the outside of the arena, is good for the inside of the horse✨

So many times we get so focused on drilling these horses inside the lines of the arena, loping those perfect circles, rolling back on the rails, trying to keep that perfect collection; but what really gets those young horses broke and correct is the outside world, pushing them to see and try new things, thats what builds their confidence and makes a good all around horse.

Yesterday, we took a young horse out for her first time in town, and it wasn’t just a leisurely ride around. It was parade day, filled with thousands of people cheering, motorcycles revving, horse driven carriages, hot rods, flags, etc. and not only was she exposed to it all, she rode in it and carried a flag for over 3 hours. She didnt have to be perfect, only willing and it was a success.

I’d take a day of that kind of experience for a young horse, over a week of riding in the same fenced in dirt arena, any day.

Makes for a pretty special day when an owner gets to ride their baby horse for the first time ever! Crypto is shaping up to be quite a gentleman and trying to become the best behaved amature horse for his mom.

Crypto JM is approaching the end of his first 30 days with us, he’s such a smart and willing young gelding and he is coming along so nicely. With just a handful of rides under his belt he is moved out of the round pen and riding quietly in the arena at the walk, jog and canter. Can’t wait to see his progress over the next few months, and get his owner in the saddle!

As we ring in this new year, I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you, to all of our clients and their horses who have filled my barn over the last 12 months. We are growing and improving every moment here that we can, but it wouldn’t be possible without the continued support of both new and past clients. So cheers, to a great year, but with hope of making 2025 the biggest and best year yet.

Just Epic; 2023 AQHA Appendix Filly

“Gracie” is a gorgeous palomino filly, coming in on her two year old year . She is truly phenomenally built and conformationally put together, retaining qualities of both her QH & TB lines. Athleticism, Speed, Stamina, she has it all. Sired by KN JOHNNY BE GOOD, a 1D barrel horse still currently competing, and son of EPIC LEADER. Out of CALIFORNIA JEWELS, a money earning track horse and daughter of FUSHACHI PEGASUS the 2000 Kentucky Derby Winner. This filly has champions all through her pedigree with the earnings to prove it, also including FRENCHMANS GUY, MR PROSPECTOR, and CONFEDERATE LEADER.

Bred to race on the track, run barrels, or rope; however I believe she will excel in any discipline or direction she’s taken. Her Dam is 16hh and her Sire is 15.2hh, she is currently standing 14.1 at the wither, and 14.3 at the hip, and continues growing/filling out everyday. She has great bone, musculature, and strong feet. Gracie has been handled extensively since birth, very in your pocket and wants to be attended to. She loads and hauls in the trailer. Stands tied, gets hooves trimmed regularly, bathes and clips, lunges in the round pen, ponies off other horses in the arena and out on the trail. She will be starting getting saddled in the new year, and price will increase with more training. Don’t miss out on the chance to own this absolutely gorgeous performance prospect.

More Photos & Videos available; please private message directly.
