It is officially time to offer this cute kid! If your looking for a cute little ranch horse for your kiddos for Christmas, look no further than Ziggy!!

Ziggy is a three year old grade gelding that stands 14-14.1 hands tall approximately. He’s quiet, friendly and in your pocket. The first horse to meet you in the pasture no matter the time of day. He’s always ready to go to work and rides off the same no matter the weather or how much time off he’s had. He has a nice stop, reins around decently and moves off leg pressure. We’ve swung ropes off him and used flags on him. You can open and close gates, pony other c**ts and sort calves off him. He is a more whoa than go type of horse so do not expect to do anything in a hurry with him. Loads and unloads quietly, stands tied with no problems and is great for the farrier. He currently has a full set of shoes on and is ready to go to work. UTD on shots and deworming but no current coggins.

His *one* downfall, is that prior to coming to me, he had an injury to his left hind that has left a scar. I can provide pictures for anyone interested. I have used him all fall at the sale barn 2/3 days in a row for several hours every day on rocky, uneven ground and concrete and he has only came up sore once so I do not feel this is something that will keep him from doing a hard days work, however I don’t feel like he will be a horse for rodeo or roping due to this and him not caring to go fast.

He is currently located in Newell SD, however I have a trailer headed east In a week or so and could haul him with if someone is interested in him back that direction. A deposit will be required for me to haul him. Owners have listed him at seven zero zero zero or best offer.

Please feel free to message me with any questions! I will be sad to see this boy go but he deserves a great home!

This is from a week or so ago but teaching a young horse to respond to vocal cues on the ground will make it a lot easier getting them to move out under saddle!
This mare only wanted to trot or lope on the lunge line when she first came in so getting her to where she will walk has been a key focus. Once we began saddling she didn’t over react to a cinch or the weight of the saddle but quietly walked off on the circle and listened to what I was asking of her versus just taking off in a trot or lope and working herself up.

As mentioned earlier, a few new horses have been added to the string…but not all have a major purpose. This sweet girl has been a favorite of mine at the trail rides since she was purchased a few years back and together we have dealt with a lot of injuries, sickness and weight gain over the years so she holds a special place in my heart. When she came available this spring, I knew I couldn’t just let her go anywhere, so she became a permanent resident of Lazy K…only in retirement at my parents place in Missouri!😆 she’s been hanging out in the pasture being spoiled, living life and giving my mom a few more gray hairs over the summer and will continue to live out her days with the other retirees and broodmares.

Now…Mystic does not have to be retired and could easily go back to work so with that being said, so long as she stays sound and continues to gain weight, I would consider leasing her to a 4H kiddo to use thru the summer months for shows if anyone was interested. She is located in Missouri and that is where I plan to keep her so it would have to be a Missouri resident. If this is something that interests anyone in Missouri, please feel free to reach out!

Happy Tuesday ya’ll!! It’s the first day of October and we had our first freeze last night so all the ponies were a little frisky this morning!

As we head towards the end of the year, I have a few things to let everyone know. First and foremost is that after a lot of thought and soul searching, I have decided I will not be taking outside horses during the months of November, December, January and February. My initial plan was to be able to take horses during this time frame, however I have been unlucky in finding an indoor facility where I can comfortably work horses without being in the elements and risking a horse getting injured or sick. During this time frame, I plan to focus on my personal horses and goals as both have been pushed aside so client horses could take priority. I have added a couple new horses to the string so my focus will be getting them ready to go for the upcoming rodeo season.

With that being said, the spring books are going to fill up fast and I already have several horses booked starting in March. So if you’d like to get on the books, please let me know soon.

I have a few more housekeeping items I will be posting about in the coming weeks as we continue to round out the year. I appreciate every one of my clients and without you I wouldn’t be able to do everything I do. I have had a lot of wonderful horses and owners to work with this year and I look forward to many more in the coming years! ❤️

Was a busy day around here!! I didn’t get pictures of everybody but 6 horses were worked/rode, two were shoed and a lot of clean up and repairs were done in preparation of the coming winter!!

Still sharing some pictures of this gorgeous little bay pony! This boy hasn’t had a lot done with him since the showdown due to me being on vacation for a week and then new client horses coming in but he hasn’t forgot a thing! He is so ready for someone to continue his riding and just make him an awesome little all around pony! He has the size, shape and moves to go in absolutely any direction!

Not very many pictures but let your horses stand tied! Last night while working all the c**ts, everyone got a little tieing lesson, including my own horses! There was a few little moments where some of the c**ts weren’t too sure about standing tied or got a little impatient seeing their buddies moving around while they were tied up, but by the end of the evening everyone was standing quietly!

This months client horses are all coming along very nicely with several very close to their first rides!

I do have a few openings available throughout the fall if anyone would like to get their horse in for tune ups, to be started, or even basic manners and skills on your weanlings/yearlings!

The youngsters that come in to be started see a lot of miles being ponied and in the trailer going to see different sights and getting to be in a working atmosphere. This evening I had noticed a cow that looked a little bummed up in the back end when I got home so it was a perfect opportunity to saddle up and pony this little gelding out thru the pasture, irrigation ditches and cows. These c**ts get to go quite a few places with me when I go to different arenas, sale barns for work and even just a quick ride to town. This one handled it easily and was honestly more worried about trying to play around with the horse I was riding instead of being scared of different objects/obstacles we came across in the pasture.

Happy Monday Ya’ll!! I hope everyone has a great week!

Check out this cute little three year old gelding that is coming along so nice! From being easy to catch in the pasture to handling everything in stride at the sale barn this kid has the makings to be a super nice little all around horse! He’s currently not available but may soon be on the market so if your looking for a smaller, quiet all around prospect feel free to message me!!

Sometimes it just takes a good saddle horse to get a c**t headed in the right direction! This cool dude likes to try and pull away from people when your leading him so we spent some time tonight ponying off another horse to show him he can’t always be the bigger bully and get away from me. Once he was leading around pretty well I decided to step it up a little and worked on some desensitization and lunging from horse back. This c**t is smart and I’m sure will come around pretty quickly!!
