Providing horse riding lessons, horsemanship lessons, farrier work and more! Hello, I’m Victoria Hanson, the owner and sole operator of Bugle Summit Equine LLC.
(1)

I am a single mother to a 3 year old little boy and I am retiring from my 15 year Law Enforcement Career to share my knowledge and passion of horsemanship with the community. I grew up in a humble household in Kuna Idaho that did not have a lot of money. I caught the “horse bug” when I was three years old. My father managed to get the family an ornery Appaloosa gelding he later named “Towtruck”. I

learned a lot of hard lessons on Towtruck growing up. I also rode several other horses throughout the years participating in Playdays and Team Penning. I made ALL the mistakes a person could make with horses - it’s a miracle I survived my childhood. In 2012 I attended Texas Horseshoeing School and became a Farrier as a side hustle to my Law Enforcement Career. During this time I began researching horse trainers and learning horsemanship. Being a new Farrier, I took on clients none of the other Farriers wanted, because they were inexperienced horse owners. Most of my Farrier appointments became mini training sessions for the horse and their owners. I couldn’t afford to get hurt doing Farrier work so I offered my clientele a mini training session to see if I could get the horse safe enough to trim its feet and the results were often phenomenal. Working with “problem” horses became addicting because I found I could change a horses attitude into a willing partner quickly while showing owners how to accomplish this themselves. In 2013 I purchased my little buckskin mare Jade and trained her myself, she has been the best riding companion for the past decade. In 2015 I left Farrier work to pursue my career goal of becoming a Patrol Deputy. I continued to help friends and family with their horses in my spare time and I started spending extensive amounts of time exploring the trail systems of the Payette and Boise National Forests riding my mare Jade. In 2019 I became a mother. At the end of 2019 I returned to Patrol to continue my career. Life took an unexpected turn in 2020 and I became a single mother. Over the past couple of years it has become difficult to keep a full time Law Enforcement Career. This has pushed me to start a business to follow my passion - teaching horsemanship. If you want to learn the fundamentals and basics of riding, training, horse care and much more, I am happy to assist you. There is no ego here, I came from humble beginnings and I can always learn something new. Horses have always been a vessel for overcoming challenges in life that I couldn’t have overcome otherwise. Horses are confidants, therapists and life coaches in profound ways. I hope to share these experiences with you as you join me. See you soon,

Victoria Hanson

For those of you anticipating riding lessons - I am working on getting a start date which will likely be towards the third week in June due to overwhelming demand for Farrier work right now.

Lesson dates will be limited due to Farrier work being my primary source of income, but I will try to get some dates and times out on the website soon!

Meet Boone! Sponsored by Tyson Jones - Boone will be added as a lesson horse for the upcoming 2024 season! Boone is an 11 year old grade Quarter Horse Gelding. He has prior experience packing for an outfitter, being used in feedlots and gathering cattle. Boone has a very sweet temperament and is very willing to make his rider happy. He loves being groomed and pampered and is a pretty happy go lucky boy. We look forward to seeing you this summer! Happy Thanksgiving!

When I trim horses I like to leave enough hoof wall they aren’t flat on their soles to keep horses sound.

When I pull shoes off of horses, I rarely trim any hoof off because the new growth is replacing where the shoe would typically get reset. I polish and round the edges to help prevent chipping while the horse adjusts to being barefoot after having shoes on.

I have farrier appointments available in Donnelly/Cascade/McCall/Council/New Meadows/ Cambridge and more!

Update on Jade. On 07/03/2023 The doctors at Idaho Equine contacted me and said Jade is continuing to do very well. Jade had her flushing procedure on June 28th and the staff felt confident enough they'd gotten everything out of the joint to close it up with sutures.

Jade was placed in a PVC Splint and figured out quickly she had to swing her leg around to walk in her splint instead of "blowing up" which some horses do. Thankfully, Jade's training is really helping her along this journey to stay level headed and work with the staff to make a full recovery.

The Equine Hospital has described Jade as a "rockstar" to work with which makes me so happy.

Jade had her first bandage change and a limb profusion of antibiotics to her joint again. The veterinarians said that her swelling is really coming down and she continues to make great progress. The veterinarians are changing her bandage once every couple of days to give her wound a chance to "quiet down" and heal, and they're trying to minimize the amount of bacteria that could get introduced to her wound.

Overall Jade is doing very well, but she is not out of the woods yet. It sounds like the Equine Hospital will keep her for a minimum of two weeks and after they start pulling sutures, they will start working on physical therapy since she will no longer have a tendon that goes across the front of her knee.

Jade will likely develop some scar tissue where the tendon should be, this will affect her range of motion and make her "stiff" but she won't be in pain and will still be able to return to full duty as long as the rest of her healing journey goes well.

Thank you everyone for your care and support, I have been a big ball of tears out of gratitude for so many people coming forward to help me. You have no idea the impact each one of you have had on me. I hope one day when I'm doing better I can help others too.

A huge thank you to Teresa Bateman for her generous support. Theresa is allowing me to borrow one of her tried and true lesson horses to continue my lessons. I am working on the details with her and will hopefully be up and running again by July 10th. Stay tuned for more updates!

We did some horsin’ around this afternoon with the horses. Jade has made great progress since her injury at the end of June 2023. She’s still stiff and will be for some time but she’s looking better! And Waylon is being a good boy, I’m excited to continue his training and turn him into a great riding horse. #buglesummitequine #ridinglessons #horsemanship

Winter time gets pretty slow around here. This winter has been pretty mild and we may be in for an early spring. I usually get slammed in the spring/early summer with farrier appointments, which makes right now a great time to get a trim done. Call or text Victoria 208-401-4957
