to civilization, we will find the hoofprint of a horse beside it." ...John Trotwood Moore
Welcome to
my website!
Are
you looking for a nice trail horse, dressage or pleasure horse? Well thats all I have.
I train my horses and I vet them before I bring them in. I spend many hours with
them daily. I only buy horses I would want for myself, I do not buy horses with problems, vices or soundness problems.
I do not buy horses from rescues or auctions but I do buy horses from their owners, sale facilities or trainers.
I will give you as much history as I was able to find out. I do ground training
on all the horses when they come in, gait training on gaited horses and regular training on non gaited horses. This does not
mean the horses are green, but I like to sell well broke horses, for example even a trail horse will need to sidepass
to open gates. I test them all, no matter how much training they have had or what their history is, so I can honestly
represent the horse.
I have a real
full time job and do this on the side. People always ask me why I do this, well, so many people are unable to find nice, sound
horses on their own in this area, or they are unwilling to travel far to find them or even spend the money to ship them. Good
horses are hard to find, and it takes someone with knowledge and horse sense to find the good ones. They may be more expensive,
if I have to ship them far, but how much is safety really worth?
If you find a horse with a great temperament, they will do almost anything for you, get one with the wrong temperament
and you'll understand why the good ones cost more.
If I represent someone else's horse on my site, it means I have ridden it and have tested it as well and again
will give you as much information as I have on that horse, its temperament and training. It does not mean I have trained this
horse or have it in training at this time.
I sell 1-2 horses at a time. My horses are trained using natural horsemanship techniques. They have solid foundations,
calm temperaments and lots of exposure in the arena and on the trail. They all have had extensive ground work.
My horses will be able to be ridden alone and with other horses on the trail, on
a loose rein. They have seen bikes, hikers, coyotes, cows, traffic, four wheelers and dogs. Some have
even seen rattlesnakes. .They go thru water, trailer, tie, cross tie, stand in the wash rack, clip, walk on a loose
lead and lunge. They will be respectful and kind horses. Most of them will also do some tricks as well - kiss, hug,
and bow.
Horses are the most amazing animals
if they are taught how to learn and to look for the answer. Most horses with problems usually do not have a solid foundation
and that is where the problem needs to be addressed.
Occasionally I will take in problem horses for retraining for the owner. I do not accept problem horses to retrain
and sell, and I do not sell horses with problems. If interested go to the training page for more information or to training
tips for videos.
