Team Roping Horse Training
We train horses for team roping by building their foundation in trust, responsiveness, and cattle handling. Starting with basic groundwork and riding, we teach them to move off leg and rein pressure, stay calm around cattle, and track steers smoothly. As they progress, we expose them to roping scenarios—heading or heeling—so they learn to rate cattle, stop correctly, and hold position. The goal is to create a safe, consistent, and easy-to-ride horse that allows ropers of any skill level to practice and compete with confidence.
Barrel Racing Training
We train horses for barrel racing by starting with a solid foundation in basic riding, including body control, softness, and responsiveness to cues. Once they’re confident under saddle, we introduce them to the barrel pattern slowly, focusing on correct positioning, smooth turns, and controlled speed. Consistent repetition helps build muscle memory and confidence. We also work on conditioning, balance, and mindset so the horse stays focused and calm. The goal is a fast, agile, and dependable horse that can run a clean, efficient pattern every time.
Ranch Horses
We train ranch horses to be versatile, dependable, and ready for any job on the ranch. Training starts with solid groundwork and riding fundamentals to build trust and control. We expose them to real ranch work like gathering cattle, sorting, roping, and opening gates, teaching them to stay calm, responsive, and sure-footed in all kinds of terrain. They learn to handle long hours, work alone or with other horses, and adapt to different tasks. The goal is a confident, all-around horse that a rancher can rely on every day.
