Bit-O-Wy Horses - Curlies, Morgans, Mustangs Rather than sell a horse, we throw in a horse when we sell information. If you know all the answers ... move on down the road. If you want to learn ..

If you want a cheap horse ... move on down the road. stick around and shop. If you understand the price is of small import ...give us a shout! We believe a horse is not a car, not a wrench, not a one size fits all entity but rather a horse is being with its own unique personality and inherent abilities. Matching these things with a human who is also a unique being with its own personality and inhe

rent abilities is what we specialize in. Many people who find us are looking for a "broke, bomb proof horse" not understanding that there is truly no such thing when dealing with a live being. The human's interaction will alter any past that horse has had be it for better or for worse. And because a horse is not an inanimate object that grizzly bear popping out of the woods might just be the "bomb" that proves to be too much. By selling a "broke, bomb proof horse" the seller is actually selling a false sense of security that often leads the human to be hurt or badly frightened and then the horse is blamed and "sold down the river". We aim to have enough conversation/interaction with potential new owners to assess their personalities, wants and desires. In this way we are then better able to assist them in selecting the horse with the best matching horsenality (to borrow a Parelli phrase). Putting a timid person with a pushy confident horse is a recipe for disaster just as putting a timid horse with a pushy confident human is the same. Often folks hear - green on green makes black and blue. We do not subscribe to this school of thought. Rather we believe that knowledge gives confidence and when green and green grow together the result is an unbeatable, unbreakable combination.

A thought-provoking read.
By Jane Smiley

Most horses pass from one human to another - some horsemen and women are patient and forgiving, others are rigorous and demanding, others are cruel, others are ignorant.

Horses have to learn how to, at the minimum, walk, trot, canter, gallop, go on trails and maybe jump, to be treated by the vet, all with sense and good manners.

Talented Thoroughbreds must learn how to win races, and if they can't do that, they must learn how to negotiate courses and jump over strange obstacles without touching them, or do complicated dance like movements or control cattle or accommodate severely handicapped children and adults in therapy work.

Many horses learn all of these things in the course of a single lifetime. Besides this, they learn to understand and fit into the successive social systems of other horses they meet along the way.

A horse's life is rather like twenty years in foster care, or in and out of prison, while at the same time changing schools over and over and discovering that not only do the other students already have their own social groups, but that what you learned at the old school hasn't much application at the new one.

We do not require as much of any other species, including humans.

That horses frequently excel, that they exceed the expectations of their owners and trainers in such circumstances, is as much a testament to their intelligence and adaptability as to their relationship skills or their natural generosity or their inborn nature. That they sometimes manifest the same symptoms as abandoned orphans - distress, strange behaviors, anger, fear - is less surprising than that they usually don't.

No one expects a child, or even a dog to develop its intellectual capacities living in a box 23 hours a day and then doing controlled exercises the remaining one.

Mammal minds develop through social interaction and stimulation.

A horse that seems "stupid", "slow", "stubborn", etc. might just have not gotten the chance to learn!

Take care of your horses and treasure them.

As i finally watch the vid it is my opinion that while he talks a good tale in practice he is not as clear/good.
I would be interested in what others see in the human from the horses perspective
