Thank you for your business! It has been such a privilege working horses for you all these last few years. The build of Sells Lake Ranch and our training program required a lot of support, and we appreciate you. Thank you all who trusted us with training of your horses, liked and shared our posts, sent us referrals, and wrote positive reviews for your experiences! While we have decided to relocate our program outside of the Midwest, we just wanted to say thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! We hope you can follow along as we make adjustments to our platform.
Happy Trails until we ride again!

The weather is perfect for working outside in the arena. After just a few low pressure sessions Champ has already an understanding for the departure cue, developed control of the shoulder, bend in the rib, and hind quarters, understands direction, understands driving forward, makes a walk to trot transition, disengages his hindquarters, draws in, and even softens to the hand. All while using nothing more than being aware of how I’m applying the pressure with my body. Can you see that increasing the speed to the trot is all the increase he can handle for the time being? Follow our page today as we use natural horsemanship to start Champ under saddle!
