Dan Dyke Horse Training and Missouri Foxtrotters

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!

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.

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.

Ruby, approximately 2 weeks into a refresher.

Ruby’s first trail ride and she did fantastic. She led most of the ride, but was also settled following. She crossed water and a bridge, saw hikers and deer.  Ruby came to us so we can prepare her for her owner to enjoy the trails with her. She had already been started, but needs more experience.
