Great advice from our buddy Ben Eike at Bent E Quarter Horses!

Your horse isn’t a robot. Stop trying to hold them in the “perfect spot” and correct every millimeter that drifts off where you think it should be. Do the opposite.

Start riding a circle and let your horse come off it. And when I say “come off,” I don’t mean two inches — I mean 15 feet. Then your job is simple: bring them back to the line and completely let them go.

Your horse discovers the release of riding on the circle you’re drawing with your eyes. They learn where to balance themselves, how to carry their body, and when it’s okay to just keep loping. If they drift off again, bring them back, then let them find it themselves again.

This is how horses learn to carry themselves and think for themselves. You’re not correcting every tiny imperfection — you’re teaching balance, confidence, and independence. And honestly? Your stress level drops too. Win-win.

Three rules matter more than anything, in both horses and life; be kind, put in effort, and learn and grow from the missteps.

MSU Holly Dun Time, along with the rest of the show string, are more ready than ever for the next Lavaca Ranch/Reined Cow Horse Show in a couple of weeks!

I can confidently say that my customers and I are all thrilled to have such an awesome NRCHA affiliate nearby to show with!

If there's anything better than riding pastures for keeping a show horse's mind fresh and eager to learn, I sure haven't found it!

In fact, it's my favorite post-show routine, after a day of turnout! It keeps horses from getting bored and burned out in the arena, and is just genuinely good for their souls!

Zips Hollywood Image (Hollywood White x Zips Magic Man) sure is turning into a cool one!

This sweet mare is available and has a ton of potential to go any direction, and improve your breeding program when she retires!

Come out and try her out before someone else snaps her up!

The show string took a little field trip to the Live Oak County Rodeo Arena today, where we met with the new Live Oak County a horse Club and helped coach youth from throughout the county!

There sure is a lot of young talent looking to learn in this part of the world! If your kid has an interest in being a part of this club, please come out to our next meeting on April 27 at 3PM, and ride with us!

Blessed to love doing something, even more blessed to make a living doing it!

A year ago no one could get Tessie (Hollywood White x Let The Magic Begin) to take a step. Now she lopes around calm and pretty.

There's nothing quite as satisfying as seeing a horse realize their potential! Give me a call and let's talk about how we can bring the best out of yours!

I don't usually teach kids to ride from the ground up, but when the nephews want to start riding, you'd better believe I'm going to make it happen!

Waylon and Huddy knocked it out of the park today! They learned how to steer, stop, and back. Give it a year or two and they'll be trying to get me to let them go down the fence! 😅

We've started off the show season with a bang and don't plan on slowing down!

We have a solid group of non-pro, amateur, and open horses showing this year so feel free to come ride with us, or just come on out and cheer us on!

Wes Weber Performance Horses currently has two openings, and we'd love to help you achieve your goals!

Our program focuses on reined cow horses, but also places a heavy emphasis on the importance of a correctly started c**t.

Wes actively shows in the National Reined Cow Horse Association, and coaches non-pros and amateurs in both reined cow horse and reining. Give us a call today to discuss how we can help you reach your horse's potential!
