Gotta love good horses…

Amen to this 💪🏼🙌🏼

Never stop learning. Even if all I learned was I’m not going to do that, or do that again, I still learned. This industry is changing so fast, and in order to be competitive, you have to change with it. I learn the most watching the warm up arena… and that’s free to all.

Have you ever noticed how the best riders/trainers are usually quiet and humble?
They are confident and speak positively about their training but don’t have to go around obnoxiously bragging on themselves or belittling and critiquing others.
You won’t find them commenting criticism on your Instagram posts. Even if that’s not how they would train they keep it to themselves. Because it does nobody any good to bring you down. We’re just glad that you are even in the horse world when you could be in any other world!
~We see you shining even if we don’t agree with or use those methods! Just hustle, stay quiet, kind, and humble.

GOOD READ FOR OWNERS!
OUTSIDE HORSES IN TRAINING…

You pay that hefty training bill for the month.

You look to have you horse in training as little as possible so it doesn’t break the bank.

You’re disappointed when after 30 days or 60 days or 90 days, there’s still more work to be done or the goal hasn’t been met. Worse yet, it looks good, you take the horse home and it unravels piece by piece. All that money “wasted”.

When you pay a trainer, that money isn’t paying for a result, it’s paying for someone’s skilled effort.

At least for me, when someone gets unhappy that their horse “isn’t fixed yet”, or comes “untrained” after it’s been home a while, makes the task of training horses for other people, discouraging. Discouraging because the efforts are being made, usually my best efforts that are filled with compassion, determination and lots of ruminating on how to fix complex issues a horse may have. Their disappointment becomes my failure basically. I know that’s not an actual truth but it’s never rewarding when someone is disappointed due to their own expectations.

Training a horse is NOT like being a mechanic on a car. Its not a tune up, it’s not the simple replacement of a part. It’s an animal with thoughts, feelings, emotions, habits, talents, etc. You don’t just program them, tune them up or replace a faulty part and send it back good as new.

You arent paying for results to happen within your timeline, you are paying for the time it takes to reach a desired result. The more complicated the project, the bigger the investment. The more baggage a horse has, the more effort it takes to unravel the mess. The bigger the goal, the greater the investment.

People send their horses to certain trainers because they want the outcome that trainer proves they can achieve. The problem is, people want that result in the shortest time frame possible because time, again, is money. It takes the time it takes to create the vision and time costs money. People who have a diy mentality, value the effort so much more when they themselves invest their own energy into a horse rather than just paying for it. I really feel that those who do it themselves, come to appreciate the efforts it takes far more than those who sign the check.

Be nice to your trainers, we work unimaginably hard on these horses! 🙂

The love back from a horse is one of the most powerful feelings…

Horses are incredible teachers of forgiveness, acceptance, and unconditional love.”

we are looking for somebody to continue him along and his journey and enjoy him as much as we do! he is currently being hauled and seasoned, but would need to continue that with his new owner of course! We have tons of pictures and videos of him. He does a great job of taking care of the person that’s on his back when he needs to, but also doing what his persons asks of him! I have used him for some Lessons, to check c**ts, pony 2yo, he’s been to the beach and on the trail been to a couple play days! We’ve swung a rope off of him. We’ve took him to sorting practices. Started on the poles, can lope them pretty nice! Just needs seasoned and hauled, scoop him up before he starts winning jack pots and price increases!
