Starlight’s Training Adventure!

Yeah, she has! It’s funny. I didn’t even realize she had grown so much until I compared those two pics! My fuzzy baby is growing up.

It must be so much fun to train a yearling and watch them grow!

It is super fun and really rewarding!

Star did really great today!! I took her on a little walk. And I haven’t done that in a while. She did great with the puppies and the water. But she didn’t like the noise of the cars coming from the road. At first she spooked and ran a couple yards away. So I caught her and started working her. I moved her feet forwards, backwards, and side to side. Then when we got to the place that she had spooked I let her relax and eat grass. We still didn’t get very close to the road, but that wasn’t my goal, my goal was to just take her on a nice relaxing walk, and she did great!!

Yesterday morning star and I worked on a little bit of lunging. I have a video but can’t upload it here, sorry. But she did very well!

Star is looking great!! And you and Sugar look awesome.

I kinda like the idea of taking one or two english lessons sometime this year and jumping for fun, but I may hold off for now because I might start riding some other western horses soon, or at least will ask about it, haha.

Have you ridden western?

Thank you so much!


Well I actually rode in a western saddle the first time that I rode sugar. But I just cantered her around a round pen. That’s pretty much the only time I have ridden western.

Hey everyone! Does anyone have any good respect building exercises that I could try with star? She is doing very well but I am hopping start getting her more comfortable around different things and places. Starting with my front yard lol

And I want to make sure she respects my space before I take her around “scary” things and places

There’s always the “joining up” exercise horse whisperers do. I’ve done it and it works.
