Tamale's half brother in action! Bet Hesa Start is currently being shown and making a name for himself.
When I look at Tamale's brother they are literally the same horse just a different color.
What is super neat is that they are half brothers on the maternal side. Tamale is sired by Spots Hot...Bet Hesa Start is sired by Bet Hesa Cat.
When people ask if his dam side is strong all I can say is yes!!! And she passes on one heck of a hair gene.
This nice stud stands in the southern part of the country... if you're interested in breeding to him I can put you in contact with his owners!
We are so proud to stand a stud from a program like this in MN. Tamale's books close February 1st! 🔥🔥🔥
As our little family of 3 gets ready to ride into the New Year a few words stick out in my mind.
Thankful. Grateful. Blessed. Tired 🤣
2024 was our first full year training at our own home. Tamale bred over 30 mares and we had over 45 training horses go through our program with a few still here. To me it's absolutely mindblowing that Travis and I handled all the chores, riding, appointments, etc. All while having our daughter full time.
We snuck off to some competitions where our geldings pulled buckles and checks...Travis hit the roping pen again some which he really enjoyed!
Next year looks to be just as busy so while we know there aren't a lot of vacations or rest in our future we are going to take it one day and colt start at a time! 🤣
Thank you to all of our friends, family, and clients that follow and support our journey. We are looking forward to 2025 ✨️🥂✨️
A little winter time fun 🌟🎄🌟
Was a fun night! Had to cut audio because I was yelling at my husband to ride my horse as if he didnt train him... 🤦♀️
Took some of our Minnesota Ranch Rodeo friends out to South Dakota...not sure they'll venture back 😂
Proud of Travis's team for their first time at an event like this. Travis knew the events but no one else did. Finished middle of the pack with a no time!
Also Howard (first horse out) can run fast when a cowhide is chasing him 🤣
Handed the reins back over to Howard's trainer for the night ;)
Everyone's horses stand this nice to be clipped right 🤣
Thank you Howard for being the best boy!
Dylan heads home Friday!
He's been a colt start that has required a lot of patience and consistency, but he has come a long way!
We wish all of these young horses rode as good as Strawberry 🍓 does with just 60 days under saddle!
Whoever snags this girl up is going to love her. She's smart, willing, and gorgeous to boot. Plus she's going to be a nice stopper!
