Della was spoiled today with Masterson method body work & bemer treatment by my talented friend Jolyn from Wasem Red Angus & Ranch Hand Healing. Della deserves it & these animals are so blessed having Jolyn work with them. Della loves her & thoroughly enjoyed it. 👏🏻
Zazu finally has his registration name on paper. I always forget to "gelding" but thats ok!!!
😂
Day 2 of trying to put some consistency on Luna. She is 4 years old, big & still green but thats okay. This is my accountability post that I wil be camping on her hopefully at least 4/5 days a week so she can have some consistency. She should be a good one being a sister to Della. Both mares comes from Rockin' PJ Performance Horses breeding program!!! Elsabe Hausauere
No amount of physical manipulation can make up for a poor foundation ❌
When it comes to training, foundation is everything.
I’ve seen it time and again—owners send horses to trainers and expect them to become proficient in a discipline within 60-90 days without having a good foundation to start with.
The truth is, your trainer will probably need at least that long, if not longer, to correct the bad habits that horse arrived with and put some foundational elements in place so that they can progress that horse through its training.
When we skip the critical steps of developing trust, communication, and understanding with these horses during the early formative periods of their lives, we are costing ourselves significant time, effort, and investment down the road.
If we don't take the time to handle these horses correctly at a young age, we are putting ourselves (and our trainers) in the position to rely on physical manipulation later ― and, that simply doesn't work.
Do yourself, and your trainers, a favor and make the time to build a relationship with your c**ts. Even a few minutes a day can drastically improve your starting point and set them up for long-term success.
Good morning Handsome ❤️
“That horse was started at 2?! It’s gonna break down by the time it’s 10” something I see on every sale ad of a young finished horse.
Why does the industry start 2 year olds instead of 4/5 years old? So many reasons!
A 2 year old is a SPONGE! They want to learn they take in everything. They come along quickly with short work sessions and crave the right answer. They are less likely to buck and test the waters. They build bone density and in my experience tend to be stronger long term. Now, I’m not saying ride them Into the ground, no good trainer is. That will ruin any age horse. Short rides, or even starting in the spring and putting them out to pasture and bringing them back in the fall. They retain it all!
The people screaming to not start until 4-5 I tend to notice this main common denominator. THEY DONT START THEIR OWN! So let’s p**s off the trainer instead, since they’re not brave enough to do it themselves now. If you wait till 4-5 and start your own more power to you that’s your personal choice you probably worked that c**t since it was born. Most c**t starters will all agree the 2 and 3 years olds are where it’s at and not the unhandled 5 year old.
If you have ever started an older horse, they tend to be more stuck in their ways. For good reason. You just took a welfare horse that has never had to work a day in their life and said “time to go work for a living” when they’d much rather be fat and happy in the pasture. They tend to be lazier, balk the system, and just overall more difficult. Every older horse I’ve started had WAY more issues than the 2 year olds and I’ve seen more 2 year olds showing successfully into their older years than ones that were started later. I’ve seen more go lame, or just not have a brain cell to work with.
From an overall ethical standpoint here’s one to sit on. You take that 2 year old start them, give them a great education they are pretty exceptional citizens by the time they are 4. You have set that horse up for his life. He is more likely to go onto great homes because he is gentle and broke and probably shown by now.
Now, this is what I see happening ALOT with 4-5 year olds. They haven’t started them yet, so maybe they try themselves and got in way over their heads with their strong 15 hand toddler. Now they have an outlaw. “Well let’s just wait longer since they’re already 5” *another 2 years go by, now a unbroke 7 year old. Dumped at sale, “cheap project”, need experienced trainer, etc.
Even if they do start that horse by 4-5, broke by 7 with little life experience. Now, you missed the major shows or more than likely don’t show that horse or just settle and the horse never amounted to what it could have been 90% of the time.
I can’t tell you how many projects we have bought at 8-10 years old green, unbroke, or WILD. Why? NOBODY STARTED THEM AT 2 and set them up for success. You know where they were headed? No where good, because someone waited ”for the good of the horse” and never got around to it. That saying has put more horses in the kill pen than someone lightly starting their 2 year old ever has.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, I could write a book on this, but we don’t have time for that - written by Cassy Davis
*Pictured one I started at 2.
Kenzley's Aint Seen Nothin Yet stud c**t "Bear" is growing beautifully. Pictures don't do him justice. He is so beautiful, sweet, kind & he definitely dont skip meals. Cannot wait to see what the future holds for him & Kenzley!
His sire Aint Seen Nothin Yet crossed the 3 million mark as a sire & 7 of those babies have won over $100K. He has become on of the most sought after stallions in the the US. Multiple 1D Money Earning & Arena Record, Pro Rodeo, Futurity Winning, Slot Race Producing Sire!
His dam Codys Driftin Lena was one of the best all-around mares in the state of Nebraska. This mare took her rider to the Nebraska State High School rodeo finals three years in barrels, poles, and breakaway. She was an outstanding team roping mare before coming to Nebraska. The mare qualified for the National High School rodeo in barrels and also qualified three years in the LIttle Britches Rodeo national finals in all three events. She was 1D in barrels. She also stayed sound throughout her career and sounds like one of those "once in a life time kind of horses".
Thank you once again Sandy Lowery for selling us two outstanding c**ts!!!
Perfect amount of cow & run.....

He will be paid into Future Fortunes prior to sale.
He is by FAMOUS BLACK TY (Dash Ta Fame x Lanes of Royalty, Lanes Leinster) out of MBR Matthews Pearl (Matthew Twenty Two by Dual Pep out of the producing mare Shorty Lena Pearl by Shorty Lena & Miss Rascal Nic, NRHA Producer of over $1800 by Boogernic out of Miss Rascal Jac PE of $40,000 NRHA by Hollywood Jac 86). I am so excited to see where this c**t ends up.
A performance home is a MUST. His dam will now go in full time training for the rodeo pen competing hopefully at a national level with my kids. Only reason I bred her last year was to get a foal out of her. She wont get bred again until we retire her. You will get to purchase this baby and see his mom compete at Junior/high school rodeo for the next few years since she is only 5. I dont have to say much about his incredible sire, Famous Black Ty. The name speaks for itself. He is down right outstanding and his offspring are on 🔥 in the barrel pen. This beautiful foal will be available for pick up after we wean but I dont mind keeping him here over winter either!! Only reason he is for sale is to make up on vet & repro bills.

Forgot to share these. Before Nationals in June Kenzley & I had a little barrel pole clinic for beginners at the Twin Buttes Fairgrounds as part of her send off to Nationals. We had such a great group of riders & had allot of fun. Thank you all who came and supported.
💥Perfect amount of cow & run!!!💥
You dont get much more athletic than this guy.
I absolutely hate letting this foal go but due to open mares this year I have to make up for money spent and offer some young ones for sale. His dam will be going back in training now & get started on break away roping. She is by Matthew Twenty Two. We own 3 Matthew babies and love all of them & the kids compete on them.
His sire FAMOUS BLACK TY is one of my FAVORITE running bred sires and his babies are on 🔥. Don't miss out on this amazing baby. The sky is the limit.

1st Baldy for the year!!! #2024calving
Thankful for colt friendly bale feeders! Love my poly feeder. He got himself in a pickle but luckily got himself out of it again!!! Whats your favorite bale feeder?
Once I pass my horses to my kiddos I try to check in on them once a week to make sure they stay tuned up and broke after rodeos. This one gets a little rusty but he remains such a good boy with a willing frame of mind & won my 6 yr old her 1st saddle this year.... however ALL OF THEM needs adult tune up once in a while to make sure competing & riding is a pleasant experience for everyone .... #isitsummeryet #trainingformykids #brokerodeohorses
The 8 days of having Josh Lyons/Lyons Legacy for a trainers clinic in North Dakota has come to an end & I finally got time to sit down & thank everyone for coming & for being such a great group of riders. It was so fun to watch the improvements & my heart was full watching everyone enjoying Josh's teaching as much as I do. He is absolutely incredible and so is his whole family!!! I cant thank you all enough for lending a hand in the kitchen as well as cleaning up the stalls so good. Everyone pitched in and it truly felt like we were all a big family. Thank you to one of my best friends, Julie for all your help with groceries & precooked meals you are truly amazing and many riders said it felt like a thanksgiving meal. Thank you to my mom for all your help to with the kiddos and in the kitchen. I cant thank the Twin Buttes Fairgrounds & MHA nation enough for opening up their beautiful facility to us & for being so welcoming to everyone especially Tara Fredericks who helped making this possible. We really appreciate you & cant wait for our next one in Twin Buttes Nov 14 - 22 of 2024!!! I want to thank you Alisha Anderson from Breakthrough horsemanship for taking notes to share with everyone. You are so professional and represent Lyons Legacy so well. Thank you also to another Lyons legacy student, Josh Carmel for hauling Boon for us and bringing him safely to ND so I could see him again. Thank you Lyons Legacy for once again for doing an AMAZING clinic in ND & for letting me see my best boy No Better Cat (Boon). I love you all so much!!! Josh had a bad cold through part of this clinic but never skipped a beat. He loves every single one of you and it was absolutely amazing seeing the excitement he gets when he sees a rider getting it. Thank you thank you thank you is not even enough! *more pictures coming soon Josh Lyons/Lyons Legacy Josh Lyons Jana Lyons Julie Kuennen Elsie Visser Elsabe Hausauer Twin Buttes Fairgrounds Tara Fredericks
Nothing like a little bit of loping & playing in the misting rain with Maui. I could play with this dude all day. He is fun, quirky & he keeps me in shape. He also lopes way better than me but at least I'm not scared of tractors!🤪🤪🤪Matthew Twenty Two#TRdualRey #cowhorse
Two very different styles of horses but I love that she learns from both. Della(her barrel/pole horse) likes to keep her body straight, likes to run. You don't have to push very hard. Lena (her break away roping/Goat tying horse) likes to roll back or wrap around the barrels...she is ratey & push style. Although Lena's main job is roping & goat tying we still like to keep her tuned up for a back up horse!!! #VersatileHorses
Never to young to do groundwork...but 1st train your kids horse to be broke & mentally sound so they train your kiddo more than what your kiddo train them. It takes years to develop feel and timing for training horses. When the kids are young they don't quite have the feel & timing yet. Putting them on a green horse don't work. At this age the horse trains to your kiddo more than what your kiddo or any trainer or parent ever will!!! ✔️ If you don't want your kiddos to pull on the reins, train your kids horse to not pull on your kiddo!!! ✔️ If you want your kiddo to learn how to steer/guide a horse, put them on a horse who guides really well!!! ✔️If you want to teach your kiddo how to teach a horse to stop, teach your kids horse to stop/back up really well!!! ✔️Last put not least, if you want to teach your kiddo to do groundwork, make sure your kids horse is really good on the ground & pays attention to whoever is holding that lead rope!!! #startThemYoungButStartWithTheHorseFirst ▪️▪️▪️ * Good job to my youngest kiddo (age 6) for being so coachable and always wanting to learn more. She asked me to record her so she can watch it also!!! - Elsabe Hausauer
Been awhile since I share a video of Luna...My 3 yr old fill whom my youngest daughter claim as her future barrel/pole bending Junior high rodeo horse. Its been awhile because I have not had time to ride her lately but nevertheless she is progressing. She is such a big filly, but sweet, sensitive, kind with a tiny splash of opinions. This fall she will get more consistent rides. #MrIlluminatorGranddaughter #rockinpjperformancehorses #3yearold #16RidesTotal Elsabe Hausauer 🎵song credits: Hope Changes everything - by Bart Millard, Francesca Battistelli

Maui's 1st rode & seasoning process. Yesterday was his first rodeo in senior division. He is handling everything so well. He loped his 1st pole pattern at a rodeo and 2nd barrel run away form home. Love this little cow horse & I love that Mandan horse and saddle club has a senior division so parents can season some young & compete with kiddos!!! #DualPep #TRdualRey #MatthewTwentyTwo #SlowAndSteady #consistencyFirst

Getting another one going for the kiddos!!!! This one makes my heart happy. 😍 I love all our horses but this one is my heart horse & I cant stop smiling when I feel his heart when I put him on the barrels & poles. He is figuring it out & loving it. Loped him for the first time through the poles the other night and have been very inconsistently playing with the barrels last year but since Colten is going to need a step up horse soon I better get him solid and enter some jackpots if time allows. I love this little gelding so much (well you all know haha). From the day he lost his mamma to his starting 2 yr old year, major set back 3 year old year, growing and maturing 4 & 5 yr old year to now. I had high hopes of showing him but with kids competitive in rodeo I will keep working on getting them broke and passing them on. I find my joy training at home or cheering at the rodeos to!!! ▪️Maui's Sire is Matthew Twenty Two NCHA money earner by Dual Pep out of producing mare Shorty Lena Pearl LTE $48 486 | PE $70 000+ (Check out his page on facebook) ▪️Dam is a daughter of TR Dual Rey who is powerfully built and can really get in the dirt and dance with the cows.

Someone is pretty excited to be moved up to her sister's horse for youth rodeos. However he was still running barrels and getting points in Junior high high rodeo last year so my oldest is not quite ready yet to say she will give him to her sister but she is enjoying the mares I gave to her...so maybe it will all change. We sure enjoy watching her lope around with so much confidence!!! Elsabe Hausauer
When the kids horse can pick up a walk, trot & lope effortlessly on cue it makes it so much easier for little people (or green riders) to learn how to find their balance. This tiny tot got to upgrade from her pony to a big horse. The stride and impulsion is much bigger but she is working hard & is all in & very coachable!!! Elsabe Hausauer
Luna 🖤 Ride #12 ▪️3 year old filly!!! All my colts for the year have some fast running blood on their papers. Luna is big and tall & a 3/4 sister to Della. She is so sweet and absolutely loves people. Yesterday was her 2nd ride outside of the arena. We loped some hills in the fields then worked on better steering and guiding. Next ride will be around cows!!!! ▪️▪️▪️ I said it many times but will mention again. I absolutely love the horses I purchased from Paul & Penny Fredericks from Rockin' PJ Performance Horses. They have a great breeding program in Twin Buttes and many colts to pick from every year. We have two mares by of their Mr Illuminator stallion. They have proven to not just be fast for rodeo events but also amazing ranch horses. They are built to last!!! Thank you Penny for letting me buy this one from you about a year & half ago!!! #MrIlluminatorGranddaughtet #12rides #Luna #WCRshowumTheBest #barrelpolehorseprospect ▪️▪️▪️ 🎶 Music credits: Faithful to the end: Bethel Music/Paul McClure Elsabe Hausauer
Zolto's 1st Ride!! 💛 #MBRworthitInGold #HomeRaised Starting him brought back so many memories from when I rode his mama when she was a young filly. She was is unbelievably talented, quick, fast, kind, highly intelligent and sensitive but under pressure she was explosive & struggled to self regulate her emotions. She had many quirks when she was young but over time became an amazing horse that my kids can ride all over (even the husband). She was always a little bit more emotional about things and required you to be a horseman....light as possible but firm as necessary. Zolto is just like his mama. He is not a 2 day groundwork, 3rd day riding colt....well maybe for some young cowboys & cowgirls who thinks bucking is fun. But for this rancher I like 1st rides to be as stress free as possible on both myself and my colt. Stress-fee enough to where I am confident getting my colt into a walk, trot & lope. I am so proud of you Zolto. The 9 day groundwork & helping you to self regulate your emotions under pressure was so worth it. What a good boy!!! 💛💛💛💛 Elsabe Hausauer
When the rancher shows up at the rodeo!!! 🤣
No comment other than...better days are coming!! 🤗🎉 #calving2023
