Flying A Performance Horses

05/15/2024

After spending a couple years trying my hand at boarding horses, I found it wasn’t for me and I was unable to focus on producing versatile performance horses.

So, I made a big change and we’re getting back to our roots to where it all started.

My dad Jay Dee Akins founded Flying A Performance horses officially in 2000. Although he trained and made high caliber rope and ranch horses since he was a teenager.

It became pretty apparent as I grew older that I was going to follow in my dad’s footsteps. My dad helped me make exceptional horses all through my juinor and high school rodeo days which carried into my adult years.

The horses that come through my program and are well rounded by the time and have seen miles before they make it to the roping or barrel pen. Which I believe is a huge advantage to the career and success of any horse.

I have been very fortunate to learn from some of the best horsemen in Canada, USA and Europe.

I offer training, lessons and sales.

Please contact me for any more information.

Thanks for your time.

As we hunker down for winter. I am reminded how blessed we truly are. We’ve created such a great community of people and they’re horses here at MTE. Thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with us and trusting myself and my team with your horses.

Did you know……

Spreading hay out on the ground mimics a grazing effect and is a much healthier option than a round bale placed in a feeder or in a net?
Round bales have plenty of hay dust and debris within them and it’s not super good for our horses respiratory system to have they’re heads sunk into a round bale 24/7.
Since boarding horses, I have seen so many horses with asthma mostly due to this reason. If your lacking good grazing conditions, give this a try. It’s a little more work but well worth it.

We are already supplementing and provided extra forage. Did you know that the extra feed and supplements are included in your board rate? Every horse is different and we do our best to accommodate and make sure they all get what they’re body requires!

Cold weather often brings unwanted weight loss in hard-keeping horses. Two experts offer advice on preventing this as we prepare for temperatures to drop.

We sure have some cute little helpers here at Medicine Tree. Trish, Pete and they’re little grandkids going to pick they’re pen! ❤️🤎
