Our philosophy is simple....  
1st...We buy the best breeding we can find. Think of it like this... if you want to win a drag race, do you want a VW under the hood or a Porshe? It is the same with barrel horses. Starting with a great pedigree is the first critical step. We buy a lot of horses that have run on the track, but not all super barrel horses have a Speed Index.

 2nd...We then look for pretty horses with good conformation. You are investing your money in a horse that should get the job done, with minimal side effort. Poor conformation can lead to numerous problems down the road. Plus, when looking to resell a horse, conformation is critical. Potential buyers are not wanting to buy your problem. They are looking for a solution to win!
3rd...We then spend the serious time it takes to make a winner on the pattern. We try to be exact and consistent each time we ride. We want horses to learn the "right way" and not learn any bad habits. Many lifelong problems begin in the first 30 days of training. Sure, almost anyone can take a horse around barrels, but that does not mean they are giving the horse a foundation for a lifetime. Only experience keys you in on very important basic fundamentals that are essential. .

We will not take any outside horses during the winter months due to bad weather, and we have to many of our personal horses. You are more than welcome to check back with us during the Spring/Summer to see if we have room for outside horses.

CLINICS... We will come to you or you can come to our facility. Call us for more information. Clinics are a great way to learn and also make money for your club or group. We offer personal attention you will not get from most professional trainers.
