Had a great ride using the garrocha (pole). This was the first time I rode him one handed. He seemed to really enjoy learning something new AND I was able to get some photos of our experience! Enjoy.
Feel free to check out my Competitor Facebook Page or the Ahrens Horsemanship page to see more photos and what other horses I am training.
I also wanted to thank my personal sponsors Equis Feeds, Team Equine Saddle Pads and RES Sport Boots.

Amanda Stygar is part of the Ahrens Horsemanship team, located out of Washington state. They started their training program by being the last stop for many hard case horses. They are still known for training problem horses, but that's not all, they continue to put solid foundations on horses to compete in many disciplines. For instance they have horses competing in dressage, trail, western pleasure, driving, working cow events and mounted shooting. Amanda works to advance her horsemanship skills every time she interacts with a horse. She is very capable of relating to horses and humans which gives her students a sense of ease and understanding. Amanda trains, is a horsemanship coach and is a clinician with her husband Shelby Ahrens. She considers herself a role model to anyone that wants to achieve the goals and dreams the have in life. The most important thing Amanda expresses is to have fun and never give up on your dreams.
