This registered Morgan filly wrapped up her time with us, and we couldnโ€™t be more proud of the progress she made. ๐ŸŒŸ

She came in unstarted, but incredibly willing, trainable, and ready to learn her place in the world. She leaves with a solid foundation, more confidence, and a clear understanding of her job. Throughout her time here, she consistently showed us just how smart and honest she is.

Some days meant slowing things down, other days meant asking a little more โ€” and she handled both with maturity well beyond her age. โ€œWeenโ€ has a lot of natural ability and likes to stop (watch about 20 seconds in when all I do is sit just a touch and she puts the brakes on ๐Ÿ˜†).

Starting young horses is never about rushing the end goal. Itโ€™s about building trust, good habits, and a foundation that sets them up for long-term success. This filly truly soaked up the process and reminded us how rewarding starting babies can be.

Weโ€™re excited to see where her future takes her โ€” this is only the beginning. We hope to see her back for some continuing education in the future ๐Ÿฉต

Huge thank you to her owner, Jaime Luce-Bartels for trusting us with her start. We appreciate you and canโ€™t wait to see you two in the show pen down the road! ๐Ÿฅณ

Some process fast but need time to mentally settle; Some take longer to understand but stay solid once it clicks; Some feel confident today and need reassurance tomorrow.

None of them are โ€œbehind.โ€ None of them are โ€œahead.โ€ Theyโ€™re just individuals โ€” doing their best with the tools and confidence they have today.

Our job as trainers isnโ€™t to rush the process or force a mold. Itโ€™s to listen, adjust, and build each horse in a way that keeps them mentally confident and physically sound.

Progress isnโ€™t just about training โ€” itโ€™s about how each horse thinks, feels pressure, and develops physically. Pushing them to match someone elseโ€™s pace doesnโ€™t create better horses... Listening to them does.โœจ๐Ÿฆ„

Progress doesnโ€™t come from waiting for the โ€œright time.โ€

It comes from showing up on the hard days, the slow days, and the days when growth feels invisible.

Every ride, every session, every small effort matters. Confidence is built one step at a timeโ€”through patience, consistency, and commitment to the process.

Donโ€™t rush the journey. Trust the work youโ€™re putting in, even when it feels uncomfortable. The results will come when you stay the course.

Keep going--Your goals are closer than you think โœจ๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„

I posted this quote in my lesson group yesterday and asked each of them to think about 3 goals they have for this year. Goal setting is a large part of my program: I love knowing what drives people and doing the best I can to help them get there.

Sometimes I'll ask this question and it catches people off guard; but I love getting their minds thinking and encouraging them that they CAN reach their goals if they have the courage to pursue them.

Goal setting paves the way to achieving things we may have never thought possible: from invisible to visible ๐ŸคŒ I do believe there is a bit of a "science" to this though..

Ideally, goals should be both attainable and motivating--designed to challenge us without being so far out of reach that they diminish our confidence or sense of purpose.

Goals that are too easy don't promote growth, while unrealistic goals can stall progress and create frustration. Challenging yet achievable goals build confidence, momentum, and long-term success. Every path looks different--and that's what makes the journey special! What feels basic to some may be a big step for someone else, and that's okay--our goals should honor where we are as individuals.

I'm not saying that dreaming big is a problem--big goals matter. We need to dream LARGE!

Our lesson program has grown exponentially over the last few years and we welcome riders of all levels. Whether youโ€™re building a foundation or fine-tuning skills for the show pen, lessons are designed to support each riderโ€™s individual goals. We emphasize correct fundamentals, thoughtful progression, and true horsemanshipโ€”developing riders who understand their horse, do it with purpose, and communicate clearly. Our program is more than just patterns and maneuvers; itโ€™s about creating confident, capable horsemen who can adapt across disciplines and perform with consistency.

Every riderโ€™s journey looks different and our goal is to provide clear instruction, honest feedback, and a supportive environment that encourages the growth of both horse and rider. While many of our students focus on performance-based goals with showing in mind, we accept riders who simply are eager to ride and become better horsemen without ever setting foot in the show world.

Our program is mainly geared toward the ranch horse discipline, including ranch horse versatility and it's respective cattle events; as well as ranch sorting; however we have a strong all-around background and multiple successful junior rodeo, barrel racing & pole bending, horsemanship, and WP students giving us an expansive experience base. We believe, no matter your discipline, you can learn something new and obtain useful ideology and tools by remaining versatile.

Our western training program specializes in ranch versatility and their respective cattle events, sorting, and general western performance-based training. No matter the discipline, our goal is to produce confident, correct, and dependable horses. We put the horse firstโ€”focusing on solid foundations and thoughtful development. Our goal is to create sustainable, well-broke equine partners that excel in and out of the show pen and remain sound and willing for years to come.

We accept horses at all stages of training and offer training rides to recent training horses and lesson studentโ€™s horses.

We have recently decreased to a smaller radius of travel due to time, but will travel out of the radius for multiple horses. Currently, we are only accepting clients who plan to stick to a consistent massage schedule. Please reach out with any questions!

Massage & these additional modalities are more than just a โ€œspa dayโ€ for your horse. Equine massage plays a vital role in keeping horses comfortable, sound, and performing at their best. Regular bodywork helps improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, support recovery, and enhance overall mobility. When the body feels good, the horse can move more freely, stay mentally relaxed, and maintain long-term soundness.

Investing in massage and itโ€™s related modalities, then creating a constructive program to improve your horse's biomechanics, is an investment in your horseโ€™s health, comfort, and longevity.

A knowledgeable coach helps fine-tune performance, manage nerves, and make informed decisions in and out of the pen. With experienced guidance, riders can stay focused, learn from each ride, and continue progressing toward their goalsโ€”setting both horse and rider up for long-term success.

Our Story

Abigail's love for horses began at the young age of three when her older sister got her first miniature horse. She and her three older sisters all continued owning, riding, showing, and gaining knowledge with horses. Abigail continued by showing IHSA in college as well as receiving a degree in Business with a minor in Equestrian Studies. When Abigail first saw massage used on her equine athletes and its benefits, she knew she wanted to become certified. Abigail attended school through Midwest Natural Healing for Animals, following the Amassage method developed by Beverly Brady. This school provides much more than just massage techniques: she learned in-depth biomechanics, causes of pain, hoof & dental information, saddle fit and placement, rehab strategies, the ability to eyeball a horse and identify issues before even massaging, and so much more. She plans to immediately move on to become certified in Myofascial Release & Cranial Sacral Therapy. Abigail will continue to add more to her available services in order to keep her equine clients feeling their very best.
