Lazy P Ranch Horse & Mule Training

Starting, tuning, and putting miles on horses and mules.

Building broke, willing, dependable partners with a solid foundation, a good mind, and the confidence to get the job done.

We teach more than just riding in a saddle. If you need one trained to work, and drive, we’ve got you covered on that too.

And since everybody seems to enjoy following along with the ongoing adventures of “What’s Zoe Gonna Do Now?”… here’s a little excitement for you. 😂 Getting on didn’t go quite as smoothly as planned, but she stayed with him, worked him through it, and showed him there wasn’t anything to worry about.

Training doesn’t always go according to plan. 😂 This mule wasn’t too sure about the water, and somewhere in the process Zoe ended up soaking wet, missing a boot, and probably questioning a few life choices.

Not exactly how we planned the lesson, but sometimes the best training comes from the situations you didn’t plan for. Everybody was fine, the mule learned something, and Zoe eventually got her boot back. 😂

Tag along with us as we make our own trail on a client’s horse and our little mule we just started under saddle. Nothing fancy—just getting them out, putting some miles on them, and seeing what we run into along the way.

And if you listen close at the end, you can hear Zoe mumbling under her breath making fun of me after I told her how to jump the ditch. 😂 Apparently she didn’t think she needed my advice!

A week ago, this mule would’ve rather kicked you than looked at you—ask me how I know. 😂

He was scared, defensive, and had a bit of a mean streak. If you tried to lead him, he’d pull away and try to drag you wherever he wanted to go.

Fast-forward a week, and he’s already heading in the right direction. This was his first ride, and we kept it simple—just gave him time to think and figure things out.

He handled it extremely well. Still plenty of work ahead, but he’s come a long way in a short time, and I’m looking forward to what he becomes.

Never know when you’ll run into the Floppy Man out in the wild.

Good horses are made by exposing them to all kinds of things—and sometimes the unexpected shows up.

Meet Zoe, a key member of the team. She has been riding for years and began assisting with horse training a few years ago. Since then, she has steadily built her experience in the saddle, strengthening her ability to read horses & mules, make sound decisions, and handles challenges as they come up. She is now a capable and trusted part of the training program, confident in starting a horse or mule from the ground up on her own.

She is pictured riding a client’s horse we currently have in training, working on leg cues and neck reining.

You usually only see the good side of training, but accidents happen. This ride took a turn when the mule got stuck in a muddy ditch and flipped over. Thankfully, Zoe and the mule was okay—just a few scrapes, bruises, and mud in places it shouldn’t be.

Situations like this are exactly why we expose horses and mules to as much as possible in training. You can’t prevent every accident, but you can prepare them to stay calm and handle pressure when things go wrong.

It’s not always pretty, but it’s part of the job. Grateful this one ended with everyone walking away.

Teaching them to take it all in stride.

New obstacles, new situations, and different things to figure out. Building a horse that stays calm, thinks for himself, and keeps moving forward.

“You don’t build a broke horse in an arena alone. You build one by putting miles on, crossing obstacles, and teaching them to handle whatever the trail brings.”

Ride ’em enough, and they’ll learn “whoa.” Teach ’em to stand, and they’ll learn patience.
