We are going to be offering this cute guy for lease! Silver is an 18 year old AQHA gelding who has extensive show experience. He is currently used in a lesson program and is safe for beginners and fancy enough for an experienced rider. He does have moderate arthritis in his hocks which he is treated for regularly. The arthritis doesn’t bother him as long as he gets a chance to warm up and stretch out before going to work. He has been shown English, western pleasure and most recently in the ranch horse events. He can be tough and because of that I would say he’s best suited for an adult or strong youth. No buck, kick, bite or rear. He’s as steady as they come. He has been trail ridden, does all the groundwork, takes a bit like a gentleman and also rides bit less. We are looking for an ON SITE lease only. We have tack that fits him which is what we ask to be used on him. If you’re interested please PM us for more information.

HORSES IN TRAINING…

You pay that hefty training bill for the month.

You look to have you horse in training as little as possible so it doesn’t break the bank.

You’re disappointed when after 30 days or 60 days or 90 days, there’s still more work to be done or the goal hasn’t been met. Worse yet, it looks good, you take the horse home and it unravels piece by piece. All that money “wasted”.

When you pay a trainer, that money isn’t paying for a result, it’s paying for someone’s skilled effort.

At least for me, when someone gets unhappy that their horse “isn’t fixed yet”, or comes “untrained” after it’s been home a while, makes the task of training horses for other people, discouraging. Discouraging because the efforts are being made, usually my best efforts that are filled with compassion, determination and lots of ruminating on how to fix complex issues a horse may have. Their disappointment becomes my failure basically. I know that’s not an actual truth but it’s never rewarding when someone is disappointed due to their own expectations.

Training a horse is NOT like being a mechanic on a car. Its not a tune up, it’s not the simple replacement of a part. It’s an animal with thoughts, feelings, emotions, habits, talents, etc. You don’t just program them, tune them up or replace a faulty part and send it back good as new.

You arent paying for results to happen within your timeline, you are paying for the time it takes to reach a desired result. The more complicated the project, the bigger the investment. The more baggage a horse has, the more effort it takes to unravel the mess. The bigger the goal, the greater the investment.

People send their horses to certain trainers because they want the outcome that trainer proves they can achieve. The problem is, people want that result in the shortest time frame possible because time, again, is money. It takes the time it takes to create the vision and time costs money. People who have a diy mentality, value the effort so much more when they themselves invest their own energy into a horse rather than just paying for it. I really feel that those who do it themselves, come to appreciate the efforts it takes far more than those who sign the check.

Be nice to your trainers, they work hard for you and your horse!

Look at this guy! He continues to improve with each session and we’ve started cleaning up some of our fundamentals under saddle. I could not be happier with his progression and I am so excited to see how far we can get with him! He has some very lucky people waiting for him at home because he is one in a million💜 Good boy Red!

This young man continues to improve! We have taken things slow with him to make sure there are no gaps in his training. My biggest concern when working with a young horse is confidence, confidence, confidence! Without it bad habits and fear can develop and I want to be able to send these guys home knowing they’re sure of the process. This is our second ride outside of the round pen and we’re working on simple steering, forward motion and most importantly developing good brakes! I teach all of the upward and downward transitions slowly on the ground first and because of this, I can say “woah” and Red knows what that means. I am so happy with how we are progressing and with each session he gains more confidence. Starting horses the right way is a slow process but boy does all that extra time pay off in the end! Good boy Red!
