What’s your opinion on training outside the arena? Personally we love getting the horses outside the arena for work. Not all show facilities look the same the more exposure your horse has to working in different atmospheres the better! Not just young horses either older horses also benefit from a little time outside.

TOO WIMPY TO SMOKE
6 year old gelding

Wimpys Little Step x Smokems Whiz

Axl is a big puppy dog. He is very in your pocket. Point and shoot type horse. He will suit just about any level rider. Shown in both the green and open. He would also make a nice youth horse (as long as they have the leg to push him) he can be on the lazy side but if you ask he will go. This gelding is quiet as can be in the show pen will stand like a statue in the center and will not run off to a stop. He is consistent. You can also trail ride on him and I believe he would transition into the ranch riding pen as well, he is a beautiful mover. He is the type that doesn’t have to be ridden every day of the week either.

Letter from a Trainer:

Yesterday was a hard day. I loaded a horse onto a trailer. I scratched his favorite spot, just like the last million times, and told him to behave himself.
Not that he was going someplace bad. I actually didn't know where he'd end up. I told him to behave because any decent horseman or woman will respect that quality and treat that horse well. I don't know if he will get that respect. But I know he will behave.

I touched a horse for the last time. He had only lived 28 days. I stayed with him during his very first 24 hours. I lifted him to his feet so that he could nurse. Every 20 minutes. His color changed from dark wet sleek to fluffy baby brown. And many days later, when he was much stronger on his spindly legs, in a big green field, another mare kicked him. I cried as I saw dreams crumble.

I ran a horse in for the winners photo.
I smiled as we became part of history and achieved the goals of myself and the dreams of his owner.
The world could see what that horse had done.
And I had helped him. It was just one day, a few minutes really, but one of our best and I was proud.
So I rubbed on his neck and praised him.

I walked into the barn. I'm always the first person there. It's early but I don't mind because twenty pairs of eyes look at me eagerly and nicker to me with excitement. I rub a few muzzles and foreheads but not everyone tolerates the nonsense of a late breakfast so I quickly get the grain. Their voices are music to my ears.

Yesterday I waited, my whole heart hurting as you stood in the field with a broken leg. When the vet finally showed, he drove straight down to where you stood shaking and immediately started grabbing needles and pulling blue liquid. I was his only helper and he instructed me through the din of my uncontrollable sobs. I told you that soon you wouldn't hurt anymore. I let go and then fell to my knees to lay across your neck.

There are pieces of my heart out there. And I don't know which goodbye is worse. When it's cold, I pray that you have enough hay to eat. I hope that someone cares enough to give you water and exercise and praise for a job well done. I hope that they continue to see the same talent and eagerness to please that I have always seen and praised you for.

Are your feet trimmed? Did you get your spring shots? Does your leg bother you still? Do they rub liniment on it or ice it or is it completely healed? I still see you in the barn. I can still see you in a picture, but every day when I walk past your stall, there is another horse there.

I will give my best to him too.

With every horse that comes through my program and leaves, a piece of me leaves with them. I pour everything into each horse that is with me. They are trained, loved, cared for to the best of my ability.
The best goodbyes come with the knowledge that the horse still has a job and a home with horsemen and women who respect him and love him.

Tux is a 2 year old male border collie looking for his forever home! He has a recall, super happy fun to be around dog. Some interest in sheep but probably best suited as a pet.

Helping rehome this dog for owners, she’s located in central KY and would be best suited in a home where she can have a job.

This is Rainy. She is 75% Border Collie, 12.5% McNabb, and 12.5% Blue Heeler. She is about to turn 4. She has done around 5-6 lessons with sheep. Her parents are both cattle dogs on a working ranch in California. Extremely athletic and intelligent dog!
