TRAINING, RAISING, AND SELLING HORSES AND MULES

We base our training on trust, respect, and a lot of outside miles. We run a few cows and steers to train our c**ts on and make better horses with getting them exposed to as much as possible.
​We have two stallions and a small band of mares. We will have a limited number of foals available this year. We try to keep most of our foals to ride and sel

l later as started prospects or finished horses. Our training methods are greatly influenced by the great Ray Hunt, Tom Dorrance and Les Vogt methods. Because no horse or mule is alike, we train according to the individual and using methods that work with the individual animal. We are getting into the mind and personality of that animal. Every horse and mule is schooled with a lot of miles under their feet in their first thirty days of riding. Of course since every equine is an individual, some are ridden the first day and some need more prepping and there's a few that require extra special handling in the round pen phase. It’s really up to the horse or mule and if they are ready. Our training takes them from the round pen to the arena and then outside for everyday experiences. We like to get them out as soon as possible and start getting the miles under their feet, getting them out and seeing some country, getting them to learn to handle themselves out in the water, mud, rocks, hilly terrain etc. We incorporate ranching aspects as they are ready for it. Ranching aspects include neck reining, side-passing, opening gates, checking cattle and fence. We do keep steers at the ranch headquarters and they are worked around them, tracking and getting ridden among them and sometimes roping off of them, when they are ready. Our ground work always includes them being sacked out with tarps and ropes. This can greatly benefit a young horse that may become tangled in wire. If we feel the horse or mule is dangerous or otherwise not going to suit your needs, we will advise you within 2-3 weeks and allow or ask you to come and retrieve the animal from our care. Check out the website www.tiptophorsemanship.com to see our stallions and mares and other horses we have available.

The Chateau De Mores State Historic Site is where we did stagecoach rides all summer and will be doing the same thing next summer. They are hosting a gingerbread diorama contest. Angela did the stagecoach and 4 up team diorama with the help of Becca. The stagecoach is made of gingerbread with toothpicks in the inside for added support. The harnesses on the Stablemate Breyer horses are made of icing and the tugs/traces are actually twisty ties. The collars are a twisty tie base with icing applied on the top. The neck yokes and eveners are made of tooth picks as well. The stagecoach tongue is made of gingerbread. The driver was sculpted of gingerbread and trimmed out in icing. The reins are thread. The snow is all icing and powdered sugar. Of course the cottage (stage stop cabin. 🤪) is all gingerbread and icing with candy accents. The diorama is approximately 1:32 scale.

All of the dioramas are great though, so go ahead and vote on your favorite!! A like 🟰 a vote. 🗳️

Beauty
2006 - 18 Year Old Black Percheron/Morgan Cross (Draft Cross) Mare bred for 2025 to a 11.3 hand Shetland/Welsh Stud.
15.1 hands

Beauty is broke to drive. She used to pull the stagecoach in Jamestown, ND at the Frontier Village to give rides for several years before her partner died. We got her a couple years after that. She is a very sweet mannered mare with no vices, she is easy to catch and be around. She stands quietly at the hitching post with no pawing or acting dumb. We have never ridden her, so can’t say if she is broke to ride but of course someone could always see if she is. We bred her in 2021 and got a really nice black filly in 2022. We bred her this year to our 11.3 hand sorrel Shetland/Welsh stud. We were looking forward to that c**t but due to some unfortunate circumstances, we are needing to offer her. Pictures of the stallion she is bred to at the bottom of the pictures. She would be due end of May.

Located near Amidon, ND
Can help find a hauler if needed

Sometimes we spend hours getting horses prepped and ready for their pictures for offering them out whether for consigning of straight out, bring out the expensive camera, then spend what seems like forever getting them to stand just right and once that’s accomplished, it can be a battle just getting them to prick up for that picture that perfectly represents them. Then later, a casual cell phone picture of them loose with no one working them to get them set up right ends up being the best picture that represents the said horse.

**Pic for tax and representation of a good cellphone pic that perfectly represents the horse. 😂
