MEET KELSI

I would like to take the time to put the spotlight on this rider! This is Kelsi & Grunt from H.E.A.R.T HORSEMANSHIP

Last weekend I witnessed the local horse community of Genesee county come together and be a part of this girl's journey to her first horse show at Michigan State University!

Special thanks go to all involved! 

Kelsi & Grunt did wonderful in their class that day. She sported a fashionable hunt seat riding outfit which looked wonderful with Grunts golden coat and styled mane/tail. 

Check out their photos below!!!!

Watch out for this stunning team as they take on the world of horse showing! 

Back at it doing what I love

So I'm back volunteering at Horses Haven and brought along an old friend who is an aspiring Veterinarian! Here's some photos of us at the farm in Howell, Michigan.

Future Therapeutic Riding Pony at HEART Horsemanship

Had the pleasure of riding La Te Da on a bareback pad for the first time a couple weeks ago at HEART HORSEMANSHIP she's going to make a wonderful therapeutic riding pony! Brownie points for letting me ride her backwards! She also is not wearing a bit in her mouth. Does this mean one day we'll be able to pull a Stacey Westfall? For those who have not seen that beautiful video I have attached the link right here please go watch it!

The magnificent Stacy Westfall riding without a saddle or bridle stopping after galloping at full speed!

Yes I am riding backwards! Thanks to Chelsea for leading her. The best view on a horse is not limited to looking between the ears!

Fighting the Winter

It's winter time in Michigan which can only mean seeing images like this:

Even though it's too cold to ride or seems like there's little do with horses and volunteering you will be surprised to learn you're mistaken.

Horses' Haven of Howell, MI is looking for volunteers right now for the winter because of a shortage. If you need volunteer hours or a workout this is the place for you!

HEART Horsemanship of Flushing, MI might be keeping their riders inside but it doesn't stop you from contributing as a sponsor!

Personally, I'd like to become a yellow ribbon sponsor one day.
