Openings for training (miles/tune up, barrel racing trainings, hauling to jackpots etc)

I’m going to say this but I’m not taking horses that gonna kill me no more. I’m not accepting bolters, rearing or rank bucks. Horses that come just refresher having the winter off c**ts that I’ve trained had winter off just need a reminder that they are broke. Just sat need reminder that they are broke not buckers anything like that. I’m by myself most of the time. So don’t have extra time for stuff like that. I’m hoping to hire extra help in the new year then I can add more client horses.

My rates will be going back to winter rates October to April

Have openings for
🐴 March 1 horse

I have long term as well if you needing horse trained and season for barrels. This separate from my other training openings Pm for more info

Got new followers plus hopefully some new clients. Decided to do another introducing post.
I grew up around horses, been on a horse before I could walk. My parents are ranchers that breed quarter horse and appaloosas. Now it’s just my mom and I so a lot of the work is fallen onto me. I am a cancer survivor about to be 6 years in remission.
I went to college in Wyoming for 3 1/2 years for Equine Training and Management and was on the rodeo team.
Now I train my own horses and take outside horses. I spend a lot of time in the round pen getting to know the horse and to get a good communication built.
Use to do little bit English but haven’t done it since my gelding pass away. Mostly do saddle breaking, barrels and roping now. I also share 2 other business with mom SS Equine Services which is bemer sessions,and we are distributors for it too and first aid kits. Red Rose Country Store handmade items leather, beadwork

This is always been my dream.

There is a reason, I think, that horsemanship is so hard to teach, and that is because it's truly an art and not a science.

You can go to school for art. You can learn from masters of a particular art form. You can study the chemical composition of your medium and learn about how those mediums behave in different circumstances. You can learn about the history of your art, how it originated and how it's evolved. You can study trends and dabble in different methodologies.

But no matter what, in order to become an artist, you have to experience it. You have obsess over it. You have to go to bed thinking about it and get up thinking about it. You have to become a little bit consumed by it. It drives your passion and your curiosity. You have to dedicate a part of your soul to its inception, creation and development. In some ways, you have to get to the point where you cannot separate yourself from it, as it has become a part of you and you of it.

I have received requests in the past asking me to write more about specific techniques, "how-to's", if you will. I will admit I struggle with this because it feels to me kind of like someone asking me how to have a conversation. I can give you a very general framework, but a conversation is intimate and personal. To write one for someone else would seem to me to be a request to boil down everything that is beautiful and awe-inspiring about horsemanship into base mechanical elements: important, but ultimately in my experience not AS important as the energy, flow and feeling of what is happening between the horse and the human.

Yes, you need a basic skillset to be an artist. You need to know how to hold the brush. You need to know how to choose a canvas. You need to know a thing or two about how your medium behaves and how to bring out the best in it.

But what ultimately creates art is the person behind the tools and the feeling within them. And since no teacher can create this for you, we simply have to try and set up scenarios and allow space and spark inspiration for people to go seek it within themselves.

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙨 “𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩.”

So get that out of your head. I share this pic because it was the most perfectly captured of many of my mishaps this year.

When you’re riding a 1300lb rocket… you’re not always going to stick with him. Not every run will be great, even on a great horse.

So what happens when something like this ⬇️ happens and you come out of the pen upset or mad? How does your horse feel? They don’t know if they were the fastest or slowest, they don’t know that it wasn’t a great day, they don’t know, and it’s your job to make this fun for them.

If every time you come out of the pen and name everything that went wrong and are constantly disappointed… why in the world would your horse want to go do it again?

Part of Adios’ attitude this year is me laughing it off. I didn’t make problems out of problems that weren’t there. He is a baby. He is allowed to make mistakes and so am I. To be fair, we still won a lot of money making a lot of mistakes. When it did come together… it was like a symphony... 🎶🎼🎵 however, it’s unrealistic for me to expect that of my partner every time.

Give your horse and yourself some grace.

I owed y’all two tips today!

Todays tip: “Think of the cost.”

When you’re making a run on a young horse and it isn’t going your way… think of the cost to keep pushing.

A lot of times what I see is professionals will ease up… we’ve already “lost the race.” The horse maybe didn’t handle the pressure. Time to go back to the drawing board. Because actually what most people want… is a long term horse.

What I see sometimes is a horse gets in a jam, gets behind and the rider just pushes. Instead of “we already lost the race” it’s “we have to make up time.” Kick. Pull. Whip. Spur.

What does that actually cost you? If they get a little scared, get discombobulated, or just are struggling mentally. Sometimes, this is totally the riders fault. I see it all the time.

So what does it cost? Months. Years. Endless hours putting back together. Small things can add up to something so quick. Money. Training. Vetting. More than you’ll ever know.

When faced with that crossroads, choose wisely.

Sunday morning musings….

I saw a post recently where someone said they charged less for c**t starting because there is no detail work involved.

I about spit my coffee.

They said the detail work is in teaching the horse “the pattern”.

I'll also often hear people say, I need someone to put some "buttons" on my horse.

Full STOP.

The idea that “detail” work and “buttons” is more than c**t starting is asinine to me.

*C**t starting IS THE DETAILS.* It is THE foundation upon which your horse’s career will be begin.

I often charge $1500 or more for restarts because they’re a lot more work. In most of those cases the c**t starter either didn’t know or wasn’t concerned with “details”. This goes hand in hand with the idea that RIDEABLE doesn’t equal EDUCATED.

The foundation starts on THE GROUND, and is carried into the rides.

I will say again: rideable doesn't equate to educated.

Lots of gentle horses will let you put a leg on both sides, but they don't know how to move the parts of their body independently, they can't yield to the bit, they don't understand speed control from my seat, or how to shape up off my legs.

It takes a lot of time to go back and re-write that program - especially on horses with a year or more of poor education. Me putting Ninety days days on those horses is a drop in the bucket.

If your horse comes back from the trainer and isn’t soft and reaching for you, can’t sort out how to separate the parts of their body, the “detail” work was missed. Unless they’re absolutely dog gentle by nature, a dull, non-responsive horse isn’t safe.

NOW- let’s get something clear your horse isn’t a machine.

If you own a horse, you are also responsible for educating yourself.

Horses aren't machines, and we shouldn’t want them to be.

I am responsible for growing myself and my skill set to better communicate with the horse.

The horse will always ride better for the trainer — unless you the owner/rider will take the time to do the things necessary to help broaden your understanding and education and communication. That, friends, is a lifelong commitment.

So, next time you hear, “it’s just c**t starting”, remember it is more than that. If the details like softness, roundness, correctness, thoughtfulness are overlooked, you or someone else is likely going to be struggling later.

The details absolutely matter.
