I work with horses so they can understand and respond, thus becoming relaxed and willing in their training. My expertise is starting colts & older horses and reviving the debilitated abused ones as well.

About Me

Horses have always been my passion! I've been riding and training all my life - I've always followed the most talented trainers as I grew in my Horsemanship. As a teenager I worked on a Cutting horse ranch and they taught me to ride and work their Show Pen Cutters. I love ridin' a good Cuttin' Horse! I worked at Sport of Kings Racing Stable & learned to start prospects for the track. I showed horses at Halter, WP, Trail & Barrels. I managed & became Head-Trainer for a large Arabian facility. I have owned training facilities in Kansas, Arizona & Montana where I was VP of the WMQHA. I raise Quarter Horses & Paints, I work with whatever breed of horse that needs human patience and trust!

I specialize in Colt starting, Training & Horsemanship lessons. I love teaching kids! I like to develop horses that can go out and work cattle & do ranch work & trail ride, I give them the foundation that's necessary to take them forward so they can excel at higher levels. I work with a horse to where they can understand and respond, thus becoming relaxed and willing in their training. My talent & expertise is starting colts & older horses and reviving the debilitated abused ones as well.

Our Services

TRAINING:  We  use  proven methods of ground work and training methods with our main goal on "PATIENCE" in working with any horse.  Once our colts and horses are responsive and going well, bending and flexing, and can one-rein stop nicely and  backup, we start giving them a job out in the pastures, working gates, gathering colts or cattle and lots of trail riding miles. When we pony out colts, or carry fencing tools we prune trees in the woods right off of the horses backs. All in All  -it  makes good, handy, level headed horses out of them.
