Owner Interaction
We encourage our owners to visit their horse in training every 30 days. Our ultimate goal is for a horse that YOU can ride and enjoy!
Owners are also encouraged to bring other personal horses to ride with us up the sand wash, in the arena, or in the round pen if desired. Interaction while your horse is in training is not required if not desired.
Real Life Experiences
We believe that horses need arena work but real life interaction as well. With 12,000 acres of BLM and a 30 mile sand wash out our backdoor we have the country! We have real life ranching opportunities that horses have the chance to experience while in training with us. This can include, shipping, doctoring, hunting, packing, and much more valuable experience that working horses need.
