Hosting and teaching at clubs sorting clinic this last weekend for our 10th and final clinic at the ranch for 2026, and it was quite the grand finale!!

CCC had 27 riders with some traveling and staying with us for an amazing weekend of introducing new riders and growing skills for current riders in the sport of ranch sorting.

As DH2 ranch closes the 2026 season for clinics, I can’t help but reflect on an incredible year. 10 clinics and 8 of them being our own!

As a third generation trainer, an education, experience in application, continuing education, show experience, daily intensive real time cattle behavior studies as a cattleman in caring-for our own herd, a keen eye developed from a lifetime of reading horses, understanding and studying horses on a cellular and biological level, and the right tools in my training tool-box, I acquired this ranch in Nov. of last year with the idea of growing Double Helix Horsemanship to be a place where our education, application, and experience in horsemanship and cow behavior, and successful training, to be a place where riders and horses can come to let us share our horsemanship education and knowledge through lessons, cow work clinics, sorting clinics, cutting and cow work practices.

It was an unusable facility when we acquired it but we poured our hearts into restoring and rebuilding the training facility to the specs that allow our program to consistently produce education and amazing horses for our clients.

I am incredibly proud to say that over the last 6 months we have had over 130 riders and horses come through our ranch with over 60 of them new to cow work. We have successfully helped all of them work through mental and physical challenges, grow their abilities in their respective cow horse disciplines, or simply helped them to completely step in the world of cow work by introducing them and their horses to foundational cow horse horsemanship, maneuvering, reining, cattle behavior, and correctly controlling and working cattle opening the door for them to to go into any cow horse sport discipline they choose.
Thank you to everyone who supported us this year. ❤️ we look forward to even more growth in 2027!!

Thank you to our sponsors!

5 months ago we acquired Chex on his 3rd birthday to build our own reined cowhorse to have ready for the 2027 show season! His seasoning and development in our program has been amazing! He has done so much already. He is truly a special horse, 1 of a kind! I’m excited to have our name on his training and start going down the road with him!

🐴 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT | WHY WE CHOOSE TEAM EQUINE 🐴

At Double Helix Horsemanship, our horses are athletes—and we believe they deserve the same level of thought, care, and attention to detail that we put into their training.

That’s why we choose Team Equine Saddle Pads.

Whether we’re putting miles on a young horse, spending hours developing our cow horses, riding ranch sorting, or hauling to compete, comfort matters. A comfortable horse is able to focus, move freely, stay relaxed, and perform at their best.

Team Equine has become a part of our program because their saddle pads help us prioritize what matters most:

THE HORSE.

We don’t believe in cutting corners when it comes to our horses, and we’re proud to put Team Equine underneath them—at home, in training, and in competition.

We’re incredibly grateful to Team Equine Saddle Pads for believing in DH2, supporting our program, and helping us keep our horses comfortable while they do their job.

When you’re asking your horse to give you 100%, they deserve equipment that gives them the best opportunity to do it comfortably.

Thank you, Team Equine, for being a part of the DH2 team. 🤝🐎

We choose Team Equine because our horses deserve it.
