We took names & deposits for a waiting list this spring. December through June we were booked full for outside horses, and it looks like for the summer we are going to have room for more training horses with Mandy back riding. Due to how time consuming breaking colts can be, we are limited on what we take in for colt starting.
We strive to produce QUALITY horses not a high QUANTITY.
Please keep in touch for current rates and availability. Take notice of our summer special training rate. Save $75 a month until September.

herself better and getting a smooth fluid pattern. GREAT JOB LINDA!

PRAYERS BEAR- Bear is a 2006 Thoroughbred Gelding. Owned by the Charles' Family. I galloped & breezed Bear in Ocala before he was sent off to the Race Track. After being retired from racing, his owners were looking for a new career. I spent 3 months retraining Bear with about 30 days in the round pen. He has a great foundation on him and rides like a show horse. He really breaks at the poll and collects himself. Bear had about 45 days on the barrel pattern and was loping through slowly and was hauled to a few local arenas.
Here is a clip of Mandy schooling Bear on the barrels. He was sent back to his owners in January, and is getting lessons/schooled with MR Performance Horses.

"Ellie" ~ a 7 year old Sorrel AQHA mare that came in for a tune up on the barrel pattern in October 2009. Ellie had been to a reining trainer an spent a considerable amount of time in barrel training in KY, but seemed to need some more seasoning at fine tuning, specially with the first barrel. With about 45 days Ellie had a lot of riding to soften her mouth, freshen her head an get a better foundation on the barrels. She was hauled lightly an won a check in the 3D at Williston with a nice little run! Thank you Jennifer Bowman

went from loping
the barrels and looking for cattle to running 1D/2D times. I ran him
