Horses That Work "If you want a calm horse, stay calm, if you want a patient horse, be patient." Horses That Work specializes in putting a quiet start on young or old horses.

While starting horses under saddle we use a quiet but firm method of c**t starting. We also can help you if you have a horse that could use a quieter mind set or a horse that just needs that little but of finishing in certain areas.

Normally when people ask (and happens often) what supplements I run, I say none. Well over the past week that’s definitely been proven wrong! I can’t believe how well this new supplement has helped Drifter as well as myself!!! SLIDE Joint Care has reduced my joint stiffness and pain by at least over %30 now as well as I’ve had drifter on it for the past week and after driving 8 hours a day the past three days, he’s been riding the smoothest and less stiff than he has ever felt. He never felt like a stiff horse prior, but I can definitely feel that he’s less stiff now as well as just easier moving out! It’s great to find something that actually targets joint care in our working and performance horses that actually works and we can see and feel a difference in! I’ll be carrying it along on the road to all my clinics from now on as well but keep an eye out for it at feed stores too!
Why inject, when they can just digest! And it’s natural too

“Timing and feel. It’s a life long deal.” - Trevor Mertes

Trevor often says this at his clinics, and it’s one of the most important things to remember as a horseman. The horses will learn until they pass away, and so will we, when we allow ourselves to.

We can always learn a new approach, or way to help the horse through what they’re going through, by doing less in order to achieve more.

Had a great time at the Chilliwack fair putting on the extreme cowboy races for them this past weekend!
Brought drifter along for part of his get into shape program before worlds and entered one of the 3 man ranch sortings the fair was putting on. Ended up drawing a good team and we pulled off a win! All the teams there were great and fun to ride with and try our hand at something different.

Extreme Cowboy Clinic!
FALKLAND, BC - August 23, 24, 25

This is a family friendly clinic the weekend prior to Armstrong fair and is always one of the best! There’s both levels available for all 3 days. This type of clinic is a great way to improve your horsemanship through obstacles, in a fun environment!

LEVEL 1 - is anyone who hasn’t taken a clinic prior with myself and is a great spot for beginners, green horses, new comers to the sport and all levels of riding. We start on the ground with a series of exercises to help build the trust and connection with your horse. We then build that into how we ride to have a clear connection with trust while riding. From there we use the trust and connection that we’ve built to work through new obstacles that relate to all aspects of riding. Whether it be dark corners in an arena, creek crossings, new banners being hung at a show, or in an obstacle sport itself. (Most people choose to stay in level 1 for around 3 clinics because it’s so much fun)

LEVEL 2 - This is for people who have participated in at least one level 1 clinic prior. Here we’ll work on piecing together an advanced level of horsemanship through combining a few obstacles, while working deeper at moving their feet when and where we want to get to their mind and build an ultimate connection. This level is for those wanting to advance themselves in any sport, as well as those that want to compete, or already are competing, in Extreme Cowboy competitions.

Price is $350 per rider.
Of that $150 is a non refundable deposit if not enough notice is given to fill the spot. The full amount is required 20 days prior and the same rule applies to the above of your place can not be filled.

Level 2 runs 9am - 12pm
Level 1 runs 1 pm - 4pm

PM for any questions, currently half full at the moment.

Total of 12 riders between the two sessions.

Over night pens available at $15 per horse per night.
