My Cute Funny Grandsons

New Students and Training

Nathan is planning on helping out on his grandpa's ranch. He's learning to be a good hand.
This is Nathan's older brother. He's learning balance so he can help out on the ranch also.

Hannah loves horses and is a tough girl. She tries hard and never complains.

They're coming along well .

Maddie has been taking lessons for about five years. She's now training and preparing to assist next year.

We've been team training on "Sonny" and "Hero". They are both coming along great.

This is an unusual photo of the sky that I was able to capture and want to share.

Let's Get Started!

As you can see the snow has cleared, the sun is shining, horses are doing what they do best...eat! They've been well fed and are healthy and ready to get started! I've scheduled students for Saturday, March 27th, 2010. We have a few openings left for that day.

Plans for this year include a riding and training camp, and clinics. More info. will be posted as time approaches. Contact me at (208)716-0035 or leave comment on this post.

Photos from Spain and London 2007

Chad, Kye Leah, and I had the opportunity to travel to Europe in 2007. I found these photos and wanted to share some highlights .

I was amazed, at the size of the horses in London and Spain. The guards of course remained still and silent. The horses were calm and well mannered.

We enjoyed our visit to this magnificent training school in Spain. It was immaculate! We however, got there during the time when everything shuts down for the afternoon. A traditional siests time.

We were still able to watch a few trainers exercising and practicing.

I loved this part of Spain and would return in a minute given the chance!

Hoof Care Year Round

This is Captain's hoof. It obviously needed attention. I had to find a new farrier.
I was impressed with "Mark" and his professionly trained skills as a "Hoof Care Specialist". What he said and did to improve my horses performance made sense. He got it right the first time and I had several grateful horses.

I highly recommend "Mark Chapman" as a hoof care specialist, plus he is dependable, honest, fair, and a nice gentleman.

I love the sunrises and sunsets here.
