost two weeks ago, I decided that my “goal” with lunging would instead be a reach toward relaxation.⠀ In that time I have worked with Elvis, not looking to spend energy, not just waiting till his brain “connects”, but instead working to help him relax and just *breathe*. The first day it took 20 minutes, the second day it took 45. Some of which was purely standing still and just waiting for that release. The third time, it clicked and it took 10 minutes and he was stretching, relaxing, and had the softest eyes. This last time he was tuning into my cues with the softest request from me. This new mindset in turn has made our time that much more fun and rewarding, and it has just been so... peaceful 🌿⠀ •• Emotional Equine ••"⠀ ——————————————————⠀ I need more people to feature!!!

Successful (ish) Sunday: Still not a perfect spin but she’s reaching over with her outside front much better. This is allowing her to gain more spend while staying correct. Check out my posts from Friday and Saturday to see the progression of El’s reach overs. ——————————————————————- Questions or comments? Post them below!

Striving Saturday: In yesterday’s post, El’s outside front leg wasn’t reaching over enough and causing slow spins while moving her hind end. —————————————————— To get her to reach better, I’ve been asking her to side pass and when I feel her take a few good cross over steps, I put her into a spin. Although it’s not the prettiest right now, the goal was to get her to reach over better and you can see she’s starting to do that. —————————————————— Questions or comments? Post them below.
