It's that time of year again! We have a couple of slots left in our annual Spring Tune-Up Clinic!

One of our most popular clinics, this event is a great way to get the winter rust off our horses and refocus them mentally for the upcoming season. Our horses often have excess energy and little focus when they have not had consistent work over the winter. Clint balances groundwork (in the mornin

Gus is still looking for the perfect family to go home with. He is a 19-year-old registered Quarter Horse gelding. A big, strong, flea bit gray, Gus is very friendly and honest. He moves out very willingly but needs to be a light use horse due to an old bowed tendon on the right front suspensory. He is good for easy trails but should avoid steep terrain. Regular exercise improves his movement, as long as it’s not too hard. A confident, intermediate youth, or a senior rider with skills but less physical stamina might be good matches. We are screening potential buyers to find a good fit. Contact us for more information.

"Josie" is an 11 year old AQHA bay roan mare. We have owned her for close to 8 years. She is pretty, strong, athletic, and has been exposed to many things. She is easy to catch, trim/shoe, saddle, bridle, bathe, load/haul. She has been trained with a blend of vaquero horsemanship and natural horsemanship. She has been brought through the traditional bridle horse method and rides well in nearly anything. Josie has a strong work ethic and is a light, sensitive, horse. Because of these things she needs an experienced, balanced, rider with light hands and a calm temperament. Check out our website for more information.

Are you signed up for our newsletter? Here is the latest one - where you can also sign up to receive them directly!

Hello !We hope that this beautiful sunny weather is getting you outside as it is us!

All natural, grass-fed (actual*) ground beef is back - just in time for Labor Day!

Our grass-fed beef is all natural - meaning no antibiotics or hormones - and all of our animals are humanely raised and handled.

10 # boxes of ground beef: $4.50/lb

20 # boxes of ground beef: $4.25/lb

40 # boxes of ground beef: $4.00/lb

*If you need a bigger push, here's what we discovered just a few months ago: As of February of this year, the USDA is now allowing the product that has been called "Pink Slime" (also known as "lean finely textured beef") to be labeled as "ground beef" in your supermarket! (You may recall that this product is actually beef trimmings that have been heated and run through a centrifuge to separate the meat trimmings from the fat - the meat residue that is left is treated with ammonia to prevent the growth of bacteria - and now it is sold to you as "ground beef." )

We, on the other hand, can guarantee you that our ground beef is actually....ground beef.

Give us a call if you want to keep your Labor Day burgers ammonia-free!

Every month into the fall, join us for a twice a month foundation class. This class will be somewhat informal with students sometimes working individually or in small groups on different skills. It provides a consistent opportunity to get feedback and new things to work on. For more information, drop us a line - or sign up on our website: https://www.truhorsemanship.com/clinic-registration

If you don't get our newsletter, you may not have heard about some of our upcoming classes - like the Cow Class that starts July 25th.
Nothing builds a sense of purpose in a horse like a job - and cows provide that. Cows can also be a big confidence builder. This class series will give the opportunity for a progressive advancement in our horse's comfort with cattle, maneuverability, and athleticism over the course of the month. It will emphasize the low stress handling of the vaquero tradition.
Thursdays from July 25th - August from 3:00 - 5:00pm. You can register on our website (www.truhorsemanship.com) or by emailing us.

06/19/2019

As the 6 Week Foundation Class comes to a close, it's a good time to remind you that every month running into fall we will have 2 Foundation Classes per month. Check out our website for more information:

Our upcoming Saddle-Fit Demonstration has been rescheduled to October (see link attached). We have received a number of late inquiries, but the Demonstrations are such that we need people to sign up in advance if they're going to work out!

Local horsewoman Marietta Roby will join Clint for this demo on October 26th from 10:00-12:30 here in Tumalo. It is not uncommon for Clint to see horses with the understanding that they have a training issue or a behavior problem only to find that it’s really an issue of saddle fit. Join Clint and...

The cost of this class is $450. Our website lists prices as “from $112.50 up” but $112.50 is the deposit only.

With rumors of Pigeon Fever in the valley (we haven't been able to verify that), it occurs to us that it's always a good time to brush up on what it is, it's prevention, and treatment.

As pigeon fever spreads across the United States, so does information--and misinformation--about it. Here we'll take a look at the true causes, treatments, and outcomes.
