Rookie is coming along nicely. This little gelding is available and will be in training until he finds his 🏡. Price increases with training.

5 year old grade Otoe bred gelding. Sound. Cowy. Learning to trust his handler. Low in pecking order in pasture. Not buddy sour. Could care less about mares and he’s pastured with only mares right now. Barefoot. Loads and trailers.

He’s difficult to catch but get some feed and he’s in your pocket. That’s getting better daily. He’s had some rough hands in his past. He can be fearful but not dangerous. His trust of humans is also gaining leaps and bounds daily. He will need soft hands and a gentle handle. Again, he’s getting better daily, and he’s only been in training a couple weeks. He was skinny upon arrival and he now looks way better. His glow up is one to watch!!!

Welcome to the Pine View family, Rookie. Follow along on his transformation. Rookie is a 5 year old QH with a blank slate. We will start from ground zero and instill a great foundation for his future. First, he’ll need a nutritional overhaul and increase his healthy weight. Lucky for him, he’s already a big fan of our soaked alfalfa and papaya puree.

My heart is broken. This kid grew with a horse, and as his horse retired, so did he from this world. God Bless this family and the extended race family they have gained over the years as well. What a journey 🤍🪽

This is a PSA and a bit of a rant:
A lady approached me today. Said she was having a hard time finding someone to break her horse. Said she just wanted it broke to trail ride, nothing fancy. Said she’s been looking for a long time and someone told her they wanted 4900 to break it and to her that was outrageous. They didn’t want to show the horse they just wanted to trail ride.

I asked her how old the horse was. Her answer: 10 years old. 🙄 This is when I started smiling, nodding my head and replying “I’m sorry to hear that.”😬

Let’s break it down. ( We DON’T work for free because we ♥️ it as much as you want to believe that).

To get a TRUE 60 days on a horse it will have to be at the trainers for 3 months.

Rode one hour a day 5 days a week for 12 weeks.

To board a TRAINING horse it’s going to cost you at LEAST $350/ month with the basics of hay, grain, sawdust and daily stall cleaning. =$1,050 for 3 months

Now any trainer that’s going to be able to do anything worthwhile in 60 days needs to know their stuff. A trainer like this is going to charge upwards of $65/ hour. =$3,900 for 3 months

Total= $4,950

At the end of all of this, the absolute best you will get, is a Green broke horse. That means it will still spook, it will still buck and it will still bolt.

Now once said Horse is Green broke and you take it home, drop it in the field, wait two weeks till you decide to saddle up and go for a trail ride, then don’t do any prep (lunging, etc.), you sir or madam are asking to get hurt. What’s going to hurt worse is your feelings when you realize you spent all that money and you still can’t ride your horse cause you don’t have the riding skills to do so. (of course, let’s be honest, most will say it’s the trainers fault.)

In conclusion: Horses are expensive to own. They are expensive to ride. They are even more expensive to train. Once it’s been through training there is still a chance you won’t be able to ride it. Even if it’s “just trail riding”. 🤣🤣🤣

A truly broke and “safe” horse takes years of regular training, not months, to create. That’s why your 10-15 year old babysitters are 10k plus.

This has been your dose of reality.

Rotational falls are extremely dangerous and can happen on flat perfectly manicured footing, same as a xc jump.

As many of you have heard, our fellow equestrian Hannah Serfass tragically lost her life on April 30th while competing. On behalf of her parents and trainer, we would like to show our love and support for Hannah and her passion for horses by tagging on social media. We hope to give some support to her family and friends during this extremely difficult time so let’s come together as a community and show our love for Hannah 🤍

Good Boy, Fletcher! Getting new shoes while listening to LRK3DE & dreaming big dreams 💚

Chiropractic treatment for TMJ is commonly skipped in TMJ treatment, but it's one of the most beneficial treatments out there for the condition.

Upon Fletchers arrival, he was extremely reactive in his poll region, to the point of running backwards when pressure was applied. Saddling was uncomfortable to him and he was tight through his flatwork.

The horse’s TMJ is considerably more complex than a human’s due to its connection to the entire body. Symptoms of TMJ pain vary and include low performance levels, imbalanced gaits or lameness, uneven tooth wear, head shaking, cribbing, teeth grinding, signs of headache, behaviors such as spookiness, ADD, ear sensitivity, head shyness and bitting difficulty, being a poor keeper, muscle wasting (especially on the top line), difficulty flexing the poll and engaging the hindquarters, and an unwillingness to change leads.

After a thorough chiropractic session, Fletcher is immediately less reactive to touch all around his head and moving freer through his body. After a 24 hour rest to let this session set, he will get back to riding, and will get a recheck from his chiro in 4 weeks. Good boy, Fletcher! 💙

MOST IMPORTANTLY, listen to your horse!
