“I wasn’t one of those kids that just showed up to the barn and had a horse waiting for them…I cleaned stalls, cleaned tack, groomed and saddled my own horse, cooled out my own horse and then groomed again before putting my horse away.” Sarah Williams shares with us why she’s glad that she gets to do these “dirty little chores”.
No, I’m not talking about “balance” in the saddle, but rather the balance in life that allows us to enjoy our horses and our time in the saddle while still maintaining a sense of structure in our lives. Follow along as Sarah Williams helps us find out how to enjoy our horses and the rest of our life responsibilities.
You spend a lot of time at the barn interacting with your horse and fellow boarders so follow Sarah Williams as she outlines the top five things that drive most horse people nuts at the barn.
Whether as a rider or auditor, participating in a clinic is a great way to receive valuable hands-on experience in various styles and levels of horsemanship, which can improve the relationship between you and your horse. Come along and visit the HP Kind clinic with Sharon Jantzen to see how Classical Dressage principals are applied to Cowboy Dressage.

Sarah Williams takes us through the whys and hows of a proper warm up for horses.
