After taking a break from the horse world following some loss I am jumping back in head first.

If you have any questions please comment, email me, or message me on facebook.
Please leave info including the following: Any questions or name, number of horses, and work needed.
Are you looking to get your horse in shape for the show season? Have you been wanting to teach them something new? I can help with that and more. 🌟 BONUS: I’m a traveling trainer. That’s means no/minimal hauling. This means no leaving your horse and working closely with me on what your horse is learning. If you have the space I can work at your home if not we can meet at a local open arena.

I have 21 years of experience riding and 11 years training horses.

I will work with a horse of any skill and knowledge level. I do not have any breed discrepancies, I am willing to work with anything. I am also open to halter training foals.
All horses must be sound before training or tune up begins. Soundness can be checked by a vet or determined by me upon arrival.
I have all of my own tack but can use yours if you prefer.

Both boys went and visited a farrier in Lincoln to have their feet done. They both did very well and now have very pretty feet 🤩
Plus they are such babies about each other. Look at this smooches 😘

What is the most underrated drill in the barrel race?

A small circle. Emphasis on small.

As trainers, our time is typically spent with other professional trainers and high level competitors. With that said, it’s easy to look past the simple, yet difficult task of loping a small circle.

It seems that the majority of barrel racers don’t lope small circles. Often times they are unable to get their horses to do this maneuver. Rather. the horse or the rider doesn’t have the needed body control to perform this task. Outside of skill, they sometimes they don’t posses the strength either.

Think about it from outside the box. If you are training for a strongman competition, would you be lifting heavy or distance running?

If you only lope big circles how can you expect to run small circles?

The physical training of those muscle groups is important.

Unfortunately, many of us ride horses that are not broke or responsive enough to do these controlled maneuvers. Unfortunately still, we don’t necessarily know they aren’t "broke".

Ride with more skilled riders. Learn more about body control. Learn about body mechanics. If you want to win, step up to the plate and master the fundamentals.

Little bit of showmanship practice for timex from a couple weeks ago. He’s such a good boy and remembers his job very well.
