"𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐈 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐊/𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐓?!?!?!?!

At most shows, especially the local level, there are usually Walk/Trot classes. They are not remedial classes, they are there for a reason. Due to the newness of Ranch Horse a DIY culture is still hanging on, but as time goes on, this is shifting and its shifting fast . There is a lot of training required to successfully compete in Ranch Horse, its not the add-on that it once was.

Stay in Walk/Trot and take advantage of it, I promise its not that easy to win(just because your horse can lope DOESNT mean he'll do well, trust me). Then, when ready, move into the W/T/L divisions. Even then, consider staying in a Green Horse W/T/L division. The jump between Green Horse/Rider and Open/Amateur is huge.

Move up the levels, its the only logical way to progress in Ranch Horse.

The skill ceiling is HUGE in this discipline. Just because the point of entry is so attainable doesn’t mean this sport is not worth the respect. It takes time to go through each division, moving up the levels.

Thanks for Reading!

We had an awesome day at our farm where the Southeastern Game Show was held! My daughter and I did the drill team performance together (no pics yet), then Sydney got to run barrels and poles and do some gaming on Theo. They did a wonderful job together!!

Hi all! I will be out at the Southeastern North Carolina Game Show tomorrow at King Farmstead (1937 Ashton Lake Rd, Burgaw). I’ll be accepting a limited number of saddles to clean and a few repairs. I’ll also have a couple of items for sale, including some barrel reins, an older Tex Tan saddle, and some rein keepers. We will also be raising money to support Horton Rehab rescue. So stop by and see me and come enjoy the show!

Hi all! I will be out at the barrel show at Looking Glass Acres tomorrow if anyone needs to drop off saddles or repairs! Shoot me a text if you’re coming, or just ask for Teri Knox Dickinson when you get there. I also have a saddle or two for sale and a few other items. Come check out the show and stop by and see me!

Here is our class list for Saturday March 28th! We did shimmy the times a smidge earlier, Leadline and Peewees start at 10:30.

We will have a barrel sidepot! Just a reminder, if you run your division and open, as well as enter the side pot. We only roll over the fastest time.

Please note- we will be limiting the number of exhibitions to 2 per rider initially and a total of 60 tickets. If we run through them faster than anticipated we will allow purchase at the arena gate. We hope this helps us be more timely this season!

We plan to use the gate closest to the trailers as our in/out gate to reduce the chaos closest to the judges stand.

We look forward to seeing y'all!

“Wow! It’s looks brand new again!”

That’s the response I got from the owner when he saw his saddle that I delivered this morning. That’s the best compliment I could ever get! Thanks, Buddy, for letting me clean this beautiful saddle. 🥰

UPDATE! It’s done. I’ll get better pictures Sunday but here it is just finished in my shop. Scroll to the end of the photos to see!

Here’s a fun one! I’ve got this hard working roping saddle on the bench now. I’ve found dirt, sand, spiders, cobwebs, and dirt dobber nests, not to mention corroded buckles from all the sweat! Stay tuned to see how it turns out!
