Valhalla Stables

There's a new face around Valhalla Stables.
This is Garth, a 15 week old Great Pyreneese x Maremma.

Dolly is back to being a ridden horse!
This girl gave me my biggest wreck 3 years ago and between being busy with teaching, working and then getting pregnant I didn't really get the chance to get back on. I was determined this year that I was going to ride her again. Well on Friday I sat on her back and then on Sunday I actually rode her and then again yesterday. I've taken a lot of time with Dolly, building her trust doing ground work and just hanging out with her and all my time has paid off because when I got back on it was like she never had any time off.
I'm so excited for Dolly's future. I think she's going to be a cool little horse.
Also for the first time ever every horse on the property is in work of some kind.

Look who has a halter on!
We met our goal of getting a halter on Rye by the end of the month. Now we just have to work on being caught more reliably.

Kurtis and I had so much fun at the Salmon Valley Gymkhana Club roping clinic.
It was Zen's and our first time roping a moving dummy as she did so well. Zen had no fear and we were both able to get the cow multiple times.

Thank you to everyone who came to the gymkhana youth day. I was incredibly proud of how everyone rode and represented Valhalla Stables.

On Tuesday May 12th after twelve and a half years of owning her we said goodbye to Tess.
Tess was the first horse we owned and was the reason behind us wanting to buy land and start Valhalla Stables.
She was the first ride for many of my students and it was a privilege to share her with you all.

I am going to be hosting a beginner friendly massage and saddle fitting clinic for the gymkhana club. If any of my students are interested let me know.

We took Zen down to the gymkhana arena today with the new truck to get her all ready for lessons. She got to run around and get all her bucks before Kurtis took her for a spin.
