Well, bad luck breeding this year. There will be NO foals born here in 2025! We may try again as early as we can next year but we will see. We were really trying to cut back this year anyway so maybe it's for the best.

We look forward to focusing on the horses we are keeping. Work less, play more... and enjoy them. Breeders know this- the struggle is real! You get too many and then it is just too much work and they don't get enough individual attention.

I will be continuing to ride my filly Selena that I decided to keep for myself. Definitely plan to breed her down the road but I want to get her good and broke before then.

We still have a few horses for sale if anyone is interested. New photos of our 2024 filly this week. JUST WAIT till you see how she looks now. She has grown so much and is looking more beautiful every day! 💕

🔥 Black and White Pintabian Yearling Filly 🔥

We have this not so little girl available. She is going to be tall like her Dam Hannah. 15.1 to 15.2 hands full grown.

She is naturally so sweet and calm. She was bred and born in Hickman California at our sister farm and is here for training. Not old enough to saddle of course but we are working on lots of ground manners. She ties, clips, trailer loads, lunges, picks up feet and drops her head on cue. Stetson (14) has been handling her and touching her all over. She is going to make someone a wonderful heart horse!

Sport horse or Endurance potential right here! Nice mover! Video coming soon!

PtHA & IPAR Registration Pending

Majestic Sunspot "Majesty" will be 27 in a couple months.. my old boy that was born the fall of '97 .....he was my answered prayer and become one of the most loved foundation stallions of the Pintabian Breed. I wish I would have promoted him more and bred more but he was my pride and joy from riding to showing to using in clinics. I have never been more connected to any other horse.

After a 12 hour trip up North he was happy to get out on new grass. I Will miss him but Stephanie and Les have always taken just as good of care to my horses as I do myself. I could not thank them enough.

If anyone is wondering. We are "sister" farms and have been in business with each other and our small breeding program ever since the passing of Barb Olson when we took on the last of her breeding mares. We co-own a few mares and stallions and share the others. We work together to provide quality horses that will last a long time. Longevity, soundness, conformation, bloodlines and trainability along with our integrity, honesty and personal relationships. We strive to carry on the heritage of this breed. We are always striving to do better and dream big! Our goal is to have and sell horses that are NOT known to be flighty and crazy like some Arabians have the reputation of... but to show their versatility as well as their loving, calmer temperaments which makes them wonderful family horses!

Majesty was a big part of that dream. No one ever knew he was a stallion unless they looked underneath. He was always quiet and a dream to breed. I raised him from day one and never allowed him to be crazy. He waited for my cue.

He deserves to live happily ever after at his happy place ❤️

We decided to go ahead and look for a new home for Maverick!
🌵5 year old Registered Buckskin Arabian/Paint
🌵 Double registered HAHR and ABRA
🌵15.2 Hands
🌵90 Days Training before we got him.
🌵Been on an elk hunt and several trail rides.
🌵Been in one Parade
🌵Dam is top 5 Sport Horse Under Saddle and Regional Champion in Western Dressage.
He is a good boy- loves attention, more woah than go, ridden by both Carley(16) and Sean. Sean really enjoyed him on the trail. Carley just doesn't have the time he deserves. He could do really good at ranch trail. The trainer that did the 90 days was focused on getting him prepared for Ranch Versatility. Dragging logs, opening gates etc. He is at a good place but just needs more miles and a somewhat confident rider that will make him work. He has great feet and right now we just keep shoes on his fronts. He goes into frame easy, picks up both leads every time. Western Dressage or Sport Horse under saddle prospect for sure!

Vices- he will kick at dogs and he gets bored easily. Plays with his tongue and likes to lick. Some think it's cute. I think it's annoying but he just has a lot of personality.

Located Near Phoenix, AZ
Hauling trip planned to Modesto and Sacramento in JUNE!

1. THOUGHT -the release is timed to reinforce the correct "thought"
2. SOFTNESS -the horse yields, this slows the horse down
3. RESPONSIVENESS -the release is on a movement, this speeds the horse up
4. MARK TRAINING -the maneuver or object is the release-the horse begins to hunt for the manuever
5. POISON -add pressure and release when the resistance leaves the horse

26/05/2024

.....THE FIVE RELEASES.....

In horse training there are five releases:

Thought, Give, Response, Target, Poison

*Release on a Thought..when the horse thinks about it, you can encourage a thought to become an action.

*Release on a Give..when a horse yields, or is slowing down. The give slows a horse. Softness slows the horse.

*Release on a Response..to speed the horse up. There is a big difference between give and response. Response puts the speed back in the movement.

*Release on the Mark - A manoeuvre or an object can become the mark. The manoeuvre or the object becomes the release.

*Release on Poison... “Poison is the finished release.”
It is when you are looking for any resistance so you can remove the resistance to make the horse better.
In horse training there is always something you can make better!

*Remember..RELEASE is important, It tells the horse YES. Whatever you release on is telling your horse that it was correct!

For Your Consideration! This Leggy girl has the best little personality and full of heart and power. She floats and loves to show off! Can't wait to see where she goes and what she gets to accomplish. With her sweet yet willing spirit I could definitely see her as Youth horse in competition.

How is this little girl already 8 weeks old and so big! Sean had her leading nicely all over the yard and away from mama already. She is a little smarty pants too.
The more she grows the more I like her ❤️
