Meet StuartStuart is a just-3-year-old Atwood gelding that Marc will be bringing along. Stuart is a quick learner and loves puzzles and doing new things.
He’s already been on trail rides and especially likes it when he gets to be in charge of the mares that he ponies along. Thanks to the foundation he got at the Atwood Ranch, Stu is the easiest horse Marc has ever started. Little Mary (on the right above) is getting used to having a youngster around. Stay tuned for their new adventures. |
A Tip From MarcWhen should you get off your horse? The first time it crosses your mind!
We’ve all picked ourselves off the ground thinking “I knew I should have gotten off.”! And yet we stayed in the saddle (for a little while), hit the ground, hurt ourselves and probably lost a fair amount of confidence. If you feel afraid (or uncomfortable) about a situation, get off. When your horse loses confidence and gets panicky, get off. That’s when he needs your leadership the most, and if you are unsure or afraid, you’ve created a formula for disaster. |
