Horses are stepping stones in our lives, and I truly believe every horse comes to us for a reason. Every one teaches us something different.

Some teach us patience. Some teach us confidence. Some challenge us to become better riders. And some remind us that horses are meant to be enjoyed…. not just worked.

This guy is one of those horses for me. I absolutely adore him. ❤️ He was so much fun to work with and watch blossom.

And sometimes, what a horse needs isn’t another day of arena work. Sometimes they need to get out, see something different, stretch his legs, and just be a horse.

A change in routine. A new trail. A different environment. A little adventure. A fun pasture mate. A spa day.

And honestly? I need it too.

We can get so focused on training, improving, and accomplishing the next thing that we forget to stop and enjoy the horse standing underneath us.

So get out of the arena. Change it up. Ride the trails. Make memories. Loosen up. Have fun. Live, laugh and love your horse! Let your horse experience more than just circles and patterns.

That’s what we believe in here. We want our horses to experience more than just arena work. We change things up, get outside, explore the trails, and give them opportunities to learn and enjoy themselves in different ways.

If you aren’t enjoying your horse, maybe it’s time to ask yourself why. And if that partnership isn’t bringing you joy, it’s okay to let that horse go and find one you do enjoy. Not every horse is meant to stay with us forever. Some are here for a season, to teach us something… because every horse has a lesson to teach us. Whether it is what we want or what we dont want!

Sometimes the best thing to do…. Is get out of the arena and enjoy the ride!

A look back at the last 60 days with this spotted king!

60 days ago Ricky was unhandled and had been for the past 5 years. He only really knew grass, alfalfa cubes and hay. They bribed him with grain to get a halter on then used squeeze shoot to get him onto a trailer.

The transformation is insane! Ricky went from untrusting, snorty and unsure of everything to a rider on his back!

The physical and health things we have accomplished!
✨Dental
✨ All feet trimmed
✨Sheath cleaned
✨Full bath and hair un dreaded

Training aspect
✨leads
✨Lunges
✨Stands tied
✨Ground drives in a halter
✨Picks up all 4 feet
✨Stands for grooming and bathing
✨Packed a bit
✨Had his first ride
✨Learned the lay down trick

Every milestone hit has been sooo rewarding! In the coming months we plan to get him solid under saddle, trailer loading, practice stalling, continue groundwork and manners, work on the bit, crossties, and get him in with other horses!

We can not wait to see where he goes!

2027 training books are now open!

2027 sounds like it’s a long way away… but we are officially only 4 months from the new year.

If sending your horse to training has been on your 2027 plans, now is the time to get on our schedule.

At Barefoot Farms, we work with horses needing everything from:

🐴 Starting under saddle
🐴 Green horse development
🐴 Confidence building & real-world exposure
🐴 Behavioral/problem-solving work
🐴 Tune-ups & continued education
🐴 Building a safer, more confident partnership between horse and owner

I can only take so many horses at one time while still giving each horse the individual attention and consistency they deserve. Once those spots are spoken for, they’re gone.

If you already know your horse needs training in spring, summer or even later in 2027, you do NOT need to wait until then to reach out.

Get on the schedule now.

60 DAYS. 🖤⚡️

60 days ago, Ricky rolled up… and almost immediately, a storm hit and took out the power. 😂⛈️ a large storm!!

Apparently, that was a sign.

Because in true Clare fashion, I had something to prove to myself, and I decided our first ride needed to happen while another thunderstorm was rolling in. We prepared so hard that neither of us was fazed!

Guess Ricky and I are riding the lightning. ⚡️🐴

And yes ….. the picture is REAL. Not AI. Not edited. Just a horse and a human who were so well prepared that the storm and for an amazing first ride!

There’s a much longer post coming about this guy, because 60 days with him deserves more than a few paragraphs. But for now, a BIG thank you.

Thank you, Ricky, for scratching my feral horse itch. 🖤
Thank you for having an absolutely amazing brain.
Thank you for pushing me.
Thank you for teaching me to slow down when I need to, but push when the moment calls for it.
Thank you for trusting me.

Thank you to the girls at the barn who have hyped me every step of the way and to the girls who love this adventure just as much as I do. You make the hard days better and cheering sooo hard when we hit those big milestones! Thanks for holding the rope and not letting my a** meet grass.

Thank you to everyone supporting us from afar. Every message, cheer, check-in, and bit of encouragement.

And thank you to an owner who believes in my program, believes in this horse, and trusts me to help him become everything he can be. Thank for providing Ricky with everything he needs to succeed!

60 days ago, he rolled up during a storm.

60 days later, we’re apparently riding the lightning. ⚡️

And honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

More to come on this special guy. ❤️
