GUNNA GET ER DONE
🚨 DREAM HORSE ALERT 🚨
Check out this flashy
2023 PALOMINO AQHA GELDING!
GUNNAR has great bloodlines with PLAYGUN directly on his papers. He traces back to KING 15 times and LEO 13 times.
His grandpa won:
AQHA Reserve Champion Superhorse;
AQHA World Champion, Sr. Heeling;
AQHA World Top Ten
Many of Gunnars siblings are world champions in roping, barrel racing, reining cowhorse, and cutting

He is an awesome c**t and will exceed expectations with any direction you want to take him. He has a great foundation already started on him and lots of exposure. Gunnar has been shown in showmanship and halter, picks up his feet, is great with the clippers, has had lots of desensitizing, loads in the trailer and backs out, lounges in a round pen and on a line, ties great, stands super well for a bath and fly spray, and has been saddled 3 times now and did great.

He is going to make someone their dream horse! Gunnar is an athlete and will be able to take you to whatever level you want to go to. If you would like to check him out shoot me a message!

>>>SPEND GOOD MONEY ON YOUR C**T STARTER.

>>>PICK SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST AND LET THEM DO THEIR JOB.

>>>DONT RUSH THEM.

>>>THIS IS SETTING YOUR HORSE UP FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE.

>>>THIS IS ARGUABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP.

I see so many horses that COULD HAVE been outstanding and instead I’m putting back together mistakes from the laying of a bad foundation.

🗣 Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

And THANK YOU to my great c**t starters! With you guys on my team; I can accomplish anything!!!

⭐️⭐️JUSTA GRANDE GAUGE⭐️⭐️
2021 AQHA REGISTERED DUN GELDING
Wowza! Check out this pretty boy! Gauge was started in my training program as a yearling and then recently brought back to get him going under saddle. He only has about 20-30 rides on him but as you can see he LOVES to learn! This horse can take you in any direction you want to go in with his phenomenal foundation blood lines. He has been handled his whole life and is very bomb proof for being 3 years old. He has never offered to buck or rear and is always the first one to meet you at the gate!

Gauge can walk, trot, lope under saddle, and will stop on a “woah” without having to pull your reins. He is starting to neck rein. He lounges in a round pen or on a line. Stands, ties, picks up his feet, lets you fly spray him, does great with the clippers, and all the basic stuff like a pro!

Gauge has a TON of personality and is very eager to be your best friend and give it his all! Would make a great family horse, ranch versatility horse, reining/cowhorse, rope horse, performance horse, extreme trail challenge horse, or just a dang good all around

Horses change peoples lives and I LOVE being apart of that story for people and the horse! I love working with a horse to find out what they are good at, what they enjoy doing, and then finding the perfect home for that horse. ❤️ YES there have been many horses that I loved and could have kept, but knowing that I found them a PERFECT home and getting to watch them grow in their new homes and help their new owners is such a wonderful feeling!

⭐️HORSE TRAINING OPENINGS⭐️
⭐️HORSE CAMP SIGNUPS NOW OPEN⭐️

I will be running a special for April & May for FULL TRAINING. You’re first month will be regular price and the second month will be $100 off!! I have one, possibly 2 depending on the horse, openings available for April and May to get your horse in for training or a tune up! Here are some things I can help you and your horse with!
⭐️GROUND WORK: I highly recommend getting your young horses in to get a great foundation started of leading manners, showmanship, lounging, desensitizing, bathing, farrier manners, loading in the horse trailer, and so much more. Or maybe you have a older horse that could use a refresher!!

⭐️STARTING: Let me put the first rides on your horse so you don’t have too! You wouldn’t drive a car with no brakes so why would you get on a horse with no buttons or breaks!? Let me install them for you!

⭐️TUNE UPS: I bet you don’t remember all those algebra equations, its okay, neither do I! If you have a horse that has been sitting for a while they probably don’t remember everything they have been taught either!

⭐️MAINTENANCE: Horses are so great for your soul, but they can take a lot of time and a lot of work! I can help you by keeping your horse groomed, exercised, tuned up, and happy so you can come and enjoy them whenever you would like!

⭐️COMPETING: Trying something new can be so intimidating! I have lots of experience in many different areas of competing with horses and can help you and your horse get started, and if it’s something I am not familiar with I know a lot of trainers I can refer you too also! I have shown horses for 15+ years, I’ve done ranch riding, reining, cow work, sorting, breakaway, mountain trail, jumping, and quite a few other events as well!

⭐️SELLING OR BUYING A HORSE: The cost of owning a horse has definitely increased! If you have a horse that you would like to sell I can help you get them tuned up and determine what they might be worth, I typically have buyers in mind as well! I can also help you find the perfect horse for you! We have lots of horses here you can ride and see what level of horse you might be looking for! Occasionally we have some pretty awesome horses for sale also!

⭐️Our HORSE CAMP sign ups are also now open and filling up quickly! Check out pinehollowranch.com for more information.
⭐️We also offer riding lessons to all levels with your own horse or ours!

Message me! Tell me about you and your horse and I will let you know how I can help! Located in Emmett Idaho.

Woohoo! 🤩 We are so excited for show season to start up!! The c**t training team joined us for a little field trip to the practice show put on by the Treasure Valley Paint Horse Club! We had a great time! It was baby Gunnar and baby Brunos first time leaving the ranch! They did great!

The c**t training team got to try something new and work on some cart training with Charlie! 🤩

🎆 HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎆
2023 was an amazing year for us in so many ways! I was so blessed to work with some great horses, and coach some pretty amazing kids. We also added four new horses to our own crew in 2023: 1. Charlie the bay mini 2. Captain Crunch the pinto mini 3. Gunnar the palomino AQHA c**t 4. Bruno the grey AQHA c**t 🤩
So proud of everything we acomplished this last year! 2024 already has some exciting stuff in the books and some great horses scheduled for training. Can’t wait to see what this year holds for Rhodes Horse Training and Pine Hollow Ranch, 🤠❤️
Now is a great time to get on my books for spring tune ups or to talk to me about getting your horse into the show ring! Lets make those goals achievable!

Wishing you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Rhodes! 🎄 ❤️

A little sneak peak into what we have been doing in c**t training lately 🤠
-
2 year old Wrangler has been working on his walk, trot, and even lope transitions. He has mastered stopping on a woah without having to pick up the reins! He is even starting to get the hang of neck reining! We love Wrangler!
-
6 month old Bruno and Gunnar have been learning how to lounge on a line and smoothly change directions. They are becoming pros at showmanship. Plus we have been working on some desensitizing and exposure to new things. Not only are these 2 babies absolutely adorable they are also sooo smart!

STRIPES WOULD BE A PERFECT CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR THAT SPECIAL PERSON 🤩
I can deliver him with a bow! 🎁
Message me for more details!

If you can’t tell we are SUPER EXCITED that Charlie is doing so amazing! He says “don’t worry guys I got this!” This little guy sure is lovable! 😍

Wranglers first ride in the arena with Rylee who is in our c**t training class🤩 this c**t never fails to amaze me! This is only his 5th ride. Look at him stop 🛑 like a PRO when she sits down! Way to go Wrangler!

“Loud people make quiet horses”
We are having too much fun in our c**t training class! Wrangler is a great example of why we start handling the c**ts at a young age. He is 2 years old and completely trust anything we throw at him. Here, we are getting him used to mounting and dismounting from both sides, the mounting block, and a whole lot of silly business! 😜

SMOKEY
THE PERFECT PONY
Smokey is the perfect pony for the family. Just in time for hunting season, she has done lots of packing throughout her lifetime. Plus the kids will love her! This little gal would go to the ends of the earth for you. If I was going into battle and needed a noble steed I would pick Smokey any day. She would be a great kids horse, gaming horse, pack horse, family horse, or just about anything you needed her for horse. Smokey knows how to walk, trot, lope, stop, back, and neckreins nicely. She has never bucked and is well mannered. She has been very loved throughout her life unfortunately her kids have grown up and moved away and her owners want see her go to a good home where she can continue to be loved!

QUARTER HORSE MARE
This horse would do absolutely anything you ask her to do. She is brave, confident, kind, and loves to work for you. She has done lots of cow work, sorting, was used as a turnback horse, been roped off of, extreme trail obstacles, casual trail riding, can pack a flag, and would be able to go in almost any direction.
She ties, loads, bathes, stands good for the farrier, and clips (even her ears) like a pro.
She is very gentle and safe but she is a power house of a horse and loves to work. If you ask her to go she goes. She likes kids but would need a kid that knows how to ride.

Todays challenge was finding a saddle and cinch BIG enough to fit FERGUS. Today was also Fergus’s first time ever with a bit in his mouth. He did great and is eager to learn!

09/05/2023

This is Fergus! ❤️ He is an 8 year old gypsy/halflinger cross that just got here for a tune up! I think he is adorable and can’t wait to see his progress!
