• Softening a Horse by Going Through The Sides with Tom Curtin 19:51

Both Tom Dorrance and Ray Hunt spoke about the idea of softening a horse through their sides. In this lesson Tom Curtin demonstrates how he asks a horse to engage and leave with their hind feet and without pulling down and in to round up and ask for softness. Starting with legs, feet and seat will help build a horse that engages without tension and brings a softness and harmony in your horse mentally.

We are fine in Southern Oklahoma, the fire is not anywhere close to us. Thank you everyone that has checked on us. Please say a prayer for the people, pets and livestock that are in its path, and pray for the firefighters safety.

What can I say about Poncho and Lefty? There name says it all! These two Registered Gypsy Vanners will steal your heart. We have owned Poncho and Lefty since 2020. They have made friends everywhere we have hauled them, while doing our horsemanship and stockmanship clinics. These are two very exceptional full brothers. Poncho and Lefty are ready to advance into whatever discipline you would like to take them. They drive really well and are very talented movers with smooth gaits. They have been riden, but never abused with hard riding. We have given them plenty of time for there bones to mature. They have that winning, kind, Gypsy personality, but they are handy enough to go show. I’m offering these two as a pair because they are extremely well matched. However, they are so nice as individuals I would consider letting them go separately. I could go on and on about this pair, but if you’re interested please give me a call. My phone number will be in the first comment. Tom and I offer a very limited number of horses, and if you know us, you realize what we do offer are very special. Please enjoy the video. Thank you for putting it together Kassidy Webster.

The mighty Lil Hick. He stands 14.1, and weighs around 1100lbs. However, if you ask Hick he will say that he stands at least 15.2. He loves people, and getting attention. He will be the first one at the gate to greet you. Tom and I have hauled Hick all over the US doing our Horsemanship and Stockmanship clinics. He can go all day doing ranch work just happy doing a job, or he is happy being risen in the arena. We have used Hick on the ranch, dragging calves for branding, and at Ranch Roping Contest. His size has never made a difference. He makes up for his size with try. He’s really gentle, but quick on his feet. Hick is up for consideration to the right home. He will make someone a nice partner, if you want a big horse heart that is easy to mount. He can go in any direction; show ring, roping ring, or trail horse. He has never been lame in his life and is completely sound.
Please PM me if you are interested in Hick.
