Billboard is a good patient when it comes to doctoring his wound. He let's me clean and prod it - to a point. He's going to have to be kept up for a bit but he's on the mend.

Whelp...ol Billboard decided he needed to add excitement to my day by somehow getting an injury.

It's never to late to start them early!

We've had a few littles come onto the ranch over the past months and lets just say the horses have enjoyed their minature antics! Kiona has a feeling that she'll be giving them lessons as soon as they can sit in the saddle.

We are very proud of Naomi today! After not being able to ride for some months, she jumped in the saddle today and took right to it! Ol Leroy made sure to listen and give her a relaxing ride, enjoying his time with his owner.

We got some good pups on the ranch!

We hope everyone is having a good Christmas and soon a good new year!

Trails got cleared so now we can saddle up and go trail riding whenever we want! It's great Training for the horses between the train, gun shots and random animals running around.

Let the young ones learn how to lead a calm, patient horse and they will build confidence! #mustangs #cowgirl #growwild

When it's all muddy, we do groundwork to build confidence on the ground. We set up a little steering course and Billboard taught his student the importance of how communicate with body language.

There was something in the woods pile that was getting the pups attention the other night. It's never a dull moment on the ranch with these 2! #ranchdoglife #ranchdog #lifeisgood #mustangs #veteranshelpingveterans #veterans

Today we let all the horses go out together after Reno's return from babysitting duty. Billboard is very protective to Kiona, not letting a new herd mate get close until they learn the rules...again. This also helps work on his buddy sourness.

Before it got to hot, Kiona got a ride in working on arena work and then a relaxing ride off property with Luna taking the lead!

Billboard adds another skill to his belt! He did really well with shooting today. Now we just need to order more rounds to keep practicing!

When used properly and you've prepared your horse, draw reins can be an excellent tool to help teach your partner how to collect. However, you want to stop using them once your partner has learned how to hold themselves with minimul reminder.

About Cross Rifle Equestrian

Cross Rifle Equestrian is owned and solely operated by myself. I am a horse trainer who mainly works with tune up training and am slowly working myself into training both owners and their partners (their horses) as well as training a 4 year old Mustang--who’s never been touched by another being.

A little about myself so you know who you will be communicating with in the future. I have served four years in the United States Marine Corps, ending my service as a Corporal, hence Cross Rifle. I’m a no non-sense kind of person and believe a direct route is often the best. I also believe having an all around horse (who can carry a flag flying upon their back, jumping from 1/5 foot to 2 foot 6 inches, a calm trail horse, team penning/cattle working, western pleasure and anything else you can think of) is the best kind of horse. You can take them anywhere and do anything you want to.

Every horse that is put into my training program goes through a 30 minute session to figure out the root problems. The 30 minutes doesn’t mean I only do it in the saddle. A lot of times the problems that the owners/riders find while riding can be fixed on the ground, but that is not the case for every horse so I figure out the issue before jumping heads over heels into the training.
