INTRODUCING THE NEWEST MEMBERS OF OUR TRAIL PAL TRAINING PROGRAM
Last winter, our first new prospects arrived that were specifically chosen to take our training program in a new direction. Putting our emphasis on suitability, we looked for youngsters with quiet temperament, quality conformation, a coachable attitude, and eye catching color and appearance. The goal: produce and develop a gentle, well trained trail horse, capable of providing many years of pleasure and companionship. Well folks, we feel we've hit the jackpot with our first two selections!

However, a spring growing spurt combined with the decision to spare our pregnant mares the additional stress of a rigorous riding schedule, allowed us the opportunity to begin his training a little sooner than originally planned. Nearly everything we've done so far with this little guy has been a non-issue. First saddling, not even a rounded back; first mounting, stood like a rock; first ride in an arena, walked right off. That first arena ride was followed later that morning with a nice two hour trail ride complete with hills, mud, water crossings and step overs. There were about five in our group and we gave Deece the chance to be in the middle, back, and even lead for awhile. By the time the weekend was over, he had already logged about eight hours of saddle time broken down into two hour sessions. You would have thought he had weeks under his saddle, not just a few hours. Now with two weeks of training complete, capped off by a long Memorial Day weekend to End of the Trail Campground and over 40 miles of riding in Wildcat Mountain state park and the Kickapoo Reserve of central Wisconsin, his training is progressing at warp speed. Whatever you ask of this guy, he just does it! He is starting to respond to beginning neckrein requests and has picked up on leg yields, moving softly away from leg pressure. We are doing some long trotting and introduced the lope. It won't be long before we'll be putting the polish on his gaits. With the quiet attitude, willingness, and try possessed by this little feller, we are confident he will be ready to go by July 1st. Now we know, based on conversations with prospective customers over the years, a lot of folks have a tendency to shy away from young horses. But keep in mind, our program consist not only of training exercises, but also tons of trail miles. By July 1st. Deece will have logged well over 200 miles. I'd be willing to bet there are a lot of 10 year olds out there that don't have that kind of mileage on their odometers!! Here is an opportunity to own a top quality, beautifully colored, well trained individual with the mental makeup of horses three times his age. This guy is sure to be a solid trail companion for many, many years to come. Price on DC Blue Bonnet $4,500 Includes four more weeks of training Available July 1st (Stay tuned for his first video)

LUCKY LITTLE WHIZ IT 14.3 H 2006 AQHA MARE CLICK HERE TO VIEW VIDEO This mare is so quiet and willing. She has personality plus and always tries to please. She has had 8 months of professional reining training put on her by Melanie Wilhelm of TX. before we purchased her. Since owning Whiz we have introduced her to working cattle and trail riding along with her reining work. She has taken it all in stride. We decided she was such a nice mare that she needed to go to a home where she could be finished in what she is bred for, reining. Whiz has a nice start on her turns and really wants to stop. Her lead changes are natural. Down the trail she goes alone or with others. She is not marish at all. NRBC & RHRHA Price on Lucky Little Whiz It $8,500
