Sheridan Performance Horses

Many of you will recognize one of our good personal horses that is going to be offered in the Spring Spectacular Horse Sale on May 17th. We are reluctantly letting him go, we just can't keep them all. He is a very good boy and someone is going to be very happy!

Check out his Ad 👀

Clyde is a 4 Yr old 1/4 Draft gelding that lives up to the desirable qualities that draft crosses are known for. He has the mind of a middle aged seasoned horse in a body that will last. He is as gentle and kind as they come, wrapped in flashy pinto color. Clyde is fancy broke in the arena and has been used extensively. Take him when your dragging calves, sorting cattle, roping in the pasture, gathering large, rough country, and then you can come home and lope a nice circle. Nothing bothers him. He has been ridden by children, beginner adults, and hands getting a job done. He will give confidence to a beginner in and out of the arena or be the enjoyable, easy horse anyone needs to get a task done on the ranch. Rides out alone, he’s the same if you let him sit, never taken a lame step, a real easy keeper that requires no maintenance. He is up to date on all his vaccines, deworming, dental care and has a fresh set of shoes. He is ready to go do whatever you ask of him. That born broke horse doesn’t come around often but he truly is. He has been the same good citizen since day one, it is just his nature. Don’t pass up on your next favorite or you child’s new best friend, Clyde is your guy.

Let's see those Babies!
Leave your favorite picture of your future super horse in the comments, and we will have a discussion!

Sometimes to get just the right prospect you have to bite the bullet and raise them or purchase a weanling. Now there is what seems like an eternity to wait for them to be ready to start. What can you do with them in the meantime?

We believe that what you do with them this fall will make a great impact on their basic understandings when we go to start them. It's never too early to start shaping that mind, being a good learner and having patience!

Although weanlings have a very short attention span, can get frustrated and turn reactive easily, they are also very curious. The most important thing to remember is we don't want to sneak around them to get things done. It's important to set yourself up for success in the area you are choosing to work with them. There is a balance between making them feel isolated and scared but also limiting the distractions of other horses being in the pen. If you're choosing to run them in your roundpen or a dry lot to catch them, keep other horses in sight or tie a quiet horse near the fence as a homing beckon to give yourself an advantage. Approach and retreat, scratch and rub them, it is best to make sure they are making the choice to stay and let you catch them rather than sneaking the rope around them and holding on.

Begin teaching them to give to pressure, accept any and all efforts they give in the beginning before you get too picky perfecting a behavior. Any attempts to move their feet in the beginning to respond to pressure on the halter, remotely in the correct direction are good. Make double sure you are repeating all the behaviors with both "lefty" and "righty" to get consistency on both sides. We spend a little extra time even on the right at this stage since many things we do are initiated on the left. It can be very helpful to ask them to move to either side rather than straight forward when you begin halter breaking or if they are sticky and resistant at any stage.

Once they are consistently giving to pressure on the halter, we begin with teaching them to yield their hindquarters, then forequarters and desensitization with the halter rope.

When your baby is tolerating you walking up to them, and consistently giving to pressure on the halter it is a great time to work on tying. In a safe spot with safe equipment, we tie our weanlings up and let them stand keeping an eye on them to hopefully prevent injuries. There are a few great things that come out of this. They get tired fairly quickly, so although they might pitch a fit, it likely will not take too long for them to begin to settle down. Once they have worked through pulling and fussing too much and we are not worried about them getting tangled up with the bucket, we take this opportunity to also provide them a distraction and reward by giving them their grain.

Once they are to this point, it can become a great daily routine they may even look forward to, catch them, tie them up and let them eat, then do a little work on their yielding and desensitization before kicking them loose again.

Don't be discouraged if the process is slow! Taking your time will make this horse a great riding partner down the road.

Our babies are all weaned and settling in for a little boot camp before the snow flies and we could not be happier with how our mares produced this year. With two maiden mares in this crop we are thrilled to have some big, chunky babies at weaning time.

Horses come in every size, shape and color, we carefully breed them, train them, comb the classified looking for the the "good" ones. Ultimately getting that "good one" is something we can search for endlessly and still there is no sure fire way to find that quality in a horse. When we are lucky enough to own one, a horse that is just a "good one", its easy to take them for granted. We had a scare with a real good one today, and thanks to a dedicated vet and nothing short of a miracle it seems we will be able to bring him home standing up in the trailer. Go give your good ones a little extra pet for us, you may never own another with as good a mind and heart ❤️

REYNNCATS N CARATS 2023 AQHA GELDING

Fit and gentle, this yearling is a performance horse prospect deluxe. He may be a cowhorse by breeding but he is a picture of conformation with a bright future in the all-around, he will take all the points in the ranch horse conformation. This c**t is on track physically and mentally, he is sound, sane and sensible. He will make a stellar futurity prospect and go under saddle next year with ease. Up to date on all care, regular trimming, leads, loads and hauls well, stands tied, bathes, clips, lounges on and off the line. He has great basics, paired with his mellow personality he is easy to handle and definitely a barn favorite. He will be well suited for the cutting, cowhorse, reining, ranch versatility, the sky is the limit. His sire has been a local standout in the show pen up to the national level with open and non-pro showmen, Reynn stamps his foals with his superior demeanor. This c**t is bred in the purple, you will not find a better cross outside of the Bloodstock Sale, save yourself a trip south with this special opportunity. The industry greats are stacked on his papers, Metallic Cat, Smart Chic Olena, Reminic, Smart Little Lena, Dual Rey, High Brow Cat, and mare royalty with Playboys Ruby. Playboys Ruby, the 1990s vintage standout from the Rapp Ranch, produced 2 million in offspring earnings, including the Ruby Tuesday, the dam to the late great Hydrive Cat. That means Playboys Ruby is one off the position on this set of papers as you will find on Hydrive Cat's. If that doesn't speak to the quality of this c**t we don't know what will. Not to mention his dam comes from a long line of NRHA earners and is by Smart Chic Olena himself, explaining his beautiful, refined movements.

REYNNCATS N CARATS - "Wally" has the royal pedigree, with the looks, mind and ability to match. You absolutely cannot go wrong investing in this kind of quality. He is priced in the mid xx,###, please don't hesitate to ask for any additional information. Link to current videos will be provided.
