Pierced Arrow Lesson Program

✈️And we’re off!✈️
Tomorrow officially, but no lessons today while I pack and prepare the barn! I’ll be out of town from 10/30 until 11/5! There are no lessons this week, but we’ll return to our normal schedule once we return!

Once we get back we’ll be reviewing our schedule and possibly opening some time up to welcome some new kids to the program!

Hey guys! I know I’ve been a little quiet here, it’s hard to remember to take pictures while I’m teaching lessons 😅 with school starting up and my full time job needing me for more hours, lessons are a little slow at the moment!

One constant rider has been Nevaeh, who does phenomenal with Nelly! Her confidence has blossomed and we are working up from a walk to trotting. With the smoke clearing we went for a walk on the trail on property to end out most recent lesson!

If you’re interested in lessons please reach out as I have limited availability!

“When is it too hot to ride?”

This is a question I got a lot last week looking into the heatwave of this week! I rescheduled my lessons for this week to another time to avoid this excessive heat, but here is the answer to the above question!

The high for today is 90 degrees with a 58% humidity, following down below how to find the heat index that brings us to 148 which is right at that “Don’t Ride” line!

This week the horses are getting turned out after the sun goes down and getting cold, fresh water and cool treats in the barn throughout the day to help them stay cool! Hope everyone enjoys what they can in the heat and stays safe!

As my students have already found out, after every lesson I ask that they do these stretches with the horse! These are good pre or post ride! Our horses are athletes, just like us riders. And just like it is important for us to stretch before or after stenosis activity, horses need it too! Here’s just a few you can try at home with your own horse or after a lesson!
