Bar S Bar Horsemanship

05/25/2026

Got a horse that’s never been roped off of before? Want to learn how to safely and correctly prepare both your horse and yourself before ever stepping into the branding pen, arena, or pasture?
This clinic is built to give you the foundation you need.

This weekend will cover:
• Groundwork and preparation
• Introducing the rope properly
• Building confidence and responsiveness
• Safe exposure and progression
• Rider positioning and handling
• Preparing horse and rider for real-life ranch and roping situations
There will be NO live cattle used during this clinic. The focus is on creating a solid, safe, and confident foundation so that when the time comes to walk into the arena, branding pen, or pasture and rope something, both you and your horse are prepared.

Whether you’re starting a young horse, restarting one, or simply wanting to build confidence and correctness, this clinic is designed to help set you up right from the beginning.

Message to reserve your spot.

We are so proud of these two!
When I sent Chief off to his new career as a Breakaway Horse, I knew he was going to shine, but it took this young lady to set him up for a championship.
Congratulations to Aubrey & Chief on their 1st breakaway roping buckle together 😍🥰❤️
I've never been so proud. You both earned this hardware & it is well deserved. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you both.

This pretty boy turns heads everywhere he goes. He is a beautiful mover, level-headed, and has done everything! He has a reining foundation and is soft as butter in your hands. He is kid safe, sweet tempered and loves attention. He would make a great all-around horse.
He would also make an exceptional ranch horse versatility competitor / ranch horse/ intermediate rider horse. I say intermediate because he has lots of buttons and a beginner may get frustrated not knowing how to use them.

There's a topic in the horse training world that we just don't highlight very often. The hard truth about training horses is that there's a lot of heartbreak attached to it. You work so hard to make these beautiful animals better, make them great, knowing full well your time together is short lived. That's the business. They can't all live here forever. We train them to send them onto their new careers, but all the while we're training them, they're training us. The really great ones, the ones who touch your soul, they make you a better horseman and often, a better person. If we're willing to be humble and to be the student, they will show you more about yourself than a mirror ever could. This particular horse did all of that for me. We worked so hard in many different arenas, some of them I was teaching him new skills and many of them, he was teaching me. He has come so far since I pulled him out of the feedlot. I'm so proud of him and his new career as a junior rodeo breakaway horse. But every day I walk into that pasture, my heart gets a little heavy, and I hold back tears that he's not there.

This job, this business is truly a blessing and is so fulfilling and rewarding 95% of the time, but it's important to shine a light on the tough stuff. It's always bittersweet - but it's always worth it.
I will always love you Chief 🐴❤️ can't wait to watch you shine on the Jr. Rodeo circuit.
