Services

Our training methods are greatly influenced by the great Ray Hunt, Tom Dorrance and Les Vogt methods.  Because no horse or mule is alike, we train according to the individual and using methods that work with the individual animal. We are getting into the mind and personality of that animal.  Every horse and mule is schooled with a lot of miles under their feet in their first thirty days of riding.  Of course since every equine is an individual, some are ridden the first day and some  need more prepping and there's a few that require extra special handling in the round pen phase. It’s really up to the horse or mule and if they are ready.

• Our training takes them from the round pen to the arena and then outside for everyday experiences. We like to get them out as soon as possible and start getting the miles under their feet, getting them out and seeing some country, getting them to learn to handle themselves out in the water, mud, rocks, hilly terrain etc. with a rider.
• We incorporate ranching aspects as they are ready for it. Ranching aspects include neck reining, side-passing, opening gates, checking cattle and fence. We do keep steers at the ranch headquarters and they are worked around them, tracking and getting ridden among them and sometimes roping off of them, when they are ready.
• Our ground work always includes them being sacked out with tarps and ropes.  This can greatly benefit a young horse that may become tangled in wire.
• If we feel the horse or mule is dangerous or otherwise not going to suit your needs, we will advise you within 2-3 weeks and allow or ask you to come and retrieve the animal from our care.
