Frosty day checking cows 🥶❄️🌬

𝗟𝗶𝗹 𝗕𝗶𝘁 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗰 is a 2020 mare by Magneticat.
She is cowy, smart, and has a big heart. She has been in full time training with us and is coming along nicely. She is feely and a thinker. Her first cow horse show was in June of 2024, where she showed a lot of promise on a cow. While she is not quite competitive enough for open-level cow horse competition, she is a solid prospect for an advanced Non Pro. She has a great foundation and could easily transition into the roping pen with confidence. She is gritty, fast, and has a lot of try.

He is a coming six year old and is taking nicely to the bridle. With a little more training he will be a great rope horse. His easygoing nature and skill will help him excel in any direction you choose.

Part of what we do...

Using horses to check cattle in the feed lot helps keep their minds fresh, gives their training practical application, and changes up their routine.
