Let’s try again!

SMOKIN RJ TRU
Sticks at 15.2-15.3
Sane and Sound
Currently Barefoot

Ultimate all around gelding,
RJ has been in over 90 days of professional training, 60 of that with us!
He is soft, willing, forgiving, and kind.
Absolutely no buck, bite, kick or rear. Great stop, tracks cattle great, great trail horse. He has been started on the dummy and has roped live cattle in the pasture. Used to doctor, used in the branding pen, and for all other aspects of ranch work.
He lopes pretty circles, knows his leads, soft in the mouth. Throw him a loose rein or gather him up he rates to your seat wonderfully.

Good to load, bathe, shoe.

He has potential in the barrel pen, roping arena, ranch versatility, and trail horse deluxe! He has been an absolute dream to have in our barn. Would throw anyone on him with zero hesitation.

Scoop him up!

Come try him at the barn!

What a wonderful summer it has been!
As fall and winter creeps up on us, we have a couple changes coming to our program.

We will be taking a limited number of horses in starting in November/December as winter starts to roll in.

There will only be 2 c**ts accepted into our program (60 day minimum) per month and only 4 other green horses/tune ups accepted per month. (45 day minimum)

** Tune up horse contracts are available for a discounted rate**
-Includes 3-4 days of riding per week (to keep excersized and in shape) and hay only, owner must provide grain if wanted.

With the cold temps and shorter days, we want lower numbers so we can really focus and give each horse the attention it deserves.

Spring of 2025 will resume as normal and is filling up fast! Get on our books today!

‼️5 THINGS YOU CAN DO BEFORE SENDING YOUR COLTS TO THE TRAINER ‼️

We get asked a lot from folks on our waiting list, “what can I start doing with my c**t before I send them?”
Great question!

1.) Make sure they are relatively easy to catch!
-this makes our lives easier, and we don’t have to spend time trying to catch your horse, instead we can use that time to teach them under saddle! Use your time wisely, to help us spend our time productively!

2.) Teach them to stand tied
-horses that already know how to stand tied, already know how to release to pressure and have started learning how to self soothe. We LOVE when babies come in already knowing how to stand tied. It makes saddling and handling just that much easier.

3.) Take them on walks!
-hand walk those babies or pony them around your property. It makes them that much more confident and that much better in hand and in a halter. Just 10-15 minutes a couple times a week does wonders for those baby brains!

4.) Pick up their feet!
-It’s a very simple task that most people skip! It’s one of the first things we do when we get your c**t to our barn: get control of those feet. If they already know how to pick them up and hold them, they are that much more ahead of the game!

5.) Groom them!
-make sure they are used to being touched all over! Spray them down with a hose if you like!

Don’t do anything you are uncomfortable with. Don’t saddle them for the first time if you aren’t keen on first saddlings or first rides. Don’t do a bunch of ground work if you’re not super sure what you are trying to achieve. 9/10 we have to re-do the ground work anyway for our program! Let that horse have a fresh slate when going to school ☺️ and if you want to learn how to do all those things, come on out and we will show you the ropes!

As always, if you have any questions, we are just a phone call or a message away!

Due to extreme weather moving in, and for the safety of the horses and for our sanity 🤪
We will not be working horses until the temp rises next week.

This also means lessons are cancelled until further notice. Please get ahold of Raina to get back on the books or to re-schedule pickup/drop off if you are waiting on that as well!

Horses will be rotated in and out of the barn, plenty of hay, blankets where needed, and fresh water.

Please feel free to drop a blanket or any supplements off that you might want for your horse.

Stay warm everyone! Luckily it looks like the negatives will be short lived and we can’t wait to get back to riding! ☺️

Picture One and Two.

First saddling for this handsome guy 😍

Let them be curious, let them be cautious.
Don’t sneak around them, don’t dumb it down for them.

They are toddlers essentially.
They ARE going to learn that 2+2=4 in school. Plain and simple.

But it’s going to be a lot harder for them to learn that equation if you let them think that, 2+2=(5-2)+attitude.

Treat them fair, let them be curious, let them be hesitant, but never change the question.

Reward the try, but praise the CORRECT answer.

This guys first saddling was quiet, fair, and thoughtful. Just how we expect the first ride to go. Foundation is everything
