It starts in the saddle.
Learning, adjusting, showing up — even when it’s not perfect.

A good horse teaches you…
a great trainer shapes you…
and trust ties it all together.

The process isn’t always pretty — but it’s always worth it.

We primarily work with a variety of stock horse breeds, occasionally we get in something different.
I will admit my love is in the stock horse industry, but to be to most well rounded horseman and trainer possible. you have to be able to adapt to and understand as many breeds, types and disciplines as possible.

This sweet Friesan mare really likes posing for the camera 🧡

2 Timothy 1:7
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

All put together power, love and self discipline create a boldness. When I think of boldness the first thing that comes to mind is that "chestnut mare" the one that challenges the rider, the one that stands her ground. She is not easily swayed. Her presence is know and her voice is heard.
As Christians we need to be more like that chestnut mare, God has given us a boldness. We must gently stand our ground, and not be swayed by the world, we need to be present in this world, but boldly proclaim God's righteousness. Not all will understand, not all will invite us in, but we must hold fast to His loving hands of guidance.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11
A green horse is anxious, constantly testing boundaries, and fighting the pressure of the bit. They don’t understand that the rider’s guiding hand is for their protection and direction.
As humans, we are often just like that green horse. God promises in Jeremiah 29:11-14 that He has plans for our "welfare and not for harm," yet we fight the bit. We want to take the lead, we want to run our own path, and we panic when God calls us into a season of waiting
True horsemanship, much like our walk with God, is about moving from resistance to responsiveness. It is about trusting the Master's hand so completely that you stop fighting the pressure and start moving with it.
He is not trying to break your spirit; He is trying to train you for a purposeful future.

... I will bless you, so you may be a blessing to others.
Genesis 12:2

The Lord has beyond blessed me! He gave me a passion for training horses when I was young. From that passion Hes has brought horses and people into my life, to teach me and build me into the trainer I am today.
Life has moved my business multiple times and he has sustained me each move.

I strive to share my passion with all, in the hope that I will be able to bless them in even a small way.
