Couldn’t be more happy with this little filly right here. She did so well at her first-ever clinic and first time with a bit in her mouth. It was a great 30 days with this girl, looking forward to working with her again.

This c**t’s name is Scout. I am really happy with the progress that this guy made. I love this horse’s attitude and outlook about things. He is going to make a really good horse for the owner. Starting off, this guy was very touchy, but when he figured out that I wasn’t out to get him and all I wanted was for him to find me, it changed the game for him. As long as I was with him, he wouldn’t bo**er or really pay much attention to anything other than me. The way that we can have a horse find us and build this level of trust and respect this early on is by getting to their feet to empower them and have them use their body correctly, having good timing and knowing when to stop and let them soak, and not letting that horse push or pull on you. If you or anyone you know is interested in having me work with their horse, don’t hesitate to contact me!

This here is Snappy from one of the first to one of the last rides he was with me. He made a lot of progress in the 60 days that he was with me. Something that I really learned the importance of with this c**t is to do less when something is not working out. If you notice, he was still in the halter in the second video. I put him in a snaffle bit, but he was having lots of trouble getting connected to the feet with it. So I tried a few different things, but nothing was working until I went back to the halter and found a few holes that I had missed. The horse was not able to yield to pressure in the halter, so how could he in the snaffle? The way a horse learns to yield to pressure is by finding the open door through the feet. After I helped him find out that the reins were connected to the feet, he was able to yield to pressure much better in the reins and other areas as well. I am planning on continuing with this c**t at the owner’s house, so hopefully I will get to post a video of him riding in the snaffle bit.

‼️HORSE FOR SALE‼️

This is Ivory Ray Estes, also known as Virgil. He’s a 6-year-old Rocky Mountain gelding. Virgil has a beautiful silver buckskin color. He has loads of different experiences and exposure. I have worked cattle off of him, done lots of breakaway roping with him, he has done all kinds of different obstacles, and has lots of hours out on the trail. He is not a beginner-friendly horse, but he would be perfect for someone looking to have a safe horse that has lots of experience and is looking to bring this young guy along.

If anyone, or someone you know, is interested, please feel free to contact me on Facebook Messenger or call me. You can find my number at the top of the page.

Allie’s time with me has almost ended. She has come a long way, and I am very proud of her. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with this horse. Allie has helped me advance my horsemanship skills tremendously. I hope to see my work help this horse and her owner build a good, solid relationship.
I have open spots for this year, so if anyone is interested, contact me!

This is a nice little 3 year old quarter horse mare. She has a head full of sense and can follow a feel fantastically. I have yet to put a first ride on her but I am really looking forward to it. This is the first time I have worked a horse off of another’s back. I do have to say it makes things go much smoother and they catch on to the deal a lot quicker. This horse will be available to purchase at the end of 30 days.
