From Trainer Arryanna Schnetzer :
Today was another amazing day with Dove! I worked on the ground with the saddle on, teaching her ground manners as well as getting her used to movement from saddle. Dove is doing great with pressure on the saddle at the "hugging station"! She is also doing a lot better with haltering! Dove has truly shown that she is a sweetheart and even though she is very anxious, she is still curious.
I did not get a recording of her hoof picking or saddling as my phone was not cooperating. The rest of the video was done with my dad's phone. I do apologize for the lost footage.
I am excited to see Dove's progress through the summer! She will be available at the Showdown in August! I am also still looking for sponsors for Dove. Again, the money raised goes straight to helping with Dove's care, training aids, and a surprise I will announce the closer we get to the Showdown! Venmo: @Arryanna_Schn
Dove will be available for adoption at the Dakota Showdown Finale on August 23, 2026 in Lennox, South Dakota. Check out http://dakotashowdown.com for more info.
