Happy Mule Day !! Did you know SJR Horsemanship welcomes all equines ! Meet “Raven” a young mule currently in training at our facility. “Raven” is rocking a custom offside halter crafted by Knotty Girlz

Why do you use the equipment that you do on your horse? Tradition? Comfort? Durability? Results ? Cost ? I’ve recently gone down the rabbit hole of evaluating my tack for its effectiveness. I am also always wondering how I can make things easier for my clients and their horses. Check out this deluxe multi-purpose surcingle I’ve been using crafted by Valkyrie Equine!

Pros:
- Front AND unique rear cinch allows you to simulate saddling without the saddle
- Numerous set up options thanks to the easy to adjust rigging and crupper along with the ability to attach a breast collar
- Many rings to attach tools for desensitizing, and for using long lines for ground driving.
- Leather material used is made to last long, while still providing easy mobility for the horse.

So excited about this bridle for Wylie to show in, big thanks for Valkyrie Equine for putting this together!

Blued sterling silver and show harness leather go together like peas and carrots. At least in our opinion.

This set was designed by SJR Horsemanship, if you are interested in shelbys designs reach out to her or us. These will be available soon on our web page.

Busy weekend at the Idaho horse park for the Idaho Spring Double Point Show, Wylie did great and came home with a few awards. We also got to show off our wonderful tack from Valkyrie Equine.

Big thanks for Hickey Horsemanship for sponsoring the Overall Mustang Highpoint for the show!

We just want to congratulate Shelby with SJR Horsemanship on her awesome showing at the 2023 Idaho Spring Double Point Show.

Shelby took Overall High Point for Mustangs as well as Reserve for age group 19-49!

Shelby is one of our partners and does wonderful things with training and showing equines. She designed some amazing training tack with us for her program, its available for purchase through her or direct from us.

Great job as always Shelby, wish we could have come and watched!
