Training Update: Roscoe
Roscoe is a nice gelding with great ground manners. He has been a champ on the trails and has learned to work well in the arena and respond to directions from legs, seat, and reins. Weāre pretty sure that Roscoe was ridden in his past but probably never anything moreā¦
August Training Update: Ben
Checking in with Lisa and Ben: Ben is doing so well! He is soft, tuned in to my feel, learning to pick up and carry a soft feel at the canter, and figuring out how to lift and shape himself around my leg on a gentle bend. This last piece was actually something I wasā¦
July Training Update: Ben
Checking in with Ben and Lisa!! Itās been very interesting getting to work with Ben every day, with no other horses on my roster. Iām able to get down to some nitty gritty details, get back to some Super Basics, and really work on some holes that I knew were in there,ā¦

Getting to know Star
Star began his training today at SAFE. He definitely has some training in there, some typical late cut Arabian attitude, jumpy but comes back quickly, a sweet cuddly side and a āwalk all over you with my left shoulderā issue. He was a very good boy for his firstā¦

Back in the Saddle with Sienna
