We can’t believe this gentle soul is available, but the last deal fell through unfortunately.

A Lil Dirt Road Inem, “Dally” is as honest and kind as they come, 2016 model gelding, standing approximately 15/15.1hands. The same today or 3 months from now, a handy fellow to have on hand for any task you need.
Has won money in the cow horse, check fences, move cattle, a quiet trail ride, or work the flag. Big enough to rope the big bulls on, and quiet enough for the kids to ride around.

Don’t miss this excellent using gelding, he will earn his keep. And, he has that splash of colour to look good doing it all.

If you have a horse struggling with the smoke we are currently experiencing, check out Roan & Co.’s Breeze Up option. It’s a great addition to your feeding program that will benefit your horse’s well being.
Check out the website for all of the great products offered, your horse will thank you!!

The smoke is here 😭 🌲 🔥 💨

Roan & Co. has you covered with a number of different options!

We recommend you start with “Breeze Up” as your daily maintenance and if your horse is already on it be sure to up the dose to 1 cup during smoky days.

“Breeze Up” has anti-inflammatory properties, anti-microbial, moistens tissues, can clear damp heat, enhances tissue repair/cell viability, improves integrity of blood vessel walls and reduces swelling. It has been shown to loosen phlegm, relieves irritation and has natural antibiotic properties. In addition most of the “Breeze Up” ingredients have expectorant properties to get 💩 out of the lungs.

And it’s super affordable!

If you have an allergy horse or are continuing to compete in the haze make sure you are adding “Warrior Bomb” to your routine. “Warrior Bomb” is our allergy blend for horses suffering from sinus issues, runny nose and eyes, skin issues and allergy related respiratory problems. It has natural antioxidants and anti inflammatory properties - and focusing on getting the inflammation out is crucial!!

IF your horse is still struggling, you just really want to get ahead of any symptoms or if the smoke is bringing out worse symptoms - example you have a bleed, discharge or a cough - reach for our “Immune Bomb”

This 14 day treatment can work to boost the strength of the lungs post bleed, during asthmatic episodes or chronic coughing. It’s antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory - which helps soften the throat and airway, has antioxidant and antihistamine controlling properties and can help soothe respiratory irritation.

It can help to improve and support the immune system, clears nasal congestion, helps loosen mucus deep into the lungs, has strong antiseptic properties to help fight bacterial infections and facilitate easier breathing.

So there’s lots of options depending on your horses reaction to this smoke - and as always if you have any questions be sure to reach out!

Give us a call about this great gelding!
The kind we all need to have around to get anything done when we need em.

06/20/2024

We are thrilled to welcome Roan & Co. as part of the CSPH crew that keeps us and most importantly, our horses performing at their best.

After having tried a few of our own personal horses on the products, and seeing the fantastic results, we had to switch the whole barn.

A few of our favorites include Leg Up T.O and Gut Bomb!

Check out their website, www.roanandco.com to shop their complete list of products.

Their new product, Warrior Bomb, is going to be a staple in our barn while we are on the road this summer for all of those ever changing conditions!

06/20/2024

Is there truer words??

06/19/2024

The summer run is fast upon us and we are so fortunate to have these amazing horses and clients apart of our barn in 2024.

We wish everyone the best of luck and safe travels this summer!!

We are super excited with this guys performance in Ponoka last weekend at the Bar TT Cowhorses Wild Rose Derby hosted by Alberta Stock Horse Association!
Blindfolded, owned by Sheila Mowat, and shown by Clint Swales earned themselves the Open Derby Championship! We are awfully proud of this young stallion and his consistency amongst the great talent shown, splitting the win in the reined work, second in the herd work, and high score in the fence work.
To add to the excitement, he will also be heading to Calgary Stampede in the Open Hackamore after earning his qualification this weekend as well!
Thank you for trusting us with your great horse Sheila!!

Thank you to our sponsors for their support of our program as well!

We are thrilled with Blindfolded’s performance this past weekend in Claresholm at the WCAS Alberta Reined Cow Horse Association show!

Along with this run in the herd work, he was a 149 in the Open Hackamore to earn a W there as well.

We are grateful to owner Sheila Mowat for trusting us with this great horse, as well as the committee for hosting another great event to show these horses! Krystal MeadeClaresholm Agriplex

We have a very nice all around gelding available for sale.
A Lil Dirt Road Inem is a big, strong, well broke 2016 model gelding who can do it all. He has won money in the Open Bridle at the ARCHA shows, ride out and check fence or cows, would make an excellent ranch versatility mount, or big enough to get through a days work on the ranch.
“Dally” is easy going, kind and broke. Good to haul, shoe and have around day to day.
Priced mid $xx,###
Offers will be entertained within reason, please contact us for more information.

Everyone should read this, we can all take something from it. If you don’t feel it applies to you, then you need to read it again more than anyone…

Things your riding instructor wants you to know:
1. This sport is hard. You don't get to bypass the hard…..every good rider has gone through it. You make progress, then you don't, and then you make progress again. Your riding instructor can coach you through it, but they cannot make it easy.

2. You're going to ride horses you don't want to ride. If you're teachable, you will learn from every horse you ride. Each horse in the barn can teach you if you let them. IF YOU LET THEM. Which leads me to…

3. You MUST be teachable to succeed in this sport. You must be teachable to succeed at anything, but that is another conversation. Being teachable often means going back to basics time and time and time again. If you find basics boring, then your not looking at them as an opportunity to learn. Which brings me to…..

4. This sport is a COMMITMENT. Read that, then read it again. Every sport is a commitment, but in this sport your teammate weighs 1200 lbs and speaks a different language. Good riders don't get good by riding every once in awhile….they improve because they make riding a priority and give themsevles opportunity to practice.

5. EVERY RIDE IS AN OPPORTUNITY. Even the walk ones. Even the hard ones. Every. Single. Ride. Remember when you just wished someone would lead you around on a horse? Find the happiness in just being able to RIDE. If you make every ride about what your AREN'T doing, you take the fun out of the experience for yourself, your horse, and your instructor. Just enjoy the process. Which brings me to...

6. Riding should be fun. It is work. and work isn't always fun.....but if you (or your rider) are consistently choosing other activities or find yourself not looking forward to lessons, it's time to take a break. The horses already know you don't want to be here, and you set yourself up for failure if you are already dreading the lesson before you get here.

7. You'll learn more about horses from the ground than you ever will while riding. That's why ground lessons are important, too. If you're skipping ground lessons (or the part of your lesson that takes place on the ground), you're missing out on the most important parts of the lesson. You spend far more time on the ground with horses than you do in the saddle.

8. Ask questions and communicate. If you're wondering why your coach is having you ride a particular horse or do an exercise, ask them. Then listen to their answer and refer to #3 above.

9. We are human beings. We make decisions (some of them life and death ones) every day. We balance learning for students with workloads for horses and carry the bulk of this business on our shoulders. A little courtesy goes a long way.

Of all the sports your child will try through their school years, riding is one of 3 that they may continue regularly as adults (golf and skiing are the others). People who coach riding spend the better part of their free time and much of their disposable income trying to improve their own riding and caring for the horses who help teach your child. They love this sport and teaching others…..but they all have their limits. Not all good riders are good coaches, but all good coaches will tell you that the process to get good is not an easy one.

*thank you to whoever wrote this! Not my words, but certainly a shared sentiment!

📣 Shoutout to these 3 bad ass teams on their success this weekend 📣 at the Alberta Stock Horse Association Calgary Stampede Qualifier‼️

🔥 Krystal Meade & Ferns Whoz smoked a run yesterday, marking a 74.5 in her reined work and a 75 on her cow to earn the top day money in the Non Pro Boxing!
She followed it up with a 144.5 today, to bring home another cheque in day money.

🔷 Jennifer Dovell & Celios Hope had a big day yesterday, earning themselves a second place finish in the NRCHA class, and top honours in the ASHA class. They also followed that up with yet another great run today!

♦️Jonathon Morrison and SLR Won Smart Wolfe had a great run today in the Non Pro Bridle, marking a 146.5 today!

Awfully proud of these dedicated teams! Well done crew!

After a day of turnout in the rain, the AJ Equine Supply blankets are still not absorbing any moisture! With the ever changing weather patterns, we assure you, you won’t find a better blanket line for your horse this year.
When quality matters, you can rely on AJ!!

05/09/2024

It’s a great thing to see horses we have had in the program go on and be successful in other disciplines.
One of our favourites has a new career and is proving to be successful in many arenas.
Futurity Champion Hold Onto Ur Shorts, bred and owned by 7P Ranch Horses, hit the Team Roping Futurity scene this spring. Congratulations to Kasper and the Thomson family on “Chewy’s” success!

05/07/2024

We can say confidently that you won’t find a better blanket to stand up for every day wear & tear or professionally at the events in town. By far our favourite blanket line.
When you want to spend your money wisely, just buy AJ Equine Supply, because you will have it for seasons to come.
