*Pending*

4 year old gelding that just finished up his first 90 days.

Athletic gelding who is quick with a big stop. He has plenty of go when asked. Will excel as a rope or barrel horse. Pretty gray and is already 15 hands. He has no buck, bolt, rear. Good on the ground, stands tied and is easy to catch. Has shoes on currently and ready to go on with somebody’s program. He’s destined for the rodeo arena!

Asking 9 located in Gill Colorado

Excited for the new venture out on my own!! Couldn’t be more thankful for everything I’ve learned and gotten to be apart of the last few years! Thanks for everything Monique Horsemanship

I am now located in Gill Colorado and have some openings this spring! Stall with a run attached, specializing in c**t starting, stock and versatility horses, and tune ups! Come say hi or book a spot for training! We will be heading to our first show of the year the end of January!

I want to take a moment to give a huge thank you to Austin for everything he’s done for me and my business. As some of you may know, he’s heading out on his own, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support, hard work, and dedication he’s shown over the years.

We’ve been through a lot together over the past three years, and I can’t express how much I appreciate him. I wish him all the best in his new venture. For anyone up north, I can’t recommend him highly enough—he’s truly fantastic!
