We have a few openings left for horse training this Summer. C**t starting, advanced training like finish work and cow work and even tune ups to knock the fresh off for Summer!

Little John is a Morgan stud c**t that was brought to us for a bit of a tune up and some finish work. He’s a lot less pushy, more polite and getting softer every day.

We just got the cutest little 2 year old Gypsy Vanner cross in. This is her first ride. Wish we could keep this one!

“Gift” is a 2 year old Morgan. Today we were working on softening her body, working on speed control and not rooting through her stops.

Miss Tinker came to us after another trainer in Axtell sent her back to her owners claiming she broke his saddle. We don’t know the circumstances or what happened in that situation. We would just like to say, please be aware that there is more than one trainer in Axtell when you hear things…
That being said, in our humble opinion, there is not a mean bone in her body. She just doesn’t know how to use her body, and how to go forward. Her bucking is her saying I don’t know what you want from me. We are excited to teach her and see where she is in 30 rides.

We love hearing updates. Todays update was from Miss Nova’s first mountain ride. Makes us so happy to see happy customers with happy horses making lots of memories together ❤️

Third ride for miss Bonita as well. Mason helped redirect her feet and encouraged forward motion. Lots of shadows this time of night.

Gus is a bit on the small side and is young. This is his 3rd ride and Mason wanted to help. It worked out good because it’s easier on Gus’s young joints. As you can see at the beginning of the video they hit a major sticky spot. This spot was critical and would have major influence on his demeanor going forward. He wanted to be the boss. He tried everything from nipping, trying to rake him off on the fence and kicking his foot. The first half is muted only because he called him a not so nice name when he wrecked his knee on the fence 🙈
But they worked through it. Now Gus knows forward motion is the answer and by the end of the ride you can see how polite and responsive he became. Great ride for all involved ❤️☺️

Horses are a lot like children. Each handle school differently. Some had preparation before the first day. Some handle lessons better than others. Some are full of energy and can’t sit still. This mare is a bit stingy and impatient. She’s over-reacts at the smallest thing. Like the class drama Queen 🤣
Here’s hours worth of lessons shortened to a few minutes ☺️

Gus’s first ride! He handled it like a champ

Mason is ready to pass his 6 year old pony on to the next ranching family.
Go all day, huge motor, loves a job. Great in the mountains, in water and on the desert. Not for a beginner but perfect for a ranching family. Please share.

Check out BoWynn Noyes Ashwort's video.

Day one for Miss Blackie too (she doesn’t have a name as of yet 😉)
All new kids start with the basics- ground manners, flag work, learning the ropes. She’s a pretty thing!

Gus’s first day at school. Today’s lesson was about respect and boundaries. This is actually an improvement from the first 10 minutes. He tried to show his dominance by kicking out, striking, biting and running over the top of us. But he soon learned that was not acceptable behavior.

Miss Star got to go home yesterday. She made SO much progress. From a naughty, sassy thing that gave her family a few bad experiences to “a totally different horse” as they said ☺️ Super proud of the change she made and can’t wait to hear all of their positive memories to come!

07/14/2023

Only a couple more rides for these 2 mares. Both are going home this weekend! Mason has been helping his Dad with Star since she will be going home to a family including kids ☺️

06/29/2023

Today was a two for one training lesson. Star got introduced to the panniers and learned she couldn’t outrun them. And Nova learned to be calm during the craziness and how to lead a pack horse. Both did awesome!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hampton family as tough little cowboy Houston fights for his life after a horse accident.
We couldn't be prouder to donate to such a worthy cause. Please check out the Hats off to Houston page for more information on the raffle, benefit dinner and team roping jackpot being held at the Blackhawk arena in Salina on Wednesday July 19. Thank you all so much for your thoughts, prayers and donations to Houston and his family

Miss Star came to us for a little restart. She has a bit of a temper and doesn’t love being told what to do. Would sometimes rear, occasionally buck and not give to pressure.
She’s learning to be polite and follow directions. She is coming along great 😊

06/02/2023

Amen!

Raising them right

Nova’s first day outside of the arena. Babies are growing up! Not just the horse baby but Mason too! Bo pinched a neck/shoulder so Mason said “don’t worry Mom! I’ll record it for you”! ❤️☺️

05/23/2023

Update on Miss Nova. This filly loves to go, go, go! We’ve been working on being able to break her body parts down and control her speed without having to pull on her. She’s a super sweet thing!

05/22/2023

Miss Sue got to go on a field trip last weekend. 2 long days of gathering pairs and another 2 long days of branding calves. She’s come a long way in the time we’ve had her. Super proud of how well she handled it all.

My dang video cut off but Hank got to rope a calf too! Handled it like a champ!
