So much goes into the makings of a 4J horse.

Weโ€™re not in the business of getting a horse today and trying to sell him tomorrow. We like to take our time, put some miles under him, introduce him to different situations, and learn how he handles them before we ever offer him to the public.

After our March sale, we usually have only a handful of horses left. Many of those horses simply need one thing.

๐— ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ.

So thatโ€™s what they get.

Weโ€™ve been busy this summer putting miles and manners on some really nice horses. Theyโ€™ve been getting out of the barn and onto the trails, around camp, and into situations that teach them to think, pay attention, and trust their rider.

This is the behind the scenes part of making a good trail horse that you donโ€™t always get to see.
So we thought weโ€™d take you along and give you a little insight into ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฎ 4-๐— ๐—›๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ฒ.

๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธThe miles.
๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธThe training.
๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธThe experiences.
๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธThe good days and the days when a horse tells us he needs a little more time.

Because when we finally put a 4J horse up for sale, we want to know more about him than whether he can carry a rider down the trail.

Sometimes one picture says it all... a smile, a white horse, a splash in the river, and a little bit of rainbow magic. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ’ฆ

This is what I love about photographing the Piney. It's not just about taking pictures of horses, it's about capturing the smiles, friendships, families, and little moments that become memories.
