How to train a Four Star Horse


This summer Point Above Farm was fortunate enough to employ "Young Kyle" Bonnie's 17 year old nephew aka A Man with Serious Skills. Kyle roadtripped to Point Above Farm all the way from Arizona. We kinda thought he was crazy but it didn't take us long to start trying to convince him to move to Virginia permanently! Kyle quickly became the go to man for every task on the farm, from painting our jumps to tacking up our horses, mucking the trailers, cleaning the tack and finally, on the very last day, training Merloch. Kyle was probably one of the best working students we've ever had and he's only ridden a horse twice. You can view this ride here:
