Stache Ranch

Thirteen years ago, Stache Says was just an idea. This weekend, you could help test it.

You know that idea you can’t quite let go of—the one that keeps coming back, even when you don’t know how to make it happen?

That’s been Stache Says for me.

Over the years, I’ve asked for help, found guidance, and slowly learned what it takes to turn an idea into an app. There’s been a lot to figure out, and I’m grateful for the help that’s brought it this far.

If you’re working toward a dream of your own, don’t let someone else’s doubt decide how far you go. Use it as fuel. Listen to honest feedback, take what helps, and make your next attempt better.

The Stache Says app will be ready for beta testing this weekend, starting with iPhone users! 🐴📱

Stache Says gives you audio cues to bring purpose and variety to your riding practice. Now I need your feedback to help improve the app.

If you ride horses, use an iPhone, and want to test it, email your name and contact information to [email protected] with the subject “Stache Says Beta.”

Already used the original website version? Share in the comments how Stache Says helped improve your riding. Did you find a gap in your training, improve your transitions, or get more focused in your practice? Your experience could help someone else see what’s possible.

You’ll get to try the app, put it to work during your rides, and help shape what comes next.

Ride with purpose. Better your best.

Want a say in what’s next for Stache Says and online video coaching? I need your help testing two new tools this week.

1. Try a new format for STACHE SAYS
Already using Stache Says? I’m looking for 3–5 beta testers to try a new format, use it 3–5 times this week, and share honest feedback about what works and what needs improvement.

2. Test a new video coaching app
Want feedback on your ride? Help me test an app designed to let your trainer or coach review your riding and provide video coaching.

You’ll need to film and submit a short, focused riding video this week. You can:
• Work on one specific challenge.
• Show yourself riding with Stache Says.
• Ride a ranch riding pattern.

I’ll use your video to provide coaching while testing how the app works in practice.

You don’t need a perfect ride—you need a willingness to try something new and tell me the truth. Your feedback will help shape tools you can use in your training.

Interested? Message me your email and which beta you would like to help with Stache Says, Coaching app or Both.

You know that moment when your horse starts to understand the job—and you can feel something click? This past weekend, Rusty gave me one of those moments.

In the first photo, I’m riding Laurie Doman’s mare, Diva. Born, bred, and trained for cutting and reined cow horse work, she knows her job and loves it. Riding her feels like getting behind the wheel of a purpose-built sports car. When you get that much power organized and working with you, every move feels electric.

In the second photo, I’m riding my horse, Rusty, at the Ultimate Ranch Horse Experience this past weekend.

What had me grinning was feeling him track the flag on his own. He was finding a purpose in the movement and taking an interest in the job.

Then I saw the photos.

That posture. That poise. That drive. I could see glimpses of what I’d felt riding Diva—and seeing those qualities coming through in Rusty made me even more excited about his development.

A photograph captures a split second. But when that image matches the change you felt underneath you, it means something.

That’s why your foundation matters. Every transition, every change of direction, every time you help your horse find balance and understanding—you’re building toward a moment when those pieces have a job.

And when your horse starts putting them together? That’s a feeling worth working for.

What’s a moment with your horse that made you think, “There it is. We’re getting somewhere”?

Big lightbulb moments in Cottonwood!

Sometimes an exercise clicks—and suddenly you understand why you’ve been practicing that maneuver and how it helps you get a job done with your horse.

That’s what made this weekend’s Ultimate Ranch Horse Experience so rewarding. Between working the flag, working cattle, riding through purposeful exercises, and using Stache Says, you had the chance to connect your foundation to practical ranch work. We saw some big breakthroughs along the way!

A heartfelt thank-you to:
🤠 Stache Ranch and W Spur Horsemanship for bringing the instruction and practical ranch experience together.
🏡 Our host, Laurie Doman, for sharing her facility and putting so much care into the weekend.
📸 A.K. Photography and Videography for capturing the experience.

And thank YOU for showing up, asking questions, trying something unfamiliar, and putting your trust in the learning process. Your willingness to work through a challenge is what makes those lightbulb moments possible.

Next year, we’re planning to give you even more: an extra day and another clinician, with more time for stockmanship, horsemanship, and roping—in and out of the arena.

What else would you want to learn or experience to put this at the top of your clinic list next year? Drop your ideas in the comments. Your feedback will help shape what comes next.

👀 Keep your eyes out for the details. We’re building next year’s Ultimate Ranch Horse Experience into a can’t-miss weekend for you and your horse!
