He is ready for his forever home, with someone who has the skill set to further his training, or place him with a trainer to get him finished. Contact us or the CHANGE program for more information!

Thank you to CHANGE for allowing us to help better the lives of these amazing animals you have rescued ❤️❤️

I’ve had a few girls the last couple years want some help with their barrel horses. We’ve all been to barrel races and gymkhanas and watched horses not want to go in the gate, rearing, bolting etc. Out come the bigger bits, tie downs…….and tears. **Frustration begins where experience ends. ** Then comes the line ….”yea, he IS a barrel horse.” 🤦🏻‍♀️ There is a better way. Do they get hot? Heck yea, they know their job and are ready to do it. Does that mean they should get away with crappy, dangerous behavior? Absolutely not. There IS a better way. Tune into the NFR. Those horses run faster and cleaner than Jane at the local barrel race, and they come down that alleyway anxiously waiting….but waiting, for their cue to go.

Let’s all do better by these horses. Let these ladies at the Finals be an inspiration to gain better knowledge of horsemanship for speed events such as barrel racing.

I want to take a moment and send a huge shout out to Dr. Courtney Lewis with Peregrine Equine. Dr Courtney has been a huge part of my success in making better horses. Whether it’s diagnosing mystery lameness, chiropractic work,  or something in between, Dr Courtney always has a way of improving the horses I have in my care.
My success is your success, my friend, and I am so thankful to have you and your skill set as a part of my barn!

Dr Courtney has also just become a first time mom, so congratulations! Your little girl’s gonna have the best mom, and I can’t wait to watch your journey ❤️

Every so often I get a horse in that I’m not very excited to work with. That would be Olive. Boy did she prove me wrong. She has turned out to be such a great mare, I’m sad to see her go!

Anyone heard of a Canadian? And I don’t mean a maple syrup drinking hockey loving human, I mean a registered Canadian horse? This cool guy came to me for some behavioral problems, and it’s been fun getting to know this breed I had never heard of. He is like a giant Shetland pony…. Adorable 😍.

Some people really want a horse to be light and soft in the face, but there are times when they get “behind the bit”, and when you pick up the reins, nothing is there. You want to at least feel the horse in your hands. This guy is learning to stretch out and not avoid the bit, in case you’re wondering what’s going on in this video. He is a very cute mover! ❤️

“Arnie” our CHANGE program horse is coming along nicely!! He is so friendly, sweet, and quiet, but we don’t think he has had much time under saddle. I’ve been fortunate to have one of my “now grown up” barn kids to help me put the first couple rides on this guy. Emily graduated from Feather River College last year with her BS in Equine and Ranch Management, and I’m helping her put those c**t starting classes to use! Emily has been a great help, with her soft feel and quiet hands. We are happy to have her back at the barn with us!

We are excited to see where Arnie ends up. Keep your eyes peeled for updates from us and the CHANGE program.

Proper groundwork is so important, that most “problems” people have with their horses, can be solved just by going back to the ground to settle their brain, gain respect and teach them how to move their body in the way we need them to.
The beginning and end of the first session….. I look forward to how this mare comes long. ❤️

CHANGE program is at it again! We are lucky enough to help get these two horses started under saddle, to prepare them for finding their forever homes. “Oreo” and “Arnie” will be up for adoption in the next couple months….. check in here or with the CHANGE programs page for updates! We think both these horses will make someone very happy ❤️
