Shadbolt Horse Training

Horse training with specialization in starting c**ts and finishing horses in all aspects of ranch work. We can cater to your needs as well as your horse’s.

Shadbolt Horse Training is a business built on the collective work of the Shadbolt family, primarily the father-daughter team Quentin and Jordan Sanders. Quentin has 20+ years of experience starting c**ts for customers and Jordan has 12 years in the business as well. Horses are a way of life for us and we use them personally for all cattle work on the ranch. Customer horses are exposed to moving a

nd sorting cattle as well as roping. We have access to thousands of acres of land on which horses learn to move out and travel well. After 30 sessions, a young horse with no previous training is usually expected to flex easily, collect, move their hip and shoulder, stop on 'whoa', back up, sidepass, open and close gates, swing a rope, move comfortably at all gaits, pick up both leads, load in the trailer, as well as have respectable manners and stand tied. We are very flexible and no two horses are trained exactly the same. We primarily start c**ts but can also put a tuneup on any horse and train barrel racing prospects. We put a foundation on a c**t that will allow them to go in any direction. We love what we do and we value your business. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have and/or to bring us a horse by phone, email, or Facebook.

Last week these two did their first day of heavy ranching duty. They helped move 3 bunches of cattle and put in a long day, covering many miles.

This is the first time loping Biscuit, who has been pretty easy going and soft. This is also the first time asking him to back up.

This is a combination of a couple sessions - one of the 4th or 5th session and then of his 10th which is his first time riding with forward motion. Harley has a broncy tendency and a more nervous personality but is coming around. We always do our best to make sure the preparation has been done so that the first ride is ‘boring’.

Better late than never? Tony aka Toothless (like the cartoon dragon) went home some time ago but I’m finally getting around to posting some video of his progress.

Vegas and Goose are finishing up 60 sessions of training with us. Today they helped us treat some baby calves with gunky eyes. The wind was blowing an actual 45 miles an hour today. Nothing fazed these guys though and they were both great.

This is Goose, who has 30 sessions with us. This is his first exposure to tracking live cattle. He already lays his ears back and seems like he’s going to watch a cow.

I’m usually riding by myself these days and haven’t taken much video of Tia and MJ, who have been here the last couple months building on the training that we put on them last year. But I have taken a few clips here and there from when we take them both out to go do a job. Garrett has been riding MJ when we go do cattle work. These two have had some great experience on the ranch.

This is a super sweet filly owned by Butch and Janie Tinant and from the Ruzsa Quarter Horses program. This is a bit from session 6, and her 3rd ride. I think this is the easiest c**t I’ve started in a long time!

Spartan has been a very difficult student but he’s progressing. Every horse has their own timeline.

King was started with us last year and is back for a tuneup. This is session 5 of this go round, working on loping circles and developing softness in the rib cage.

Session 10 on this gelding Spartan. We always take the steps to make sure a horse is mentally prepared, that mitigates the chances of having one buck. But some times it can’t be helped, in which case it pays to be sticky!

Style went out on his first real job last week, moving some cows several miles. Atlas went too, and they both were very good.
