  • Tammy Yost-Wildin of the Heart T Ranch Near Billings MT
    Hi PBEA members In the past I have enjoyed clinics that Teresa and Jamie have arranged. I especially enjoyed the regular clinics that Michael Larsen came down and gave. It was really my start in riding dressage. It was very helpful having the clinic on a regular basis where Michael got to know me and my horse and we had homework we could practice on until the next time he was down. Recently Desiree and I have been riding with Tammy Yost-Wildin of the Heart T Ranch near Billings MT. We have had a lot of fun riding with Tammy and really made some progress including going to Championships last year and placing our first year!!! It has been wonderful to be back in a consistent program. I recently had the opportunity to ride a lesson with Robyn Fisher who was the judge at the horse trials and is very good. The lesson was right on track with what I have been working on with Tammy. I have continually been impressed with Tammy’s horsemanship skills. Tammy has agreed to put on a clinic in Gillette on Aug 9 & 10. This first clinic Tammy would like to concentrate on flat lessons. She likes to have a real feel for the horse/rider combos before they jump. Most of the issues people have can be fixed with dressage. In future clinics, jumping lessons would be available for previous participants. The cost would be $75 per lesson and Auditing would be free for PBEA members. We need to know by July 29 if we have enough lessons for Tammy to come down.

  • To BIT Or Not to BIT That Is the Question… Why We Went Bitless Pam Allen-Leblanc, Agr., MBA, Hidden Brook Farm
    To BIT or not to BIT that is the question… why we went bitless Pam Allen-LeBlanc, Agr., MBA, Hidden Brook Farm I learned to ride with a bit. When I instructed Pony Club, I taught people to put three wrinkles in the horses‟ mouth to adjust the bit properly. It never occurred to me to question this logic or to go against centuries – even millennia of horsemanship principles that seemed to work. I tried to keep my hands light and thought that was sufficient to provide comfort to my horse. Then Kevin Crane made me see that the wrinkles were not necessary – that a horse can hold the bit in their mouths. My husband and I tried just with fingers in our mouths to simulate 3 wrinkles – and no wrinkles. It was definitely easier to feel a light touch when the bit was loose – so we took out the wrinkles. And my horses liked it better. But we talked about it, and realized that although it was more comfortable with no pressure, it certainly was not comfortable to have even fingers – much less metal in our mouths – and we started to wonder… I had long since started keeping my horses naturally. They go in and out as they please and their health and happiness improved dramatically when I let go of the accepted convention of keeping my horses in a barn. I stopped shoeing my horses long ago. Barefoot just seemed healthier and more natural to me, even though I had not yet studied the structure of the hoof or perfected my trimming techniques as I later would.
