Hello again from your friends at Brindabella Farms! We hope that this rainy Spring weather finds you glad to be rid of the ice of Winter and ready to greet the fresh blooms of the new season. Still, we must always keep in mind that every season has its place in nature and the order of things. All too often we get in a rush--we get tired of waiting, say, for the rainy season to end and warm summer days to begin. We want nice weather NOW; the good without the bad. This is true in all aspects of life--even when it comes to horsemanship. Rushing through things doesn't allow us to enjoy life as it happens to us, and we find ourselves constantly living in the elusive (and often fictional) future.
Sometimes we need to step back, evaluate our goals and our progress, and proceed from there. If we aren't having fun, perhaps it's time to change our priorities. After all, the journey is the most important part. In a new archives article, Shanna Nelson and Chardy Shealy explain how to have a healthier mindset when it comes to riding, a sport that should be about relaxing in the great outdoors with a happy equine partner....but all too often revolves only around the mindless and relentless pursuit of hollow competition.

Featured Horse: BBF LIBRETTA LIGHT
BBF Libretta Light is an impressive mare. Her sire is a registered Appaloosa from respected lines and her dam is an Appaloosa/Percheron cross. Bretta is registered as an Appaloosa Sport Horse, and she got the best of both worlds--the loud leopard coloration combined with the sturdy structure and steadfast disposition. She is five years old and stands about 15.2+ hands. Bretta was started under saddle last summer and she is coming along extremely well. She is a fast learner and picks up new concepts quickly. She walks, trots, canters on the correct lead, stops, backs, and turns--all responsively. She is not very spooky and has never thrown a bucking fit or offered to rear. Bretta is energetic, but she listens to her rider for cues. The more she is ridden, the 
better she will be. She would make a good "working" type horse with her thick build and clean legs. Her coloration will get you noticed out on the trail or in a drill team. She would also make a good driving prospect and might be suitable for dressage given her pedigree. Bretta has been introduced to some trail and pasture riding, and has done quite well. She still has a long way to go, but she is one of the fastest learners I have ever had the pleasure of riding--very easy to train. She has never done anything dangerous and shows no signs of doing so in the future. While she is still green, she is responsive and gentle enough that most anyone could ride her now, as-is. Bretta will make someone an excellent riding partner. Her price is $2000. Please email Shanna with any questions.
