I started a c**t for some people when I was a kid that was pretty sensitive. I’d crawl on him and all he wanted to do was gain speed. I’d pull him to a stop and as soon as I pitched him the reins, he’d take off again. I complained to my grandpa and told him this horse was just high strung.

He had me strip my saddle off and turn him out in the pens. As soon as I was removed from the situation, he walked over to the corner and stood with his head down. Grandpa said, “is he high strung or are you causing an issue you didn’t even recognize?”

I try to keep this scenario in the front of my mind. There is no denying that some horses are way more trainable than others. However, to blame the reaction to pressure solely on the horse is ignorant.

He urged me to be creative and to pay attention to the things I was doing that I didn’t realize I was doing.

The toughest horses have the most to teach. It isn’t always about what we can teach a horse. Sometimes it’s about what they taught us.

✨In on Consignment✨
✨Ranch/Rope prospect✨

Alf is a 14.3h 4 year old gelding with QH bloodlines. He isn’t papered but could be DNA tested, and is registered with ARHA. He is looking for new employment with an experienced rider. He IS NOT a kids horse.

He is sound, stands tied, stands for the farrier, and is well mannered on the ground. Alf rides out well and is never in a rush to come back to the barn. He moves cows, has drug calves to the fire, has been on trail rides and likes the big circle. Not much phases Alf. He also participated in the 2023 Pony Express Reride and carried a team member who is in their 70’s in the dark at a trot for approximately 6 miles. Serious inquiries only. Upper mid x,###. This will increase the more we ride him. Interested persons are encouraged to come try him out. PPE available at buyers expense.

Raise your hand if your horse gets a pedicure more frequently than you do 🙋🏻‍♀️😂

The cooler temps and wind had everyone feeling pretty good yesterday and the babies had a great first experience with the farrier!

Big thanks to Wyatt Rampy with Rampy Horseshoeing for comin out and getting everyone trimmed up! If you’re looking for a farrier that does good work give him a shout. He’s easy to work with, friendly, respectful, and was very patient with these young horses.

If yall are in need of equine (or other critters) chiropractic work done hit up Micheel Equine Sports Therapy out of Bassett, we had a client horse off, and our usual chiropractor was full, I literally messaged her last night at like 10pm figuring we get someone down on Monday or Tuesday, but no she went above and beyond and was down here before noon today, and I was a night and day difference. We also had her look at Lil D, who's been super weird about her ears and she wound up being off in the poll, as well as a few other places (Laura only got pics of Lil D 🤣)
