ⒸⓄⓃⒼⓇⒶⓉⓈ!!!!

Jamie and Scar were able to get a piece of the pie at the National Team Roping in Montrose!

We love being a part of our horses and their people’s journeys even after the purchase! Being able to meet such incredible people that become friends for life is one of the many things that makes me love what I do! We can’t wait to keep watching Jamie win and are so glad to have met Susan and him along the way!

🐴💰 LET’S TALK ABOUT HORSE PRICES… BECAUSE APPARENTLY WE NEED TO. 😂

We’ve discovered something absolutely fascinating in the horse business…

Post a $15,000 horse and suddenly everybody’s phone battery is in danger. 📲🔥

“Is he still available?”
“Can you send 47 videos?”
“Does he neck rein?”
“Can my 8-year-old ride him?”
“Can he sort cows, drag a log, trail ride alone, babysit Grandma, and probably do my taxes?”

THOUSANDS OF INQUIRIES.

Post a $5,000 horse…

🦗
🦗
🦗

Apparently everyone’s Wi-Fi goes out. 😂

And then we get the messages from people with a $4,000–$6,000 budget who want the $15,000 horse.

They don't want the cheaper horse because:

“He doesn’t neck rein.”

“He’s a little pokey.”

“He has some arthritis.”

“He has an old scar.”

“He isn’t fancy enough.”

“He needs more training.”

“He’s older.”

“He has a quirk.”

MY FRIEND… YOU HAVE A $5,000 BUDGET. NOT A $15,000 BUDGET THAT YOU’RE TRYING TO MANIFEST. 😂

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

GOOD HORSES AREN’T CHEAP.

CHEAP HORSES AREN’T NECESSARILY BAD.

BUT CHEAP HORSES ARE RARELY PERFECT.

And there is a HUGE difference between a cheap horse and a bad horse.

A $5,000 horse might be a perfectly good horse that simply isn't finished like a $15,000 horse.

Maybe he doesn't neck rein.

Maybe he's more “Whoa” than “Go.”

Maybe she's 18 instead of 8.

Maybe she has some arthritis.

Maybe he has an old scar.

Maybe she needs another 30 rides.

Maybe he isn't going to win the World Championship, but he'll pack your kids around the trail all day and stand tied to the trailer without turning into a rodeo. 😂

THAT'S CALLED REALITY.

The horse doesn't care what you wish your budget was.

The seller doesn't control the laws of economics.

And Facebook Marketplace is not the Make-A-Wish Foundation for horses. 😂

If you have $5,000 to spend, that's GREAT.

There are good horses in that price range.

But you need to decide what you're willing to compromise on.

Want a finished, fancy, young, sound, experienced, neck-reining, bombproof, push-button horse with no blemishes, no arthritis, no quirks and 15 years of experience?

You're probably going to need to move the decimal point. 💰😂

Want to stay under $5,000?

Then maybe your expectations need to come down from “future world champion” to “honest horse that will get the job done.”

And honestly?

Some of the best horses we've ever been around weren't the prettiest, fanciest, most expensive horses.

They were the ones that were HONEST.

So know your budget.

Know what you're actually looking for.

Know what you're willing to overlook.

And quit expecting a $5,000 horse to come with a $20,000 résumé. 😂

Because if you want the $20,000 horse…

Bring $20,000. 🤷‍♂️🐴

The horse market isn't broken.

Your expectations and your wallet just need to have a meeting. 😂

👇 Now let's hear it…

What's the biggest thing you're willing to compromise on when buying a horse?

And what's the ONE thing you absolutely refuse to compromise on?

Let's see how honest everybody really is. 😂🐴

“I didn’t think the day would come, but it has and I’ve been avoiding writing this post since. 𝗥𝗛𝗥𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗟𝗶𝗹𝗗𝗼𝗰 𝗮𝗸𝗮 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿, went to his new address.

Tears we absolutely shed and the decision didn’t come lightly. For me Scar may be a once in a lifetime horse and I hope that every roper gets to swing a leg over a horse like him at least once in their life! Scar absolutely LOVES his job! He’s honest, loving, fun and so many other things.

He taught me so much! He made me the roper that I am, showed me what it is like to win and gave me the confidence to be able to win on any horse, on any stage! Scar made such a difference in my life and provided me with so many opportunities just as he did for so many others.

While I absolutely cried, I know that he is going to do great things with his new people! They’re going to love him as much as I did and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for him to land!

07/17/2026

I really enjoyed some of the bullet points in this post. I would like to think we check most of these boxes!

We know it takes time to make a horse, that is why we ask for a 3 month (90 day) commitment on all horses! We work hard to keep our facilities and horses clean and presentable, that’s why we have a hired braider to give a spa day to each horse weekly! And we can’t wait to show our clients the new facility we’re working on!

Oh and don’t forget Ralphie! He’s the first to greet you when you step out of the truck and will try and get all the loves he can while you visit!

Question we get asked time and time again at clinics!
“How do I know who to hire as a horse trainer?”

That’s a damn good question. Because hiring the wrong one doesn’t just waste money, it wastes time, confidence, and sometimes a good horse. This isn’t about calling people out. It’s about knowing what to look for before you ever unload in someone else’s yard.

Here’s a general way to sort it out.

Red flags to think twice about

If you start stacking these up, it’s time to slow down.

❌ Willing to take a horse for under 90 days. Good training takes time. Anybody promising quick results is selling hope, not horsemanship.
❌ Charging under $1300 a month. Feed, labor, facilities, insurance, and miles all cost money. If it’s cheap, something’s getting skipped.
❌ Asking to use your tack. A professional should have their own tools and know what works for them.
❌ No hired help around. Sure, some good trainers work alone, but a crew adds accountability. Horses get rode even on days a trainer doesn’t feel like swinging a leg over. And yes, some folks don’t ride as much as they claim.
❌ Won’t send videos or updates. If they won’t show you the work, that ought to tell you something.
❌ Horse isn’t being rode within 30 days without a real reason. At that point, hook up and haul home.
❌ No personalized plan. One program for every horse is a shortcut, not a system.
❌ Dirty tack room or chaotic barn. It doesn’t have to shine, but total disorder usually shows how much pride someone takes in their work.

Things to look for

These don’t guarantee a great trainer, but they’re a start.

✅ The bow legged, sore backed, complaining cowboy or cowgirl. Miles leave a mark.
✅ Lots of saddles and bridles. Experience shows up in the equipment.
✅ An arena and a round pen on site.
✅ A horse trailer.
✅ Makes an effort to see you once a month and show you your horse. Training shouldn’t be a mystery.
✅ Gets horses out of the arena to shows, trails, roping, hauling, and real life work.
✅ Ethical and honest, with high standards for horse care and straight forward billing.
✅ Adaptable. Adjusts to the horse instead of forcing the horse into a program.
✅ Clear communication. Can explain things and listen just as well.
✅ Understands pressure and release and tries to guide a horse before ever getting heavy handed.
✅ Sets goals for both horse and rider instead of just burning days.
✅ Has good reviews and a reputation that holds water.

One last thing most people overlook. Watch their dog. How it acts around them and their help will tell you plenty. Is it watchy and avoiding folks, or relaxed and glad to see you? Animals don’t lie.

None of this is gospel. There are exceptions to every rule, just like there are in training horses. But taken together, this’ll save a lot of folks from wasting time on trainers who talk bigger than they ride.

Good horses don’t come from shortcuts. They come from honest work done day after day.
