Just a couple questions that come up when I’m talking to owners about their c**ts; “What should I do before I give you my c**t?””Should I have saddled it, packed it, bridled it?”
I recommend rubbing them all over to get your c**t comfortable with you being in their space.
This is not hard,and helps your trainer not having to deal with fear and hidden issues that you have created.

Headed into the wind river range. It’s always good to go for multiple days. Especially if you want your horse to mature!!!

First ride in a couple years for my favorite Daughter!!!

Knowing how to react to an obstacle on the trail will allow even a skittish horse to have confidence in you as their rider.

I do 1 and 2 day classes with the focus on controlling our horses feet and outside rides. This is the country we ride. Message me if your interested.

Riding with confidence will help your horse build his confidence.

I have a two day class scheduled for July 8 and 9. We will be working on softening and controlling our horses feet. Then we will apply what we learn on the trail. 

22/05/2022

Still hard to get to the high country. I have a class schedule for June 10 and 11 if your interested message me!! Should be able to see some country by then.

Out for a ride with a client who has become a good friend, have fun with him Drew.

Have you ever been anywhere where you didn’t speak the language? How did that make you feel? Then you ran into someone who could speak your language! How did that make you feel? Welcome to roundpenning. It’s not about running a horse to exhaustion but rather speaking to the horse in their language. You can’t teach someone your language until you can speak theirs…….something to think about!

You can’t replace outside rides. Go for a ride and don’t pick at your horse.

16/08/2021

Taking your time with obstacles in the mountains helps give your ride confidence.

19/07/2021

Packing your horse is good knowing when to pack your horse is even better.

FOUNDATION. It is so important. We don’t give our kids the keys to the car at age 16 and let them drive down I-15. Lunging, walk, trot, canter, stop, turn left, right. Prepare your horse. Don’t ‘hope’ things will turn out ok. Prepare your horse for every step.

Having a horse that wants to be with you is our goal. Getting that trust takes time and the ability to speak horse. 

10/02/2021

I have 2 day classes. That are geared to help us ride safely,and with more confidence. While riding outside on the trail. If interested contact me about specifics.

Working with my filly with a little help from Daisy.

16/01/2021

Because we have to feed daily. Winter is the perfect time to help our hard to catch horses. Rub on them 30 sec or less then walk away. Doing this daily will help. If you don’t feed go out and spend that time with your horse.

Happy New Year.
Grateful for 30 years of doing something I love. Can’t wait for what this year brings.

Take time to work with your horse now. He or she will be way ahead come spring.

10/10/2020

If your horse is Buddy sour. If he is lacking confidence riding alone can help as long as you are confident with your horse and have no wrecks. Good experiences!!!

06/10/2020

Winter is coming if you are looking to have a c**t started in the spring or need a tune up better schedule now or you won’t get me.
