We can’t wait to see what this little shaggy filly will do and excited to see how she will shed out. She sure has some chrome! Quarter horse/ gypsy vanner cross. She will definitely stand out in the ranch classes.

Finally got to go for a ride just for fun yesterday evening. We got to thinking… the last time we rode for fun (no client horses or no green horses) was last year when Stalon Robinson proposed on April 1st 2023! At least we didn’t let it go a full year without going for a “just for fun ride.”

It was really nice but, really and truly, our business is our passion and it consumes us daily. We both know we were called to serve people and help them and their horses develop connection at another level. We love what we do and appreciate everyone who joins us in our journey!

🩹Some pictures of our advanced and basic Equi-First Aid classes this last weekend. Thank you everyone who took the time to come out and learn how to better help their horses in an emergency and learn about equine health in general. I enjoyed all the laughs and conversations we got to have while diving deep into how we can take care of our horses to the best of our ability. It was so nice to meet each and everyone of you!

We had some awesome patients that put up with all our shenanigans thanks to Kyra Haggerty with Apex Stables Spokane.

Spring is here and ti’s the season for finding the perfect horse trainer!

As spring approaches horse people in the NW are looking for the right trainer to work with. As a horse trainer, my inbox has been flooded with training inquiry’s. All the conversations seem to go the same, kind of like this… “Hello, I am interested in getting my horse in for training this spring. How much do you charge? I only want 30 days.” Don’t get me wrong, we appreciate any inquiries and are happy to be a resource but here is my concern.
We totally understand that budget plays a big role in sending a horse into training but we are missing out on discussing the topic of value. Out of all the inquiries, we have only been asked a few and we literally mean a few times, “what is your experience? How many horses have you worked with? How long have you been training horses? Do you have any titles?” These are questions that pertain to the value you are getting with your horse trainer and very valid questions to ask.
When looking for a trainer, please be mindful of what kind of value you are getting. You are making an investment and commitment to your horse. Please don’t cut corners and please make sure you are sending your horse to someone that is trustworthy. We have all heard horror stories of horses being neglected or beat down to make the owner happy. Let’s change the standard!
I have made a list of 10 questions that you can ask a trainer you are interested in to ensure you are getting value for your hard earned money.

1. What is your experience?
2. How long have you been training horses for?
3. How many horses have you worked with?
4. What disciplines do you specialize in?
5. Do you have references?
6. Have you won any titles?
7. Any certifications? (For example equine bodywork, nutrition, farrier, or first aid)
8. Why types of horses do you have experience with?
9. How much training do you recommend for my horse and goals?
10. Do you have a resume?

Some things to keep in mind… 30 days is not enough time to get your horse broke broke without beating your horse into submission or having holes in them. 30 days puts a lot of pressure on your trainer to get things out of your horse they may not be ready for. We have seen this stress get to trainers and they tend to become unfair with horses to please the owner. Your horse is an investment and can depreciate quickly if in the wrong hands. A page only tells so much of the story. Meet your trainers and get to know them and their values!

In the horse world we have all heard the saying “if you ask your horse for 1% each day, in 100 days you will have a horse that is 100% better.” However we never ask our horses for 1%. We have found to create truly willingly guided horses you must ask for just the TRY. We don’t even care if they are 1% worse from yesterday. As long as they are giving us try we reward it. You will find your horses will start to think for themselves and give you everything they have for that day.

Now booking for clinics and training for the 2024 season.

C**t starting availability is limited as we will be hauling to clinics and shows for the 2024 season. If you want your young horse hauled to horsemanship, ranch roping, and cattle clinics they must have been in training by April 1st to ensure they are set up for success. Minimum of 90 days for training with a discount for longer term training.

Where do we even start! This last weekends started out by traveling to Idaho Falls for the Teton Horse Experience Expo where Greg D Robinson was doing demos all three days. Plans quickly changed to accommodate for some really amazing experiences. Go follow Greg Robinson Horsemanship to get the details on that! Consequently, Stalon had the oportunity to step in and demo for Saturday and Sunday. We had the best support team the whole way and we can not thank everyone enough! We enjoyed each and everyone of you who introduced yourselves and interacted with us. Clinics are soon to be booked in Idaho so stay tuned.

Thank you Dana Lovell for the awesome pictures and it was so nice to meet you!
