Working students at Windchase farm dove head first into 2019! Annually on New Year’s Day, these guys take the icy plunge. This moment is my favorite — they’re just inches from hitting the water and the inevitable chill that follows. Swim on, 2019!

#LÆ Training Tip: Teaching a young or green horse to lunge and don’t have access to a round pen? Find a fenced corner of your arena or pasture and place three jumps as the border where there isn’t fencing in order to create a positive learning environment for your horse! Lunging is a great way to teach your horse to stretch, self-carriage and eventually begin collection so it’s never too soon to start! Here’s 3 yo Flynn demonstrating his first attempt in lunging!
