First All American Quarter Horse Congress as a trainer✅ A moment I will never forget!

October marks 3 years of DM Performance Horses. 🩵

Three years of choosing a lifestyle and an industry that challenges you mentally, physically, and in more ways than you could ever expect. It’s an industry that teaches you far more than just how to work with horses. It teaches you patience, resilience, hard work, and lessons that carry into every part of life. Through the highs, the challenges, and everything in between, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has trusted me, believed in me, and supported this program along the way. Every horse, every client, and every opportunity has played a part in shaping what DM Performance Horses is today, and I’m incredibly grateful for the people who have been part of this journey.

Three years in, and we’re just getting started. Here’s to continued growth, new opportunities, and an exciting new chapter that we can’t wait to share with you all. ✨

Always available for haul-in lessons and show coaching! Come stall with us too!🩵🙌🏽

🚨 HORSE TRAINERS, I NEED YOU TO RAISE YOUR HANDS! 🚨

Let’s talk about our DIY amateurs and youth exhibitors. 👏

Not everyone has the ability, desire, or budget to keep their horse in a full-time training program. But that doesn’t mean they don’t want to learn, improve, compete, and be successful.

And it certainly doesn’t mean they don’t deserve access to great coaching!

I want to put together a STATE-BY-STATE RESOURCE of horse trainers who WELCOME DIY exhibitors! 🐴

I’m looking for trainers who are willing to work with youth and amateur exhibitors who keep and care for their horses at home but still want professional guidance along the way.

Maybe that looks like hauling in for lessons, getting help with patterns, or having someone coach them at horse shows without requiring their horse to be in full-time training.

And here’s a BIG one: What about trainers who are willing to coach DIY exhibitors at major shows like the Congress, AQHA World Show, NSBA World Show, and other large events, even when those horses aren’t part of their regular training programs?

I know there are exhibitors out there who would LOVE to have professional guidance at these events but don’t know who to ask!

TRAINERS: If this sounds like you, introduce yourself in the comments!

📍 Your name, business, and STATE

🐴 What disciplines/classes you specialize in

🤝 Whether you offer haul-in lessons, horse show coaching, or BOTH

🏆 Whether you’re available to coach outside exhibitors at major horse shows

📲 How people can contact you

My goal is to compile these responses into a resource organized by state so exhibitors can find trainers who are willing to meet them where they are.

And to my DIY exhibitors: SHARE THIS POST! Let’s get it in front of trainers across the country!

Because supporting the DIY community isn’t about competing with full-time training programs. It’s about creating more opportunities for people to learn, grow, and stay involved in the horse industry.

Great coaching shouldn’t be limited to horses in full-time training. ❤️

2025 Gelding by WHEN IN CHROME

Cruise came in from the field today to run around in the arena. He takes everything in stride- tractors, dogs, loves other horses. This one stands for the farrier, loves to be groomed, and is just a sweet guy!

✨Butterfly Season✨
2025 Appendix Filly by Enticed (Papers in comments)

These Enticed babies are SPECIAL!

Bunny is such a loving and curious filly. She is always the first one to greet someone when they come in the barn. Has the look, presence, and personality to make her a solid show prospect. She is almost black when she has no sun-bleaching. This one is growing like a w**d and currently butt high. Strings to 17+ hands.

She lunges, bathes, clips, stands for the farrier, is quiet at shows, and is great with other horses in turnout.

She is built and ready for a show home!

Additional photos, videos, and information available upon request.

Yesterday Carl was busy checking on Nick Bauerle’s work to make sure he was doing a good job…

Thank you Arrow B Farrier Services for ALWAYS keeping our horses feeling good on their feet!

Big things are on the horizon for DM Performance Horses and I am so excited.

A new chapter, a familiar feeling of home, and a little hint about what’s to come.

Any guesses what’s coming next? 🩵

and Francesca DiVincenzo

These two had a great go in the L1 Amateur W/T Trail at the All American Quarter Horse Congress! We had a bobble in our box but, our biggest goal for this pattern was a clean L back and a clean gate- and they DELIVERED! That alone was a win for this team, something they struggled with all year.🩵
