Titans Dakota Blonde

William Thatcher of Viking Ranch lunged Jolene today (November 4th, 2025).
It has been a while since she has had much done with her. While William was lunging her she was not wanting to turn in. Efforts were made to work on her with this. William spent a full hour working with her.

Twisted Platinum Jaz

William Thatcher of Viking Ranch lunged Jaz today (November 4th, 2025).

She has had some time off so was not as cooperative about turning in to change directions at first. With some effort he got her turning in to change directions. At the end of the session he got her following him around the round pen working on some liberty training.

Supernatural Pistol - C**t

It has been a bit since C**t has had any form of turn out. Not due for any reason other than when you work you can't be working and at the ranch turning out horses or training them, etc.

Critics are going to be critics no matter what you do!

There has been quite a bit done with C**t since he came to Viking Ranch. Nope, not all of it was captured on video or photos taken or even a post, posted about what was done with C**t. I know to people what matters is only what they see, that is quite alright.

There is nothing to prove to anyone other than showing what C**t can do, how far he is coming along in his training, and so forth.

November 6th, 2025 William Thatcher of Viking Ranch got C**t out of his pen, walked him around the property then took him to the round pen, mostly for exercise, not for really much of anything else. William is trying to get on a schedule with several of the horses at Viking Ranch so he can pick back up on their training. With that said, C**t proved today that just a thirty minute workout was going to turn into an hour workout. C**t refused to turn in when William asked him to. He was putting his head through the rails when asked to turn in to change directions, he would just turn and chage directions when ge wanted with two heels not two eyes. After a while William couldn't keep at the pace with C**t and had to stop for a break. Upon returning to work with C**t he was even more reluctant to listen to William. This time C**t was flipping his head tho William wasn't engaging the whip, he wouldn't put his ear on William, every ask to turn in C**t would just put his head over the top rail. William finally got him to where he almost turned in and instead C**t decided to run through William instead and this behavior left C**t having to lunge at a run until he listened.

I am still alive!

I honestly forget about keeping this page updated along with my Instagram and my TikTok. Heck I am not even editing videos I have from 2024 and this year, 2025 and uploading them to my YouTube Channel.

Truth is I was already supposed to be recovering from surgery. I don't want to go into why I am not...let's put it this way...I have done everything asked to have a surgery date since September and nothing!

I have been working on downsizing my breeding program. Not due any fault of the horses themselves. I am getting older, I know such a shocker! I have decided tho I have bred registered horses, trained them up, etc. No one is interested in the breed or breeds I am breeding...example half Andalusians and half Arabians. I am done with pushing forward for this.

My half Andalusian were specifically bred for Dressage, Jumping, Working Equitation...

My half Arabians were supposed to be for reining they're turning out to be Dressage, Endurance, and Halter horses...Not the direction I was going in!

I want to focus on my Knabstruppers, AQHA, Drum Horses, and Draft crosses.

I also want to enjoy my horses. I have a very lovely Missouri Fox Trotter mare, pictured with me on her that is my solid trail mount and my everything horse. This horse is worth way more than I purchased her for, I am not exaggerating. This girl is amazing!

Maybe in a few weeks I will get on my surgeon's butt about getting me setup for surgery tho I rather not have a year off from horses... I need to do the surgery for me!
