One of the last horse shows of the season off to a great start!

08/22/2024

Offered for your consideration!

Lopin in The Red Fred (Fred) is a 5yr old paint gelding standing 16hh. Very quiet and gentle for riders of all experience levels. Fred has competed in mounted shooting, showed with intermediate 4Hers, and been hauled all around the Midwest trail riding and doing all the other fun things. Fancy enough for an adult amateur looking to go for a spin in the ranch or pleasure pen, but easygoing and safe enough to let the kids ride around in the warmup! No vices, keeps well stalled or pastured and not spooky. Fred is also a fantastic pony horse and has been used to pony the owner’s 17hh draft horses. His personality is as cool as it comes, with smooth gaits and an easy handle to match. Clips, stands for the farrier, and all the other basics that any good gelding should do. Currently in with me for a month of professional training to get a one-handed finish. Contact me for more info or to schedule a time to try him out!

**Update** One spot remaining, and then we will be booked for the rest of the summer/early fall!

Double Bar C Performance Horses has two stalls remaining for full time training horses in Bondurant, Iowa! Need a yearling taught the basics to be ready for their two year old year? Double Bar C has a strong yearling program. Maybe you're realizing that your current show horse could use a tune-up or a career change all together-- we can help with that too! Spots also remain for horses on the Double Bar C show string, including for a two year old at the Ranch Horse Extravaganza & Futurity or any age at the IQHA fall futurity. Special consideration/pricing for long-term training packages and show horses.

An amazing week down at the Pinto World Show 2024! It was an impressive group of competitors this year with tough horses and friendly faces. Great placings all week, finishing up Thursday with a championship in ranch horse conformation! I couldn’t be more proud of the little horse I brought home as a weanling nine years ago! Thank you Diaman H Stables for trusting a little girl with a dream with a once in a lifetime horse, and Brooke Hoven and Nate Reams for holding down the fort while I was gone!

**All positions are full for now!**

Double Bar C is looking for one individual to join the team as chore help in Bondurant, IA! Friendly, no drama environment in a quiet facility. Fully indoor facility— no mud/snow hiking required. Job requirements would be to clean 5 (sometimes a couple more or less) stalls once daily and feed horses during that time. Takes roughly two hours. Flexible to either morning or evening, but must be consistent. I will typically work horses while chores are being done, so very little horse handling required unless I’m away at a show. Looking for 5-7 days a week, must be open to handling full chores on weekends when I am gone showing (1-2x per month with plenty of notice given). I’m willing to be flexible to work around schedules, but the individual must have reliable transportation and be 16 or older. Prior horse handling experience required. Will pay very fairly dependent on experience level and individual’s capability, am also open to trading work for riding lessons on my horse’s or the individuals. Possibility to turn into further riding opportunities; also would love to find someone with possible interest in bathing/grooming duties for extra compensation. As such, extra preference given to those interested in being involved in the ranch horse and reining industries! Please message me here or text me at 515-745-0228 for more information.

If you love history like I do, this is a great video!

Hay? Stacked. Arena? Worked and watered. Horses? Happy! Always appreciative of facilities that go the extra mile to make my job easier! 😊

05/14/2024

Huge thanks to Purina Sales Specialist Joel Edge for meeting today at Cultivating Hope Farms to set up a feed trial program! This program is also what keeps all of the Double Bar C horses looking and performing their best. Local businesses help local businesses! Looking forward to continuing to work together with both of these local businesses in the future.

Thank you Cole Neel for trusting me with Turbo (Gimme My Chex) this summer! You’d be hard pressed to find a quieter, better-minded stud c**t than this one. Look out for him in the yearling classes this year while we get ready for the Ranch Horse Extravaganza & Futurity!

05/08/2024

ISO: Dark oil Sulphur, OK Billy Cook roping saddle. 6” gullet is great, 7” would be even better. 16” seat, no major repairs needed but use and normal wear and tear are fine— looking for another work saddle! A stitched seat would be ideal versus the padded or hardseat, but not a requirement. 🙂 Please comment what you have or shoot me a message, ready to buy as soon as possible!

"There is no greater love than this— that a man may lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13. Today is a day to honor those who have laid down their life that we may live in freedom and safety. A day to remember those who lost the battle in service to their country, whether to our enemies or to their own demons. A day that serves as a reminder that we stand upon the shoulders of their sacrifice, and that we should never forget that such heroes have lived.

Going to be another warm day— make sure to stay cool! Stop by our full service horse wash complete with blow dry. 🤪

Could you ask for a better first ride back on a three year old who’s had all winter off to grow? Thanks Nate Reams for being the guinea pig! 🤣 Can’t wait to take A Charming Invitation into the show ring this summer. #charm #ranchhorse #doublebarc

Great day working with Chase Perkins and Dakota at the Cultivating Hope Farms arena! Can’t wait to host some lessons and clinics this summer. Look like something that could help you and your horse out? Join us back at this arena for an advancing horsemanship clinic on April 27th!

If you want to keep your pride, don’t buy a mare. If you want a horse who will hang on your every word, don’t buy a mare. If you want a horse who will trip over herself following your every command, don’t buy a mare. But on the flip side… If you want to be challenged every day to be the best horseman you can be, buy a mare. If you want to grow into a worthy partner who earns the respect of their horse, buy a mare. She’ll teach you everything you need to know, if you’re ready to listen.

I was thankful for rain the beginning of this week, and now I’m thankful to be able to get out and enjoy the sunshine! What are you thankful for today?

To my students— I promise I love you. I won’t enjoy this at all whatsoever… well… I’ll enjoy it a little bit. But only because it will improve you as a rider! Purely professional. 😛😂

Horses: if it isn’t pushing you out of your comfort zone, you aren’t doing it right! Outside of your comfort zone is the only place where real growth takes place— even when that growth is perseverance in the face of failure. #doublebarc #motivationdaily #ranchhorse

Even on cold, snowy days, thankful for the One who has set great things in motion!

The 2024 show season will be in full swing before we know it! What’s your top goal for this year? #doublebarc #spring #goals

It may be dreary outside, but it’s warm and fun inside the cattle barn at the Iowa Horse Fair 2024! Come inside to dry off and hang out with Milo and Maude the mini donkeys at Cultivating Hope Farms’ interactive booth!

One of the biggest questions I get from people new to showing ranch horses is equipment. They want to look good but still maintain the practicality that’s at the heart of the ranch horse industry, and many of them can’t afford to have a collection of work and show pads when they’re just dipping their toes in to showing ranch horses. This is where the Bentley Show Pads performance pad shines its brightest! A colorful, classy show pad on top with the versatile, durable working pad on the bottom— the perfect mix of work and play suited to both daily work and the show pen. The only thing that could make my first ride back in Iowa any better!

Getting ready to put together a logo gear order, so over the next few days we wanted to showcase some of the options we’ll be offering! Up first is a fan favorite, the Double Bar C winter beanie. Client reviews have been, “comfiest hat I own,” and, “warmer than Carhartt!” Lots of styles and colors options— you definitely need one for yourself! 😄 Check out the hats in action in this photo reel!

Cowboy Revolution Apparel keeping me looking my best at the barn! Use my code DBCPH24 at checkout for 15% off your order!

Iowa friends— this post is for you!! Due to a high demand from (awesome) clients and a need to grow more than west Texas will let us, Double Bar C is coming back to Iowa! I’ll be getting settled at my former location in February, and we will be looking for a horse facility to rent come this fall. Look out for Double Bar C horses this show season, and I will be opening my books for some clinics, training slots, and coaching sessions starting in March! If you’re looking to get a horse tuned up for what 2024 has to offer or are ready to step up to the next level in your horsemanship abilities, shoot me a message and we will get something on the schedule for you! Can’t wait to see y’all soon!

“On second thought I do like to brag, because I'm mighty proud of this ragged old flag.” When I started this brand I had a lot of ideas, but I had a few principles that I knew were non-negotiable. At the front of this was God and country. We thank the Lord for giving us this life, giving us these horses that we love so much. We thank the American soldier for defending the right to live this life we love so much. Thank you, veterans, for defending these rights. May we stand by you just as strongly.

Still waiting on results for the final show in the series and series high point, but it’s been a great fall season with the Let's Get Ranchy Online Horse Show! Show champion in both of my divisions with Rolexs Hollywood Lady at the last show, and currently sitting second in overall points in both! Even brought A Charming Invitation in for her first experience in the show pen, taking first and third in her first conformation classes. Excited for the future with both of these talented mares! And a huge thanks to Gettin' Branded for supplying the show with some great awards!

Gave the horses the weekend off and headed to the Fort Worth Stockyards! Well worth the trip!

Huge congratulations to Nate Reams for a jaw-dropping rookie year!! This season closed with a bang at the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association’s Scharbauer World Championship. Nate and Gunner walked away with 3rd place in Main Match M2, 4th place in Men’s Double Down A Division, 5th place in Limited Shotgun, Clean Shooter Jackpot, and earning money in other divisions! This left them standing 77th Overall out of 317 shooters. Way to go!!

Leisha Murray had a great lesson tonight! We’re gearing up for the last Let's Get Ranchy Online Horse Show, and we can’t wait to get our entries in with One Tuff Roughie, Rolexs Hollywood Lady, and A Charming Invitation!
