P.S. How lucky am I that I have been able to drive this truck around all these years! My high school ride still going strong. Thanks to Harold Duncan and Linda Duncan for all they have done for me, if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be living the dream! And big thanks for everyone that has had a hand into keeping Stella running! 🩷🛢️

SOLD!!!
Own son of WGC I AM JOSE!! Don’t miss the opportunity to call this handsome fella yours! He’s as broke as they come, will match a riders ability, and has all the potential to go back into the show ring! He’s approximately 15.2 and still growing. No vices and is the perfect gentleman! He can be seen here on the farm. If I personally was still riding TWHs I would purchase him myself!! UTD and ready to go!

🛢Maddie and Apollo are getting better at learning the ins and outs of competition and are continuing that strive for perfection.

🛢Lacey came through with the fastest time for us over the weekend and Piper is continuing to improve as a competitive barrel horse! Got to love schooling the young ones!

Groundwork. If you don’t do your groundwork first your just asking for a disaster.

Every horse looks for someone to lead them, guide them, and help them manage in life. When we bring them into this world on our own, or in Morgan’s case, from the wild; we owe it to them to give it our best try. Our best at teaching them the ins and outs of what we call horsemanship.

Can I cowboy a horse? Absolutely. I’ve broke 90% of the horses I’ve shown and been successful on. Do I want to cowboy them? Absolutely not. I want this to be the easiest transition they can possibly have. When I think of the term “cowboy a horse”, in my book that means if s**t hits the fan can you handle? Yes I can. That doesn’t mean let’er buck it out and hang on and it will eventually learn. Now does that method work. I’m sure it does for some people. It’s just not my style. I’m not getting any younger.

If I can take all the necessary steps before I ever swing a leg across their back, I usually can skip a lot of that. Not only for my safety, but the horses also. Lunging, saddling, standing tied, flexing, line—driving, etc. If I put all those together, which may take a week with some, a couple weeks with others, I can usually work out the kinks and the only thing I’m introducing new at that point is rider weight.

This video is proof. Two weeks of work on a horse that was pushy, wouldn’t stand tied, pulled back and broke halters and leads, and needed to earn respect; and this was our first ride. A nice walk around the outdoor arena, on a loose rein, relaxed, and willing to learn.

Now I’m not saying if you do everything right on the ground that you won’t have a hick-up in the saddle once the time comes. So let’s go back to talking about what my definition of “cowboying a horse”. When it all comes to a head and the horse gets excited and wants to buck, rear, or runaway; they have enough respect for that snaffle and know what pressure is to give me their head and turn a circle. This has saved my ass more than once.

So think about this next time your working your horse. Do they know the basics? How can you help guide them through life?

Stay cool my friends!
