We use the geldings to gather cattle and horses, work calves, check fence and the cowgirls ride just for fun. There are long horns, jersey cows, calves, a llama, a goat, a blue heeler and the usual Missouri wildlife around the ranch. We believe it is beneficial to expose the horses to as much as possible. We trail ride at Honey Creek and other conservation areas, and on crop ground, pastures and roads close to home. Most of our riding geldings are are taken to a feedlot in Nebraska as 3 year olds. The training, exposure and work ethic they come home with has been very valuable in their maturation process to becoming finished horses. We compete on the geldings in ranch sorting events. We ride the geldings consistently. We generally have 2 and 3+ year old geldings and studs available in various stages of being started with ground work and under saddle.
We worm our horses regularly and for geldings going to sortings or riding in public use areas, we give flu vaccine. We feed our geldings grain when they are ridden but believe they do best on pasture, hay, and protein tubs when they are not working. We do not keep our horses inside.
Another of our goals is to make training enjoyable for the horses and to make every effort for the horses not to have bad experiences. This does not reflect a lack of discipline, experience or being spoiled. We avoid putting horses in high pressure situations before they are ready in mind and physical development. We do not compete on any horse before it is at least 3 years old.
The younger colts and fillys on the pages of our site will grow up to be as good as any of our riding horses on this page.
It is very important to make the best match possible between horse and rider. Each horse has its own personality and every person is different. Our goal is to make the best possible match between horse and rider.
