Faust Performance Horses

Today we said goodbye to our first intern, Paavo. “Parvo” is going into his senior year of high school at Scapoose High. He worked hard all summer feeding horses, cattle, keeping the barn clean, and bringing a smile to work every day! 🤩

We’ll sure miss him.

What earns you points in the show pen?

CONFIDENCE, CONTROL, COW SENSE.

From cutting to boxing and everything in between, every judged cow-working horse event is based on your horse’s ability to maintain control of a cow. As a rider you have to learn to put that cow in the right spot so that you can gain control and set your horse up for success!

Our upcoming cow work clinic June 24th & 25th is guaranteed to help you and your horse put 2 & 2 together while gaining confidence and knowledge in the pen.

Open to all levels of riders and horses.

Call or text Buck at (254)-447-0381 to reserve a clinic spot, or use this link to sign up: https://forms.gle/8xQr8hhZ1RGTJGVR9

Auditors welcome for $25/day.

We’re thankful to have a great farrier to take care of our equine athletes!

Can’t have a good horse without good feet 🐎

Use this as a rule of thumb when you look at your horse's feet! The vast majority of the horses we see have too much toe, which keeps all their tendons stretched out more than they should be, which makes them susceptible to injury and lameness, not to mention tripping.

11/06/2023

At the end of the day, all that we care about is having happy, healthy horses.

Our first Green Horse Advancement clinic May 27th & 28th is coming up fast! This clinic is perfect for horses that are started but are green, people that feel like they are in a “rut” with their training, and for anyone that just wants to spend a whole weekend in the saddle.

We will start out in the round pen, and move onto the arena and spend a little time outside of the arena too!

Call Buck at 254-447-0381 to reserve your spot,

Thank you Proffitt Family Cattle Co. for hosting us! We had a blast working on horsemanship and cattle handling at their cattle farm in North Carolina.

Steve Proffit bought “Murphy” out of the string of horses we took to Billings last year. We are so thankful for their hospitality and enthusiasm to add some new tools to their tool box!

Next stop: New York, May 6th & 7th

We were hoping that our arena would be ready in time for next weekend’s cow clinic but we have received quite a bit of rain in the last 24 hrs. We will have to cancel the April 15th & 16th cow clinic.

Good thing we have multiple clinics lined up every month through the fall! We have a green horse clinic in May and another cow clinic in June. Current and past clients will receive 10% off their clinic tuition.

Some c**ts like to follow a horse when they go outside for the first few times- not Skip! He has it all figured out 😉

Thanks Todd Wylie for giving us the opportunity to start this c**t.
