Though we have 24 horses on site, most of them are trained reining horses ranging in age from 35 to 7 and do not need to be trained. The trainer would be responsible for keeping the stallions ridden and starting/finishing 4 young horses. The current staff is available to help tack up, exercise, warm up any of the horses being worked with.
Almost all horses on site have been born here and have been sired by stallions who have produced at least one million dollars in cutting, reining ,or working stock horse events. There are no boarders nor training of outside horses. Recently we changed our focus to using four of our home raised stallions to breed our mares. The stallions are taken off site to be collected and there is no breeding of stallions on our site.
The farm has been located at the current location for over 30 years and works closely with major community organizations such as the local college which has a program for helping young adults with learning difficulties discover the benefits of having a job in the equine industry.
