Performance Stock Horses LLC - Dutch Morrow

Performance Stock Horses LLC - Dutch Morrow Professional horseman and trainer with over 20 years experience in the equine industry offering hors During this time he worked specifically with warmbloods.

Dutch began working with horses very early on in life, starting as a child showing in Western Pleasure up through his high school years. His collegiate studies earned him a BS in Equine Science from Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University. Throughout his college career, he focused on equine behavior, breeding, and training. He prepped them for sales, presented ISR Oldenburg at breed insp

ections, and presented young warmbloods in hand and under saddle at sport horse auctions. Following graduation, he did extensive research on equine COPD and developing an EBC (Equine Breath Condensate) for horses. In addition to his extensive knowledge in equine breeding and training, Dutch also worked as an ER Vet Tech. Upon graduation, Dutch focused on sport horses, showing at breed shows throughout the country including dressage at Devon. Following his years with the warmbloods, he transitioned back to his Western Pleasure roots in 2007, partnering with Merry Norton Sharp to build Twilight Farms Horse Training LLC in Winter Garden, FL where he works to this day. Dutch trains primarily in the Western Pleasure and Hunter Under Saddle but welcomes all disciplines. His training methods focus on teaching horses to understand the job expected of them and to use their body properly, which are both fundamental to all riding styles. He trains his human students in both general horsemanship on the ground and proper riding technique in the saddle, focusing on them learning "feel" and effectively communicating with their horse. In his own words...

"I believe it is not our horses' job to get along with us, but our job to get along with them. Far too often we get tunnel vision, hyper focused on our training, and in turn we forget the most important factor when it comes to our horses, their mental health. Without this, we can never achieve the level of communication or the results in the show ring we desire. What matters to me the most is that my horses are confident, respectful, and, above all, content."

A huge congratulations to Mason Sredl and Chunky for an unbelievable end to their very first 4H show season together. Qualifying for local zone show, state, and then moving onto the final regional show that took place in Perry Georgia this past week. Mason and Chunky competed in Western Horsemanship, Trail, and Pleasure. Unlike all the qualifying shows, 10 year old Mason had to compete with kids across 13 states and up to 18 years of age with 60-72 participants per class. Mason and Chunky far surpassed our expectations, earning a top 10 in horsemanship, Top 5 in trail. And after 4 splits, the judge picked the top 15 kids to come back to compete in the evening for western pleasure finals. Mason and Chunky had a beautiful go and were placed FIRST and Class Champions out of 60 kids!!!
To say I’m proud of these two would be an understatement. Mason, the amount of natural talent you have to ride is unbelievable. That paired with your hard work, riding almost every day has brought you here. I push you to be better, but I promise you do the same for me. This success would not have been possible without such an amazing team we have built.
Thanks to Grand Oaks and the entire staff for providing such an amazing facility to train out of. Ryan, without you, there would be none of this. Your selflessness and your drive makes me strive to be better every single day. Myself, nor this business would be what it is without you.
Merry Sharp, without your giving heart, none of this would have been possible. For you to allow this family the chance to have such an amazing animal, at a time their life when so much hope was lost speaks volumes of your character. And you literally gave Keri a third and favorite son πŸ˜†β™₯️
And to the entire Sredl family, it has been such a highlight in my life to work so closely with you, and to become my closest friends/family. Braden thank you so much for helping working so hard at the barn, and it has been such a pleasure watching you make your way into roping, I see so much success in your future. Your work ethic is unmatched and unbelievable for someone so young. Ricky, to watch your dedication not only as a father, but to your craft as a farrier has been an honor. You are teaching these boys that hard work yields success, not only with words but by example.
Last but certainly not least, Keri, your dedication to our business, your boys, and to Chunky is so unbelievably admirable. You work tirelessly for the well being of your boys, Chunky, and for the business. There is not even a word in the English language to express my gratitude β™₯️
Cheers to the end of an amazing show season, and many more to come.

Always an exciting moment when training is taken to new heights 🐎

Introducing: Dauntless WSF (Davos CF X Quebec X Landslide) 2020 Westphalian Mare

This gorgeous mare was entrusted to start her riding career with Dutch Morrow-Performance Stock Horses. She has been undersaddle for about 6 weeks and is proving to be one of the kindest, most reliable young Warmbloods I have ever started. She is being offered for sale and would make an amazing addition to any amateur, young rider and/or training program. Please text me directly at (352)425-6529 for further details.

A HUGE congratulations to Kristin/Sandra Farris and Irish Magnolias Black Magic. I have had the pleasure of training this magnificent stallion for the past year and a half. He has won the hearts of myself and all those that have surrounded him. And just when I feel this horse has given myself and his owners every ounce of his kind soul, he steps it up another notch. Due to an influx of training horses I was unable to attend the week long feathered horse classic horse show. We prepared accordingly and Kristin and magic literally practiced through wind and rain, running through their trail courses repeatedly, and working on getting that perfect consistent movement as they traveled around the arena.

An extremely difficult decision on my part, loading Magic on the trailer and sending a stallion off to a show with his amateur owner is something I could never see doing. That being said, Magic is an anomaly, a once in a lifetime stallion. To say I trust, truly respect and love him is an understatement. And the gravity of sending him to a show without my guidance, showing with a catch rider and his amateur owner is by no means lost on me. What this horse did this past week is nothing short of phenomenal, and proves who he is at his core; A kind hearted, trustworthy, athletic stallion.
For anyone reading this, that may be looking for a stallion service for their gypsy mare, and or breeding for a gypsy cross I say look no further. Magic has free flowing, balanced movement from behind that travels right through his shoulders, and has an otherworldly temperament. (Contact owner Kristin Farris: [email protected] for stud services and pricing)

It has been a TRUE honor working along side this one of a kind stallion, and PSH wishes him all the best as he begins to focus on his driving career β™₯️ There is No doubt in my mind I will see Magic competing at Grand Oaks in combined driving events in the near future, the sky’s the limit with this stallion.

And anyone out there with a Magic c**t or Filly please contact me for training. I would be honored to continue this stallions legacy!
