Black Ice Performance Horses

One thing we have noticed working with a lot of the “GREAT” horses, is that they all have really bold personalities.

They have a natural confidence about them.

Often times they catch everyone’s attention, and make sure you know they’re there. However they can!

Maybe they seem a little diva-ish, cocky, and often what you may refer to as a HANDFUL.

But I think that’s what makes them great.

They’re passionate!

It’s hard to beat a horse that’s one built or bred for the job, but it’s even harder to beat a confident horse!

There is obviously a time and a place, but as your horse develops into a competitor, and really starts to step up, this is your reminder to let your horses personality shine, and I bet they become unstoppable.

2024 AQHA filly searching for her new 🏠 by Black Gotta Gun who is no longer standing publicly as of 2025.

She is almost 14h at the hip currently, will make a nice reining, ranch versatility or rope horse prospect. She’s a pretty mover with a big motor and a quiet mind. Very sweet and likes attention while still being feely. Leads, loads, hauls, has been introduced to clippers.

This is a horse the whole family can enjoy now and for years to come. To meet her is to love her. She wins the hearts of everyone she greets.

Jumping into the new year! What are some of your goals for 2025?

Mine include hitting the show pen at least 3x after a couple year break and get a few foals cooking for 2026 since I won’t be expecting any this year.

Have you ever worked for someone who constantly criticized you?

You might have done hundreds of things right in a day, but you never seemed to receive any praise for those things. You only heard about it when you did something wrong.

At the end of the day, you left work feeling defeated and unappreciated.

Now, think about your horses…

This is exactly how they feel when all you do is micromanage their every move.

When a horse is young and learning new skills, we are often quick to reward even the smallest effort in the right direction.

But, as a horse gets further along in its training and our expectations get higher, we often forget to reward them for doing the small things correctly.

We begin to nitpick their behavior and overlook the skills they have mastered.

We rush through the things that they do well so that we can spend more time on the things that they struggle with.

We think that, by focusing on their weaknesses, we will progress them through their training faster.

But, that’s not how it works…

If all we ever do is work on our horses’ weaknesses, they forget what it feels like to have strengths.

They start to feel like their efforts are unappreciated and unrewarded.

And, after a while, they lose their willingness to try.

Horses need positive affirmation. They need to know that their efforts are valued.

Don’t forget to remind your horses that they are doing a good job.
