I have been in a transition year after building my new covered arena 💕 I am now training full time again. I have one, 60 day opening starting in May (commitment of two months) this is ideal for tune ups, halter breaking, groundwork for 2 Year olds prepping for saddling training, problem solving issues (trailer loading, etc), mustang gentling.

Offered is full care board and training. 72x144 covered arena, 12x12 stalls with 12x24 runs, with 6' high panels. And over 100 acres of trails. A 7' high, 45' panel round pen is also part of the facility.

If this timing doesn't work for you, message me to get on the extended list and see if my program is the right fit!

This is one of my training horses this month, He is a 9 month old Canadian horse. As a newborn he was handled to be tube fed and received medical care, since then he has had an adversity to being haltered. His owners have not had success in haltering him in 9 months. This is a progression video of this stud c**t here, coming in super defensive and kicking at anything in sight (or just in the air for that matter) then finally letting his guard down and revealing the relaxed horse that was in there all along 💕

I'm not the best at keeping my page up to date on the progress of horses in training but I'm truly thankful for all my clients and a full barn of training horses.

This 4 year old QH gelding has a sensitive side and as a green broke c**t, his last ride ended with bucking someone off. He's been here a handful of days. I worked on getting a good handle on ground work and getting him going in a snaffle. I purposefully rode him with a bit more energy, changing directions and quickly asking for transitions, keeping him attentive. Seemed to pay off. We'll keep at this pace and see what his progress looks like in a while :)

This project is far enough along I can share my excitement in this accomplishment with the world! "Work hard in silence, let your success make the noise"

My life goal and ambition of having a covered arena to train horses in and ride year round finally happened! Sacrifices, determination, grit, motivation are just a few words that explain what it took to put this in motion and completion.

Years of training horses in all seasons in the PNW outdoors taught me a lot, made me stronger, the struggle has made me appreciate what I have worked for. I finally achieved the biggest hurdle which will make doing my life's work easier and more efficient.

Every mustang that crossed my path to every client who trusted me with their personal horses, my journey and outcome would not have been the same without them. I have a close knit group of friends who have always been there to cheer me on, and raise glasses when accomplishments are made. I definitely need to thank my parents who stuck with me emotionally and otherwise supporting my crazy horse obsession and saw the value in my work; and to my mom who's an example of a strong woman who can get things done 💪

Right now I'm going to sit beneath the middle of this giant roof and think of where I've been to get to this point and think where things could go from here.

*Stay tuned for training openings soon. Gaston, OR

I was able to try something new and advance my horsemanship skills last weekend! There was a draft horse plowing competition put on by Yamhill County Historical Society - Yamhill Valley Heritage Center. I entered with a greenbroke team of Clydesdales and we pulled off a very successful plowing! I am very thankful for all the help and instruction I had along the way

💕adopted💕"Classy" is needing a home. Long yearling, titled BLM mustang filly from Paisley Desert HMA. String tests to 15-15.1 hands.

Classy is very gentle, and likes attention. She walks right up, leads well, ties, good for hoof trims, loads and hauls in a trailer, and bathes.

She is curious and already likes getting out and doing some 'work'. She is very flashy and athletic enough to go any direction. She would be a great "do it yourself training project"

Current on vaccines, deworming, hoof trim and getting a current coggins.

Located in Gaston, OR. Asking 1200

This is a sweet, willing filly. Will make a great project and riding partner someday. Athletic and leggy with good conformation. Halter broke, picks up feet and can load in a trailer.

Asking a reasonable training fee. Located in Gaston, OR.

Update: sold
I'm considering finding this nice b***o a new home. He is 13 years old, titled, gentle, and gelded BLM b***o. Out of the corrals for 2.5 years. He likes people and attention. I had plans to make him my pack donkey but didn't get around to it, he is very trainable and could still become a nice pack animal.

He's easy to catch out in pasture, respects electric fencing, with a couple short sessions is good with his feet. He has been a friend to our retired milk cow for a while. He does not get along with sheep or goats so is not suitable as a guardian for small livestock. Could be a companion for a horse or larger animals.

Asking 800. Located in Gaston, OR.

It's colt starting season!!! First ride on a super nice, young quarter horse gelding. He'll be barrel racing someday but right now he's here learning the basics. Feels awesome to be back at it full swing with a new and improved space to work the horses 💪💕
