I have the privilege of managing an endurance ride this year. Sponsors help elevate our ride tremedously!

Hey horse people and business owners! The only Iowa endurance ride, Field of Dreams Dash is accepting sponsors for this year’s event! Started by Iowa Distance Riders this ride is focused on bringing the sport to our state and growing the community.
Hoofcare specialists, trainers, massage therapists, saddle fitters, and so many more people are crucial to making the endurance horse a successful athlete. If you have a business you’d like some publicity to, please contact me here or the email below!

If you’re interested in riding, make sure to mark “interested” on the facebook event page! https://www.facebook.com/share/18wWp78eN2/?mibextid=wwXIfr

My 2 polar opposite rides currently; Smokey🩶 who is a heffalump as wide as he is tall and doesnt go anywhere fast, and Jolene💥 who isn’t sure what slow is😂 This job is so fun because each horse is so different and teaches me to be a versatile horseman!

Duke and Jake go home this weekend from their spring tune ups, ready to tackle the trails this summer! I have one more slot open for April if you have a horse you’d like some time put on.

This warm weather has been a blessing to get horses started! Getting kiddos out for their spring refreshers and getting some youngin’s started for the year. Also, LOTS of napping (Rojo’s favorite activity). Lets hope this more snow thing isn’t real!

Thank you guys for following our journey. I told my son the other day as we talked about rodeo, life, sacrifices and goals…

“I would rather try and fail, than never try at all.”

and I thought that was worth sharing. To succeed at anything… you’re going to fail 1000x over. You fail. You learn. In fact, I have learned the most… by failing. I hope I set a good example for my son, and I hope I inspire some of you to chase your goals. If I can help just one person, it was worth it.

We talk a lot here about people who talk negatively, since being in the light brings out a lot of darkness. My reasoning behind that is I want you to see that:

1. People will talk whether you’re winning or losing.

2. That they can say whatever they would like and it truly doesn’t affect what *YOU* accomplish.

3. That even if you’re being bullied, I hope I can show you to laugh it off, make a joke, and forget about it. Next week they will hate me for something else.

I don’t share any of those things to be negative, I share them to show people you can live your best life no matter what anyone has to say about you.

Live your life for you! Chase your goals! Your dreams should scare you. Go after them anyway…

It’s hard as a trainer not to get caught up in progression when horses are only here for a month. Push, push, push to get the most out of them.

Especially when starting a horse we can get caught up in them being able to do a certain amount in a months time.

Here’s a secret though, the best trainers won’t push your horse to do the “most” in a month, instead they will build your horses confidence, teach them the steps they need, and also give them the mental breaks they need.

If a horse gets something perfect when I’m working with them it’s not uncommon for me to step off and put them away right there. I recently had a horse that could NOT get his right lead, instead of trying over and over again I worked on fundamentals every day and didn’t even ask for him to lope. One day I asked for his lope to the right and he got it right away. This was only about 10 mins into our ride and I STEPPED OFF and put him away. The next ride was amazing he got his lead every time I asked.

The benefit to training this way is that you are building a mentally sounder horse. It’s really just the cliche saying “live in the present” don’t be concerned about what you need to accomplish in a certain amount of time, instead stay in the present training session. Focus on what your working on for the day and you might accomplish even more then you imagined. Pc

What a year it has been! Year #6 for Treimer Horses has been one of the best yet. We added so many new faces to the herd, found project horses homes, gave lots of lessons, started great c**ts, spent countless hours in the saddle and at shows, and made so many improvements around the farm. None of this would be possible without all the amazing support from friends, family and clients. Can’t wait to see what another year brings!
