Goldie is a 3 year old out of Hollywood Pl***oy. She is already demonstrating that she has a willing attitude, smooth gait, confidence and a good mind. This is her third time out on the trail. Because she had a lot of consistent groundwork and clear expectations, she took it all in stride.

Mr. D is offering a new service. If you are out of gas, he can bring you fuel. If you are camping, he can bring you water. He can haul groceries, laundry, you name it. He’s your guy!

In all seriousness, Mr. D was goofing around in the arena while Dan worked a client horse in the round pen. Mr. D was interested in the cans, so why not? Good minded young c**t!

Benefits:

⚫️ Your farrier and veterinarian will appreciate you
⚫️ You will be able to load your horse into a trailer without a fight
⚫️ Your horse will be safer to handle
⚫️ Training under saddle at the appropriate time will be smoother on your horse, as they are already ahead of the game

Message or call Dan for more info!

Horses travel every day for a number of reasons—to be bought and sold, for competition, for breeding purposes, etc. Whether your horse travels by road or by air, horse owners need to be aware of the complications that may occur due to transportation, including traumatic injuries, diarrhea, muscular problems, respiratory problems, overheating, colic, and even laminitis (in the case of overweight horses).

Following are a few tips to help your equine friend maintain good health and welfare during transport. This list is by no means complete and we encourage you to read "Practical Guidelines to Assess Fitness for Transport of Equidae” to find additional advice. This document will also help you understand regulations and avoid penalties for being out of compliance: https://tinyurl.com/yck9cz86

• Inadequate management of feed and water intake during travel could cause colic, gastric ulceration and heat stress. Food and water should be provided prior to transport, during regular rest breaks and upon arrival at destination.
• Ensure your horse’s immunizations are up to date against respiratory pathogens to protect your animal from these diseases.
• The horse should be rested before the journey, given rest stops during travel and have time to recover on arrival at the destination.
• The vehicle should be well-ventilated to help prevent respiratory problems or overheating.
• Drive slowly and carefully (NO TEXTING, avoid driving when fatigued or eating while driving, etc.) to provide a comfortable journey for the animal and reduce the risk of injury and fatigue.

As always, your veterinarian remains your best resource. If you have questions, consult your horse doctor about preparing your equine friend for travel and keeping them safe!

Our client picked up her mare and took her straight to an organized big ride! She said Haddie was perfect! Haddie is a 4 year old MFT that we lightly started for 30 days last fall, then she came back to finish up training. We really like this method for youngsters.

Rosie (Quarter Horse/Foxtrotter cross) is traveling down the trail nicely. She had her first ride at Busiek today and encountered hikers, dogs, water, some very tough terrain and busy parking lots.

Just for fun!

Bella’s second trail ride. Bella spent a month with us last fall for kindergarten, which provided her with an excellent foundation. She went back home over winter, and grew mentally and physically. This is the plan we recommend.

Because Bella had the foundation she needed, her saddle time is going very smooth. You will see in the video she is going down the trail smooth and relaxed, no tight rein. Dan is able to swing the rope, and it doesn’t faze her.
