1Stallion Services
We A.I. at the ranch and we ship semen. Some mares settle better at their own home with familiar surroundings; those are better suited for shipped semen. Some only settle with fresh semen; those are better suited to come and get bred at the ranch. Call the ranch for any breeding questions you have about your mare. We strive to make the breeding experience as easy as possible for the mare owner.
2Training
My training program is based on years of experience showing, riding, and competing. I have shown in everything from halter, western pleasure, trail, equitation, English, jumping, and barrels, and have studied under several top trainers: an Olympic equestrian team member in English and jumping, a multiple world champion trainer in western pleasure and horsemanship, and an NFR qualifier for barrels. This variety helps me make great barrel horses.
I believe you can't have a good barrel horse if you don't have a proper foundation first. Your horse should know his leads, break in the poll, flex, move off leg, voice, and body cues before he ever starts the pattern. I train a horse for the long haul and years to come, not for today or this weekend. My horses might take a little longer to get somewhere, but once they have it, it will never leave them. I do everything from putting a better handle on a green horse, starting them on the pattern, and problem horses, to finished horses that just need some tuning up. I take any stage and work from there to meet each horse's individual needs.
My program is not an assembly line. Every horse only gets ridden by me — there are no interns warming up horses for me. Every time you swing a leg over a horse you are training them, whether you realize it or not, and the way a horse is warmed up affects the way they train that day. There are no time limits: if a horse needs an hour and a half that day, then they get it. No two horses are the same, so I train them all to their own individual styles. Then I help the riders with their horses so they can become a better team before the horse leaves.
Call the ranch for more information and training prices.
3Private Lessons
I offer private one-on-one lessons at the ranch. I have a 150 ft by 300 ft arena with great dirt. I work with beginners who have never ridden, students who just need better horsemanship skills, all the way to rodeo-level competitors looking to shave a little time off. I also work with people on how to train their own horses. All ages and all stages welcome. I also offer group lessons and weekend clinics. Call the ranch if you have any questions about lessons.
4Prospects For Sale
I almost always have some prospects for sale, from weanlings to green broke to already started on the barrels. I also sell outside barrel horses for clients, anything from green horses to finished rodeo mounts, so there is a wide assortment to choose from. Call the ranch because we get new ones in all the time and they might not be posted yet. I try to match my riding horses with the correct rider; not all horses and riders get along, and I try to let you know if I think it will work out for you or not. Obviously we promote the OK Fuel and Dash For Cash bloodlines, but we do offer several others.
