🌟 Evaluation Day for Rocky! 🌟

Today we welcomed Rocky, a stunning 4-year-old Arabian gelding, into training. Rocky is unbroke, highly reactive, and lacking the confidence he needs to thrive. He’s got a beautiful spirit, but right now, fear often takes the lead.

This journey is going to be all about helping Rocky find trust—in himself and in his handler. We’ll be laying down a strong foundation, step by step, to bring out the brave, willing partner we know he can be.

🐴 Follow along as we share updates on Rocky’s progress, challenges, and milestones. It’s going to be an incredible transformation, and you won’t want to miss a moment! 🐴

Here at Rocking Speer Ranch, we specialize in building trust and confidence through proven training methods. If you have a horse that needs guidance, let’s chat!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Today is a day that we give thanks for the year. However, I believe we should give thanks every day, the good or the bad, because there is always something to be thankful for through God. As many of you know Joshua Speer and I have expanded our business, and I took a leap of faith. This year God called on me to start a different path in my career, from nursing full time and training part time, to transitioning to training full time and nursing part time. I’m very THANKFUL that GOD gave me the opportunity to go to the Josh Lyons/Lyons Legacy certification and accreditation this spring and fall. I spent 12 weeks bettering my training abilities and it has definitely shown a difference! We are excited to see what this journey has in store for us, we see great things coming! Remember this season don’t just be THANKFUL one day a year, be THANKFUL every day of the year and watch your life transform!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!! 🦃 🦃🦃🦃

Pictures are worth 1000 words!! My Queen Bee 🐝 and I showing what we are made of!! This horse is the epitome of a heart horse! This summer I almost lost her to tying up which is like rhabdo in horses. But this weekend she showed me she is making a comeback and not to give up on her!! I can’t explain in words what this horse means to me. She is an underdog: she is blind in her left eye, she is a Hancock ranch horse, and she came back from tying up!! She may not be the fastest, but she has a heart that doesn’t quit!!!

Hi everyone, I’m Teresa, owner and trainer at Rocking Speer Ranch. Horses have been a part of my life since I was young, and this passion has only grown over the years. I’m grateful to share that passion through my work every day. With a degree in equine science focused on training and stable management, along with my certification as a Josh Lyons/Lyons Legacy Certified and Accredited Trainer, I’m dedicated to helping each horse reach its highest potential through effective, proven methods. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing a horse develop confidence, trust, and responsiveness.

What Makes My Approach Unique?

🔹 Reining Foundation: I believe every horse benefits from a strong reining foundation, which develops essential control, balance, and responsiveness. This foundation creates a horse that’s not only more versatile but also safer and more enjoyable for any discipline. By mastering these skills, horses learn to be confident and attentive partners.

🔹 Foundation & Groundwork: I build a solid foundation through consistent groundwork and saddle training. This approach develops trust, respect, and clear communication, which is key to a successful training relationship.

🔹 Behavioral & Confidence Training: Horses learn best when they feel secure and understand what’s expected. My training encourages confidence and addresses any behavioral challenges, shaping horses that are calm, respectful, and ready to take on new tasks.

🔹 Performance & Barrel Racing: For competitive riders, I offer specialized training to sharpen skills and enhance performance, particularly in barrel racing. I know the dedication it takes to succeed, and I’m here to support both you and your horse on that path.

If you’re looking for a trainer with proven methods and a passion for building confident, well-rounded horses, I’d love to work with you. Let’s start this journey together at Rocking Speer Ranch!

🐴 The Power of Mark Training for Your Horse’s Development 🐴

At Rocking Speer Ranch, we believe that mark training is a foundational tool in shaping a horse’s behavior, confidence, and trust. Mark training uses consistent, clear signals that help horses understand exactly when they’re on the right path, reinforcing positive behaviors and building a deeper connection between horse and trainer.

Why is Mark Training Important?

✅ Builds Clear Communication: Horses naturally respond to clear, consistent cues. Mark training gives them immediate feedback, helping them understand exactly what we’re asking them to do. This reduces confusion and builds trust, as the horse learns that positive behavior leads to rewards.

✅ Encourages Confidence: Horses trained with this approach learn faster, gain confidence, and become more willing to try new things. The steady reinforcement helps them overcome uncertainty, making them calmer and more responsive in a variety of situations.

✅ Promotes Better Behavior: Mark training is invaluable for improving a horse’s overall behavior. Whether you’re addressing ground manners, trailer loading, or more advanced performance training, this method lays a foundation of cooperation and respect.

In our training program, we use mark training to guide horses toward their best selves, creating reliable, balanced, and willing partners. Whether you’re starting a young horse or refining skills in an experienced one, mark training is a crucial part of shaping a well-rounded, successful horse.
