THE RANCHMANS METHOD

Smokey was backed in August during our three day clinic. Where we demonstrated a step by step starting of two untouched horses the ranch way. Round pen work focusing on timing, feel, pressure and release to the first saddling and first ride.

Smokey took it all in her stride and earned herself a little holiday after her big debut.
Her holiday has came to an end and she came back in to work like she never stopped.
This is going to be one calm steady horse
