MT Pockets LLC - Horsemanship Lessons & Colt Starting Building better partnerships between horse and rider through consistency and feel. Offering Groundwork, C**t Starts, and Lessons.

Focused on safe, willing horses you can depend on. Welcome to MT Pockets (Empty Pockets) Performance Horses. I learned to break out and train horses under the supervision of Mike Simmons at M&L Ranch in Wisconsin for about 5 years. My mother supported my dreams and I showed at the Open Show and State 4-H levels for 10 years with a horse that has more heart than natural talent. I fell in love with

Showmanship, Horsemanship, Equitation, and Trail. Once I was riding under M&L Ranch I learned to enjoy western pleasure and Hunter Under Saddle. My goals for myself and my up and coming horses are to show at the AQHA level for Showmanship, Equitation, Ranch, and Reining. My main goal here as trainer is to help rider and horse accomplish their goals and then some. The best feeling is watching a team you help create succeed in the world. I would consider my training to be more pressure and release, but also use positive reinforcement. I am constantly learning new ways to better assist and train each horse. No two horses and two riders are the same! The most important word is Whoa, if we don't have a whoa then we go back to the basics. Thank you for taking the time and checking my page out, any questions do reach out!

I got my 3 training horses worked and even treated myself to 3 of my personal ones.

Fun things getting planned!

Get this on your calendar, we will be thrilled to have you.

"Adults" can be teenagers. Have a few horses to rent if you don't have one, but want to join.

Longer day than last years so we can cover more skills and a bonfire.

Horses will be tied to your trailer when not being used, no stalls available.

Please note small date change. ๐Ÿ“…

Great opportunity for anyone wanting to jump into the horse world or someone that'd like a good refresher. Can always learn something new. :)

Are you or someone you know looking for a resource on everything you need to do to care for your horse? Our next South Peak Academy class is just what you need!

Next week we will be presenting a Beginner Horse Owner Guide. Weโ€™ll cover everything you need to know to give your horse the best care, including:
โœ… when and how to do preventative care (dentals, vaccines, dewormer)
โœ… proper hoof care
โœ… nutrition
โœ… safety and handling tips
โœ… pre-purchase exams and choosing the right horse for your needs

You will also have a chance to practice essential skills, such as:
โœ… giving oral medications/dewormer
โœ… giving an injection
โœ… getting vitals (heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature)
โœ… and more!

Each participant will also be provided with a record sheet for each of their horses and a preventative care schedule to reference at home.

To RSVP, please call or text us at 406-403-6583 ๐Ÿ“ฒ

SOLD

Softly Listing Annie in case someone is looking for something like her before the show/4H season starts.

I still have a few things I want to get her more consistent on, but it wouldnโ€™t hurt to put her on someoneโ€™s radar.

Obsessed with Okies - Annie
APHA, mare, 2023

She was softly started last year and was my main mount for overnight camps and trail rides. She already has over 30 miles in the Bob and packed an elk out this fall.

Sheโ€™s been hauled to every show last year and showed in the last 406 Arena Show and placed in the Green Horse classes.

She is super in your pocket puppy dog, great minded, and constantly wants to please. I used her in my lesson program this fall and was loved by the students.

She is started in showmanship and learning the buttons for showing, but needs someone to help keep her going.

Still green, but well on her way to be your perfect family horse. One you can take to the mountains or show.

Happy to answer any questions.
