We have had a very busy first half of 2010 at MR Performance Horses. Limited in the number of horses we could take in with only Rex riding, we were booked full every month. Due to how time consuming breaking colts can be, we are limited on how many we take in for colt starting. Please keep in touch for current rates and openings.
**We strive to produce QUALITY horses not a high QUANTITY**
Breaking ~ At MR Performance Horses located in Ocala, Florida we offer professional breaking & training for your horses. We are dedicated to starting colts slowly from the ground up building a nice foundation that they will have for the rest of their careers. From trail riding, breaking race horses, pleasure, team penning, to barrel racing.... No matter what discipline you ride, you always need the building blocks of a foundation. Mandy & Rex like their colts to have soft mouths, good minds, and be able to use respond to their riders with weight movement and the slightest cues. Rate for colt starting is $650.00 This rate includes individual stall, shavings, individual turn out, high quality grain, alfalfa and alfalfa/timothy mix hay, and training. Our training fee is due when the horse comes in and is expected to be paid in full. Any entry, hauling, stall, farrier fees etc will be billed at the end of the month.
*Open stalls to take in Halter Horses for showing too*
Training ~ At MR Performance Horses we take in horses that need additional training, schooling, finishing, and tune ups. We have take in several older horses that have needed refreshing and working on the basics for their owners. We do not do a lot of arena riding, but like to keep our horses fresh and happy. We like to ride in the fields, teach horses to open gates, pony other horses, and take them out to work cattle, but at the same time we will work them on the barrels when needed. A happy horse will learn so much more and come along a lot farther with a fresh willing mind. The training rate is the same as the breaking and colt starting rate~ $650.00 The rate for hauling to shows, races, arenas, practice pens locally is $5. If there is a different show, jackpot, or somewhere you would like your horse to go, we will bill for that as well by the mile.
BARREL TRAINING ~ MR Performance Horses specializes in barrel racing training. Here in Central Florida we offer training from start to finish for your barrel horses & barrel prospects. As much as we love to train horses, barrel racing is for teams consisting of the horse and rider. We work with the horses and then add the client, striving to get them working together as one. We keep the barrel racing horses fit and fresh, working them at the house mentally and physically schooling and training when needed, and not more. Horses are very fragile, and we work very hard making sure to always add something to a horses training, an not take it away. There is a fine line between doing too much with a horse and not enough. With years of experience training horses we have a good grasp on horses, their minds, and keeping them happy! Rate for Barrel Training/Campaigning is $650.00. Hauling to local practice pens, arenas and shows is $5 per hauling, please specify how much you would like your horse hauled. Entries, exhibitions, arena fees, stalls, etc will be billed to the owners at the end of the month.

Transport to shows & events ~ If we are traveling to a show, event or competition and have an opening on the trailer, we will usually let it be known. This year we had several trips to Texas, New York, Ohio, & Pennsylvania that worked out well for some clients needing horses shipped. We are not commercial haulers, but professional horsemen/women helping out others. We work together with McDuffee Quarter Horses in lining up transportation to bigger shows if he has spots available as well. **Check back or email for upcoming trips**
We encourage the owners of their horses to come and get lessons while your horse is in training. Its always a good idea to get a few lessons during and afterward to have the best shot of understanding our training program. Call for prices and availability.
