At belleamefarm Jennifer Edwards insists her riders catch, groom, tack, untack, and put their horses away themselves, because it’s educational for them. As she says, most barns don’t have time to stand around while kids “do it wrong,” but that patience is non-negotiable. The riders who learn to notice small changes in the aisle become the riders who make better decisions in the saddle. #Horsemanship #EquestrianLife #HunterJumper #Equitation #HorseTraining #BarnLife #PonyClub #RiderDevelopment #HorseWelfare #ThePlaidHorse #ThePlaidcast #YoungRiders #EquestrianEducation #HorseGirls #LifeLessons
