THIS CHICS ROYAL
Well bred 2020 Filly by PASS EM UP ROYAL x CHEYENITA a solid mix of running and cow. PASS EM UP ROYAL is 31.25% DASH FOR CASH bred with proven running lines. CHEYENITA is by CHICS IN THE MALE who is by the great SMART CHIC OLENA.

We have other offspring from this cross and all are proving to be athletic, strong and trainable.
Sire and dam on site at Poplar Ridge Ranch for viewing.

Mercedes was bred and born here and was going to be my keeper, due to no fault of her own she is offered for your consideration. Too many projects not enough time.

Big, bold and beautiful, this mare will get you where you need to go and look good doing it too.
She needs to get out and be someone’s #1 and be brought to her full potential.
Bred for versatility and will excel in barrels, roping, cowboy challenge, ranch versatility, cowhorse. Quiet and sensible, not a dead head, has some fire in her.

Lightly started with roughly 12 rides. Started on the basic maneuvers- lateral flexion, turn on the forehand, turn on the haunch, side pass, soft stop and back up, rollbacks, walk trot and lope in and out of the arena.
Ridden in a halter and bosal only.
She is Sensitive to touch on ears/poll after pulling back while tied. Has had body work/chiro done and red light therapy. Is improving and after some consistent time, should improve drastically.

She goes over obstacles and has been ridden out on the trails, navigating hills, logs and brush
Packs a tarp, good with ropes, stands for farrier, bathes, loads and hauls.

Baby spam!
2 foals decided it was a perfect night to make their arrival.
First was this lovely filly, owned by Tara Burdock. She’s by our stallion Sun Of Texas and out of Tara’s mare Smart River Playgirl.
Not long after came this big c**t out of Cheyenita and by Pass Em Up Royal. I was lucky enough to be there for the whole birth! 😊
And the whole time the grey c**t out of Macs Calla B x Pass Em Up Royal was intently watching and wanted so badly to come for a closer look. He hung out next to us the whole time.
All foals are FS, message if interested.

It’s coming up on a year that Lorenn Pozobut has been working here at the Ranch. I am so grateful for all her help and am looking forward to another great year of memories!
Lorenn achieved her Equine Science Diploma at Olds College and has had a passion for horses since she was a child, whether riding around the field at home, jumping, showing or riding cutting horses.
Lorenn has been doing a wonderful job working c**ts and managing the ranch with me and I’m really looking forward to the season and its endeavors. What a wonderful human to have adventures with!

I’ll help them with any particular goals, whether they’re competitive or recreational riders.
We will build on their horsemanship both under saddle and on the ground, in the arena and out on the trail. They can enjoy some mounted games, work in the obstacle course and get plenty of hands on learning about tack, anatomy, safety practices and more. These days are always a blast!

This clinic will be in depth and will cover a lot of content to help you develop your young or green broke horse.
It will be set up over two weekends; the first being Saturday and Sunday back to back. You will leave here with everything you have learned and ‘homework’ to do before the 2nd follow up date. You will have access to a private Facebook group for our Wild n’ Wooly clinic members where you can post your videos for updates, ask questions and I will share videos and help with everyone’s progress. Then on the 21st we meet again in person to build onto what you’ve done, work through any challenges you came across and set you up to leave with more confidence in your capabilities as horsemen. Your horse will have a good start and foundation to rely on and will be set up for whatever plans you have for the season.

What age and type of horses will this be good for?
Yearlings, 2 & 3yr olds, older horses that are green and needing to progress or have some holes in their training to fill, c**ts that will need to be started under saddle, c**ts that are already under saddle, horses that you want to ride, horses that you aren’t ready to ride.. etc

What age and type of human will this be good for?
14yrs old and up, confident beginners/intermediate looking to learn more about horsemanship, experienced people looking to possibly add some new tools to their belt, anyone who wants to learn about practical, proper, functional ground work to set your horse up to ride and be a behaved member of society, people looking to start their c**t under saddle and put their first rides on (there will be a screened application for this portion)

Please contact Jaquelene See at 1-780-728-6664 for more info and to book

I’m Alberta bound!

I had an amazing time at Jim Greendyk Performance Horses in Scottsdale. I learned a lot and got to ride some amazing horses and progress my own mares Rey and Chiclet.
Everyone was so helpful and willing to pass on any knowledge they could, about business, horse care, training, showing and more. I definitely asked a lot of questions! haha I met quite a few really great people and am in awe at how many major trainers, breeding programs and big influencers in the industry are out there.
I stayed and worked and learned with Jim for a couple weeks as well as attended Jim’s Power Clinic. I love the format that he has built for his course, with plenty of time for theory, questions and of course riding. The use of his videos and thorough description of what is expected out of the rider and horse prior to heading out to the arena to work on that exercise was very helpful. This makes his course suitable for anyone with the desire to learn and grow and it is tailored to suit the riders level and needs. I’m looking forward to more adventures this year!

More pics coming soon!

Well I’d say it’s about time I catch up on some pictures! This is where I’ve been all week!

I came to Jim Greendyk Performance Horses in Scottsdale Arizona to learn and progress. Already this week (despite the crazy downpours and cold weather..yes, i said cold) I have had the opportunity to learn and ride on some great horses and pick up so many tips from both Jim and his sister Emily. I’m looking forward to the next couple weeks!
I’m so grateful for their hospitality and how inviting the whole family is. I’ve met some nice people here as well and it’s amazing how many big influencers in the industry live right here.
We finally had a couple days of nice sun and that feels real good. It’s beautiful here and riding out in the desert is such a change; great landscape for training too. I have also learned that their trees/shrubs are definitely not as friendly as our Canadian ones! 😆

(Check the comments for some videos, I can’t share them along with photos at the same time for some reason 🤔)

We overnighted the horses at a nice little place in Saratoga Springs that was right in the middle of the city. Apparently it used to be pretty quiet and then everything started to be built around it. The mares let me know we had some neighbours in the next stall.. three little piggies!
