We love to see horses that came through our program succeed!

A few weeks ago Monte Carlo & Paige Ivey were Champion at their first A show together in the Children’s Hunter and were first in the children’s Hunter Classic.

We cannot wait to see these two continue to grow together.

We are excited to announce that Joe will be hosting a cow working clinic at our facility in Blacksburg, VA on Saturday, March 29th!

The day will focus on the technical maneuvers and horsemanship required for working a cow in the morning and then using those those maneuvers to work live cattle in the afternoon.

This clinic is an excellent opportunity for those looking to learn how to introduce a green horse to cattle or those looking to refine their cow work and stockmanship.

Clinic is limited to 10 riders for the day!

We’re happy about the progress this 2 year old stud c**t is making! Joe decided to take advantage of the warm weather and get some miles under his feet!

We are lucky to be so close to the Virginia Horse Center! Today Joe and Noelle took horses to VHC to school at a new venue and new location. Traveling with horses is an important part of their training process. If your horse needs help with travel anxiety, send us a message to get on the training schedule.

This morning, Banjo proved he is worth his weight in gold because there aren’t a lot of 6 year olds you can pull out of the field at 7am in 17 degree weather to move cows, but Banjo is one of them.

We are proud to offer this amazing AQHA registered gelding for sale. Message us for more information.
