Horseback Tag is fun!!
We love playing horseback tag. Our rules are simple. You must tag the rider NOT the horse. IF the rider is a walk-trot level rider then when being pursued by them or when pursuing them you may only walk-trot. Gotta be safe for everybody - which means paying attention to your horse so it doesn't try to bite or kick another horse. IMO it is wise to wear riding helmets anytime you are riding horses - whether a beginner or a very experienced rider like myself - you will note that I am wearing my Resistol RideSafe Helmet that is built into a REAL western straw cowboy hat.
We have found that playing horseback tag helps fairly new riders very rapidly gain confidence and very naturally gain a good seat. Where they had struggled with sitting the trot - often during tag they just find their seat because they forget about bouncing and get into the game and then start riding more naturally correct.
We have also found that playing horseback tag helps horses and riders start working like a team better. My hunch is that it forces the rider to think ahead a bit and that helps them communicate better with the horse they are riding. Because they NEED to work as a team to either avoid being tagged or to tag someone. And a horse that is very solid doing lateral movements definitely has an advantage in keeping the rider from being tagged as well as in getting in and tagging someone.
Remember to intentionally, on purpose, learn of God each day by prayerfully reading, studying, and pondering upon God's word each day. Talk to God in prayer as your Heavenly Father who would like for you to be His friend. Find out what He would like you to do for Him as His friend and go and do it for Him as His friend. Yes very intentionally, very much on purpose, become the friend of God. And have a blessed day!!

3yr old filly working a hinged gate twice 6 Sept 2023
Cinnamon, the 3yr old Gypsy-Shire, was curried and saddled while on Stand-Stay - then immediately mounted up and worked a gate to get into the front pasture. Yes I believe the horse should calmly understand its job so that it can simply be saddled and go do that job cold - no warm up - no lunging - saddle up and go to work. So we did exactly that - we walked over to the gate into our small lot we use as an arena and I put Cinnamon on Stand-Stay by that gate - dismounted from the off side and rigged up a way to use a nearby post to hold my phone to take a video. You see me mounting from the off side (the "wrong" side) because that is the safest way to mount when the horse is pretty close to the gate. We then work the gate twice - first by the push away walk through method - second by the push away back through method. Yes on a 3yr old filly with just 3 months of starting level training. This is not a finished horse - this is simply a well started youngster - a 3yr old filly. She knows how to neck rein. She knows the basic lateral movements - pass around the forehand (hip yield) - pass around the haunches (shoulder yield aka pivot) - and side pass. When asked to canter she knows how to take the requested lead even if there is no visual cue. She has done a lot of wading level water crossings, stepped over many logs of varied sizes, gone up and done moderate to quite steep hills. She loads into a horse trailer by the send in method. She unloads from the trailer by the tail tug back out method. She did one dally and drag of a small tree limb downed by a storm - just a real quick intro by pulling it beside her while leading her - then get on and do it - and she drug it the best part of a quarter mile to the brush pile in the woods - just like it was perfectly normal though it was her first time ever. In addition to foundational training in the arena Cinnamon has logged 89.6 road miles including going to the grocery store and she has also logged 151.4 trail miles here on Lenawee County farmland plus at Waterloo Recreation Area and also at Oak Openings Metropark. That is a total of 241.1 miles logged on roads and trails in addition to foundational training done in the arena. Yes I VERY much believe it takes REAL miles going somewhere to make a good horse and this young filly though not a finished horse has a VERY good start. Her owner has wisely taken me up on the offer to come over weekly to work on horsemanship and when this filly goes home tomorrow I am pretty certain her owner will be happy with her.

Kendalyn (14) pounding a horse nail in - 23 Aug 2023
Kendalyn's 3yr old Gypsy-Shire filly, Cinnamon, needed her shoes reset on 23 Aug 2023. Kendalyn (14) had ridden on a 5.8 mile trail ride and was planning on holding her horse while I reset the shoes all around after the trail ride. But she very happily took the opportunity to learn to pound horse nails, set the nails, and clinch. That is hard work - she is tough. Her filly stood very well.

Ashur - first ride assessment - 17 Aug 2023
Ashur - first ride assessment - 17 Aug 2023
The owner of Ashur was told that he was a very well trained horse. This is a first ride assessment made to determine what level of training he actually has. Even if they have not been ridden in many years it is rapidly obvious if a horse has been well trained because horses purportedly have the second best memory of any land animal. You can see that someone did do the first part of training quite well with him - he is not the least bit scared of the saddling process. The rest of what happened suggests that possibly much of the training he had done on him was done ONLY or primarily in a round pen. He gives not the least hint of understanding neck reining. And while he steers moderately well at a walk his steering ability degrades in his second gait.
After this First Ride Assessment in the small lot we use to do arena work I led him outside our pasture system. Outside the fence he was more anxious about being mounted - harder to get him to stand still - and worse about walking off while you are in the middle of mounting. He walked down our East lane pretty well - quite willingly but as we approached the woods (wet with many puddles due to hard rain just a couple hours earlier in the day) he began loudly proclaiming "I am not a trail horse" because he was scared to walk in the puddle strewn mud. With much green horse reasoning I did get him to go through the puddle strewn entry to the woods. And when we hit a spot where he needed to actually do a water crossing it was all brakes and all "let's turn and leave" and with MUCH green horse reasoning - working to NOT bump up his anxiety further while saying "we are NOT turning and leaving" and "we are facing the water - because once you get your wits about you we are fording that water" I eventually did get him to ford two different water crossings in a very green horse manner.
Training horses always involves some risk of injury (or even death) to the horse, the trainer, any spectators, equipment used, etc. - this risk is totally your own as you will be making your own judgements on what to do. As with any suggestions on any subject you must weigh them out for yourself and proceed accordingly - at your own risk.
Remember to intentionally, on purpose, learn of God each day by prayerfully reading, studying, and pondering upon God's word each day. Talk to God in prayer as your Heavenly Father who would like for you to be His friend. Find out what He would like you to do for Him as His friend and go and do it for Him as His friend.

USA and An Appeal to Heaven flags
The "An Appeal to Heaven" aka "Pine Tree" flag predates the flag of the USA. I encourage you to study a bit more of its history by sharing a few links with you to start your study.

May we in our day wisely Appeal to Heaven and also do our part in the cause of Liberty. Let it not be said by future generations that we let Liberty die because we did not know the Principles of Liberty and we did not act to re-enthrone them.

Ashur - intro to the herd - 18 Aug 2023
Ashur - intro to the herd - 18 Aug 2023
Ashur is a 5yr old blue roan TWH gelding. When we intro a new horse into the herd (very small herd) we first put them in an adjoining lot - so the horses all first meet each other across the fence. Before we let the new horse loose we lead or pony them around the inside perimeter of the fence - in a small lot on foot we lead them twice around in each direction and we tap/flick the top wire of the fence to make it move so the horse, with vision keen to notice motion, sees the high tensile electric fence. By the time you have walked the horse around the small lot four times it is generally calm - no longer excited about being in a new place - and if it is calm we turn it loose knowing it knows where the boundary fence is. If we are introducing a new horse to a large pasture we generally pony the new horse off an experienced horse so that the new horse is closest to the fence - can see the fence - and we go around twice. We don't go the other direction simply because it wouldn't be likely to pay attention to the fence when the pony horse is blocking direct to the side view of the fence. We put the herd in the small lot. We turn the new horse loose ALONE in the large pasture so it familiarizes itself with the pasture without any members of the herd pushing it around. Once the new horse is used to the large pasture then we turn the boss horse in with it and once it understands who the boss is then other herd members are introduced.
This video is raw unedited video segments spliced together which I took as Ashur was first introduced to the boss mare, Avi, and many hours later was introduced to Cinnamon, a 3yr old Gypsy-Shire filly. In the video you hear me repeatedly say that Avi made no contact in her initial charge with teeth bared as Ashur invaded her space. That is assuredly how it looked as I watched in person. In the video it looks like she did bite him. I checked Ashur very thoroughly with my eyes and hands and if he got bit it took off no hair and it left no mark nor bruise. So if he did get bit as it appears in he did in the video it was VERY mild contact if any actual contact was made at all. Any time a new horse is introduced to an existing herd there is HIGH likelihood of physical confrontation. The way we go about doing the introduction helps REDUCE the severity of the physical confrontation - because the horses have already tended to figure out who the boss is across the fence before they actually are together.

Talk to God in prayer as your Heavenly Father who would like for you to be His friend. Find out what He would like you to do for Him as His friend and go and do it for Him as His friend.

Ashur - intro to small lot - 16 Aug 2023
Ashur - intro to small lot - 16 Aug 2023
When introducing horses to new to them fenced areas I lead or pony them around the fence twice in both directions. So they have opportunity to clearly see the boundary from each eye. If I am on foot I will tap the top wire so it vibrates to ensure the horse sees it better OR if it is a small pony then vibrate the wire that is at near nose level to it. This also give the horse a chance to walk calmly around the new pen rather than dash around it not knowing the boundaries. The objective is to GREATLY minimize the chance the horse will run into or through the fence.

Oliver learning to ride a horse 5 Aug 2023
Oliver (11) was visiting us along with his parents and took the opportunity to learn to ride a horse. Instruction began in our small lot we use as an arena. Oliver first rode Cinnamon a 3yr old Gypsy-Shire in her 2nd month of training. Cinnamon was cooperative but seemed to be feeling a bit peppy so we switched horses and Oliver then rode Faith a 20yr old Quarter Horse mare with nearly two months in training. Faith went in to "dog along" mode and tolerated Oliver learning to ride much better. So once Oliver got the basics of steering and brakes - being able to guide Faith where he asked her to go and being able to stop when he asked to stop we then went on a 2.1 mile trail ride which included riding around the Butler Prairie which is beautiful with wildflower bloom. On the trail ride we forded through water in three different places - and two of those places we forded both heading out and coming back - so in total we forded water five times on Oliver's first ever horseback trail ride.

Talk to God in prayer as your Heavenly Father who would like for you to be His friend. Find out what He would like you to do for Him as His friend and go and do it for Him as His friend. Yes very intentionally, very much on purpose, become the friend of God. And have a blessed day!!
