𝒜𝓃 𝐸𝒞 𝐵𝓁𝑜𝑔 𝒷𝓎 𝒦𝒶𝓉𝒽𝓁𝑒𝑒𝓃 𝐵𝑒𝒸𝓀𝒽𝒶𝓂 - 𝓘𝓷𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓿𝓮𝓷𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓭

Years ago, I had a baby horse, and when he was about 18 months old, I had the opportunity to have an equine chiropractor work on him. He was wiggly and squirrelly, and I apologized to the chiropractor for that. “That’s okay,” she said, “Little babies haven’t learned how to be inconvenienced yet.”

That was big for me. So big. “𝓘𝓷𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓿𝓮𝓷𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓭.” I hadn’t thought of that before, but it was the perfect word for it. We don’t want our horse to tolerate being hurt, or being treated unfairly, but he dang sure needs to be able to be inconvenienced.

From that day forward, “being inconvenienced” became a more thoughtful part of my horse work. The ability to be inconvenienced and be resilient about it - it’s a skill. It’s a skill for people, it’s a skill in dogs, and it’s a skill in horses. It’s a skill that needs to be purposefully taught, and then carefully developed and expanded over time.

Curbside Cowboy 🤠

15.2+(should finish out at 15.3) 4 yo all around gelding by mult World/Congress Champ sire— How Bout This Cowboy, out of A Good Machine mare.

“Curbie” is a quiet, easy, and straightforward gelding looking for his show partner. If you’re looking for a consistent horse you can put anyone on, young or old, this is the horse you need to come see. He enjoys being turned out with others, has gone on trail rides, been hauled to shows, clips well, stands tied, takes minimal lunging, and is ready to go in any direction. Can extend out for English, and jog nice and slow as well. Has a deep hock at the lope and is very smooth to sit at all gates. His owner is in her 70’s and downsizing, but she comes to ride him weekly and he packs her around safely no problem. There’s not many horses out there you can give a lesson on while the Blue Angels fly overhead! ✈️

https://youtu.be/gTJtRo9fro0?si=W1K9CUxVoftYrWZ9

Curbie is utd on all worming, vaccines, dental, and is barefoot. He has never been injected and PPEs are welcome at buyer’s expense.
Priced to sell in the lower 5 figures. (1x,###)

Located in McMinnville, OR — an hour SE of Portland

A big congratulations to Brooklyn Davis & family on the purchase of RTR Only She’s Invited!

RTR Only She’s Invited
2016 15.2h APHA/Pinto overo mare
By Appointment Only x JZA
“Reba” came in about 60 days ago for a refresher and to find her new home. She is a state qualifier for OHSET/4H, and regularly places in the top placings at your weekend shows. She is very correct, great feet/bone, and has never had been injected. Not only has she shown in the performance pen, but she has also pushed cattle, and trail rides like a dream! This is a fantastic all around starter horse for a youth. She is ready to go for your weekend shows, but could use a little more finishing in her lope if you wanted to show breed shows. She has a green leadchange as well. Show her now, breed her later! No vices. Priced to sell in the lower 5 figures.

Couldn’t forget to post about Oregon Quarter Horse Assoc SweetHeart Classic show we attended last weekend! Many laughs were shared among our fun group 😄
These shows are a great place to work out the bugs and also fantastic to haul new ones to ride around! We brought a handful of each and made great progress for all!⤵️
Special shout-out to “Moose”, our homebred 2yo now owned by Alyssa Hill, on handling traffic great and successfully riding around at his first show🤠

This green bean team is figuring out these new events together step by step. Some strong parts in patterns and a couple bobbles. Overall a lot of learning and taking something away from the pen each time they step in it!

The prettiest boy of them all had a successful second showing. Our red-eye-flight-queen Kaitlin flew in to show directly that afternoon Friday and through the weekend. With Kaitlin’s confidence, CJ is learning to be much more relaxed and soft in their showing experiences. I always talk about being a good partner for your horse in the pen, way to embody that K 💙

Wanted to thank OQHA for having the Winter Breakout show this last weekend! It was a perfect place to bring our “green” group and get some time in the pen doing new events. Proud of our new teams and what they learned over the weekend!

Very proud of this mare and this new team! “Annie” went from being a back burner trainer owned horse(guilty as charged🙋‍♀️) this time last year, to stepping up to the plate and learning a multitude of new events over the fall and winter season. We always talk about being the best partner for your horse and helping set them up for success in the pen. Even though Baylie is also new to all of these classes and events, she did a fantastic job in being a mindful show partner for Annie. That is what a great foundation is built on! Excited to see how they progress this year.

Our second oldest homebred boy finally got to make his showing debut! Although owner Kaitlin is definitely comfortable in the pen(years of college riding competitions will do that), we realized this was actually her debut in the Amateur arena this weekend! 🤗 “CJ” handled both outings in the pen well. You really never know what to expect taking in a young wary horse into their first pattern events. But thanks to Kaitlin’s confidence, CJ had a great first experience and got the jumpstart on his all around show career! No surprise to us he also earned his first honors in the handsome department. 😉

Tall, dark, and handsome! “Cooper” is a sweet guy looking for his new home. He has been a great starter show horse for his last family, and is ready to move on to the next. Although his height may be intimidating, Cooper is kind, quiet, and is a great mount for a kid. He is especially used to the mounting block and is very patient for those willing to climb up. 😉 Cooper came in just over a month ago for a tune up, and is ready to go show. He has never been injected, wears minimal flat shoes upfront, no vices, and is very straightforward and safe. No matter the weather, he is ready to ride with minimal prep. Solid mount for someone wanting to hit the weekend shows. Many 4H championships, and all around titles to his name! Cooper would be a great addition to anyone’s barn or lesson program!

This morning we laid to rest a beloved partner in our barn ❤️‍🩹🕊
Condolences to Tatum Goode and family on the loss of “Elroy” aka Same Old Interest. He was a kind, beautiful soul that taught you so much and was there for many of your firsts. He will be missed greatly. 💔❤️
I believe this poem sums it up:

The best horses in Heaven
they have no tail.
This is a rule they all know
without fail.
For when a new horse arrives
with a short cut bob,
they all know that this horse
did a very good job.

His owner could not bear
to part with her friend
so she saved his tail,
wrapped in ribbons
and in braids,
to hold with his memory
in a very loving way.

To enter Heaven
without a tail
is an honor,
a message,
that without fail
announces to everyone,
far and wide
that this horse
was more than a wonderful ride.

But
this horse was loved and cherished by one
and when his time serving on this Earth was done
he left behind
a broken heart
and a soul
from which he never will part.

RIP Same Old Interest

For all my ranch riding and VRH competing friends, this is a c**t you need to check out! “Patron” came in the barn a few months ago to be started and handled. He is very respectful, eager to work/learn, and excels with every ride! Patron ties excellent, hobbles, ponies, and does everything you could expect a 2yo to know. He has a great feel under saddle and is very sensitive and handy. Super athletic c**t that should excel in anything you put him in. Would love to see him continue on and make a name for himself!
