| TRAINING OPTIONS |
WHAT TYPES OF TRAINING DO WE OFFER?
We have always been known as the "fun barn". And we have enjoyed that "distinction". We like to encourage people to
do a lot more with their horses than merely go around in an arena. We believe that exposure to other things makes
your horse better for everything - including the Show Ring. For example, after riding out on the trail there is nothing scary left
about an arena. Also, your horse gets exposed to many different types of footings out on the trail. The horse learns to travel
in a cadenced rhythmic motion over any type of ground. This is great because the horse can excel in any Arena, whereas
other Show Horses fall all apart. Further, the trail offers relaxation time and a "brain break" from the mundane arena.
We took what we have learned and started a riding school. And because some kids like
goals we started a Riding Team. Adults and Children go to Shows together. We all have
shared responsibilities and costs. This helps keep the Show fees down to a minimum and
enables everyone the ability to Show if they want to, in addition to fun events.
AMATEUR CLASSES AT BIG CLASS A SHOWS - THEY ARE COOL!
We did not agree with locking our horses up in their stalls all the time, and so we kinda steered clear from large scale, high
pressure, training barns, unless we agreed with their methods. We also believed in riding our Straight Egyptians besides just
Halter. As a result, we got into Showing with a bunch of fun Amateurs. We would go to the CLass A Shows, in groups, and
have a blast! Sure, we had a Trainer to guide us, but we were also pretty self sufficient. We marveled at people who were not
allowed to ride their own horses unless it was in a lesson! And we laughed when we would beat their trainers.
These are great classes in which to win prize money too.
It is so much fun to go to Shows with folks who are in it for some fun and who
are laid back enough to help each other. Shows should be fun and not merely
about winning a ribbon. Shows can teach your child about the responsibility of taking
care of their own horse. They learn to create a bond with their horse, and then their
horse works twice as hard for them. Its a partnership. But most importantly, they
realize a little bit of work is fun. This makes Mommy extremely proud and Daddy
actually wants to come and hang out with everyone. The Daddys would get together
and cook everyone Breakfast or Chilli. That is pretty rare isn't it?
TIRED OF GOING TO SHOWS FOR MERELY A RIBBON?
Well now that we are Standing a Stallion we are going to have to spend some time on the Class A Circuit in order to promote
him. It has been a while for us because we have been so busy building our Big Boarding Facility and Travelling for our jobs.
But we look forward to some Horse Show fun! However, we want the Show atmosphere to be exactly as we remember it. We
do not want a high pressured, nervous environment, were the blue ribbon means everything.
If your interest is to have fun at the Shows, and still be able to hang out on the trail,
or take your horse camping, or attend a CTR or ER, or .... then come train with us!

So some weekends we would be Showing and other weekends we would be doing a trail ride, or camping, or taking horses swimming to Lake Conroe or....We like all equine activities and think they can compliment each other. |
| Why should a Horse Show be about the win? It should be about personal enjoyment. After all, people do not go run the Boston Marathon to win! So why do they go do it?... And this is exactly what kids need to learn. Of course it is icing on the cake when a win is had and we all get to cheer! And its really cool when you beat the Pros!! |
