From the outside looking in you think the trainers have it all figured out.

Some trainers have a lot of it figured out, but only because they have been learning from experiences for years and years.

I heard a great trainer say he is good now because he was terrible for 15 years.

A talented and experienced trainer can develop a good horse into a great horse. However, the kind of horse that wins all the time, were born winners.

Great horses make us winners. As trainers sometimes we help them be better, but most the time we just don’t mess them up.

When you have the opportunity to ride a truly great horse, cherish it. You may not have the chance to ever ride another.

Any vet will find something on any horse At any given time when trying to pass a vet check ...What should matter first is it minimal and maintainable ...Something the buyer Needs to understand is that maintenance is a very big part in the equine athlete !

So very true!

I get asked fairly often “When is my horse going to go faster?”

When you send me your horse to train, my goal is making a solid, safe, confident horse for you to eventually run and enjoy. This is not a quick and rushed process. Creating a solid horse takes a good amount of time. How long? That I can’t tell you, it varies on each particular horse. Were they actually broke enough to immediately start on the pattern when they come to me? Were they confident? Horses don’t work on a time line, they don’t understand what your budget may be, or when a futurity is. So my answer to your question is “When THE HORSE is ready.”.

They may look “ready” to you in the videos I send where they are slow loping the pattern so pretty. But that doesn’t mean they are ready. Usually in a video you can’t tell how much I am helping them stay correct! When they can stay correct with little help from me, and feel confident going through the pattern, then they are ready for more. That is something that is felt, not always necessarily seen, especially to the untrained eye.

I don’t rush the training process. If you want it done quick, I’m probably not the right trainer for you. I prefer to make a horse that will last you, not fall apart after 6 months. Be patient, trust the process, and it will all come together in time.

Taking in outside horses

Super proud of this c**t. He’s off the track. Second ride under the arena and first time around the barrels. The foundation and handle I put on him made transitioning to the barrels easier.

Doing a little barrel work with a 3 year old

From the track to the arena. This 3 year old is learning what a stock saddle is. He’s having to think and use his brain. He’s willing, does some things naturally that you can’t teach ... looking forward to training him on the barrels

Nice little client horse after 3 weeks on the barrels. I have an opening if you’re interested. I will take them at any stage of the process. Send me a PM
