So proud of my crew for stepping out of their comfort zone and competing in their first NCHA show of the year. here's to many more!
It was a good day to get everyone out of the arena! #goodforthemind
"Rooster" is offered for your consideration. Rooster is 4-5 years old the gentle in your pocket sweet little guy, ready to go do whatever you want but gentle enough to sit and hop right on type guy. I started him last year and he was the perfect colt to start. Owner is on the mounted patrol until so he has done some of the training, ( Gunfire, smoke grenades, tarps, etc.). He is the ideal project horse!!
How's everyone's week going so far??? Show season is here! I have to say the fist two shows were a success and most of all FUN! I have 2 spots open in my program. Come have some fun with my team and I this summer!
Fun weekend at WNCHAShow 1-2 April 3-4, 2021 first show! Proud of my crew!
Hope to see everyone in Reno at the livestock for western nevada cutting horse association's first show of the year! Let's go have some fun!
I still have my 5 year old gelding for sell mainly because I haven't advertised him. The video is him working a flag with a beginner cutter, but I will say he will need a more experienced rider as he's not finished. More stop then go. Everything is there to go onto do whatever you wanted just unfortunately don't have the time for him because he is my own. Asking 15000 Please don't waste my time with a ton of questions I'd rather you just come see and ride him!
Proud of these girls marking a 72 for the second place win and pulling a check in their first ever GCCHA cutting.
Are you ready for the end of this week?
We have a fun group this year Missing a couple. Fun lesson day!
My right hand gal this summer! Welcome to the team Veronika! It's going to be such a great year! Lots of good things happening here in Vinton California!!
10 year old gelding for sale. Would make anyone a great horse! Been used at brandings and tons of ranch work! No spook or buck. Very kind in your pocket type horse. If interested please contact me! Video available apon request. I will not send multiple picture and videos come see him if you're serious!!
Creating an order for hats! Let me know who's interested ill set up a link when done!
When I told Dancer its only Thursday
The best ones are the ones that were "given up on" #gamblersheadacre
Starting colts I always get asked what I can get done within a month. That is one of the hardest questions for us trainers! There's so many things that go into starting colts. Number one they are a clean slate, so the first month is what they will always revert back to. Two every single horse is so different, they are just like us! Some catch on quick, others take a bit more time. And lastly you have to be willing to trust the trainer you choose to start your colts! This, I think, is so vital in anyone's program. After all these are your babies. So that being said I wanted to engage with everyone and ask what are your "expectations" when sending a colt to someone or even starting a colt??
Yes!! I see this so much! Us as humans always think just one more good stop, one more spin, one more move on a cow or whatever. Know your horses and when its time to quit. This is HUGE in my program.
this is so true in all aspects of life! Make sure your seeds are planted in good soil to become beautiful flowers ... #2021herewecome
I have one spot open in my program for the rest of 2020!
I'm making custom horse hair necklaces! It takes just a little tail hair. I can personalize them a bit more with colors or just the beauty of your favorite horses hair! Pictures DONT do them justice on just how beautiful they really are (trust me). Contact me for more info :)
End of the club show year, its always bitter sweet for me as a trainer. With that being said I am so incredibly proud of everyone in the barn! 2020 was rough but man did you all make it a good year!! First off I'd like to congratulate Nikki winning the non pro. Second Roger improving 100% in every aspect of his riding and coming in second in the 2,000 limit. Id like to give a shout out to Becky sticking with me with every single horse we tried this year for in the end she fou...nd her unicorn and is excelling so incredibly much on! Also Veronika for getting bit with the cutting bug, finding such an amazing mare and excelling in her dream to show in literally 3 months. And lastly Andria, it was a tough year with work and the whole crazy in the world right now you made do with the time you had to ride this year and improved so much on your Cutts. All that being said I APPRECIATE each an every one of you!!! Getting to work with you and your horses this year made 2020 go by fast. Looking forward to what next year brings. #onehappytrainer #2021lookout See more
Miracles happen every day, change your perception of what a miracle is and you’ll see them all around you. I captured such a beautiful moment yesterday when all the stars aligned and nicole got her dream horse. Its really the small things that make the biggest impact. Up until this moment I didn't realize the power of a hug, I didn't realize all the emotions behind everything that fell into place and what it meant, for this moment I was so grateful and realized that some things are out of our power, that no matter what, whats meant to be will be.
I feel so so grateful when past clients come back and trust my program! I can not thank Randi enough for everything from bringing me her gentle giant to now taking cash to Oklahoma to a big boys world and making him into everything I and owner nicole ever wanted!. I will miss them both SO much! But I'm also so excited for new beginnings for both horses. Thank you and congratulations on your new purchase
When they send you the wild ones .
I have been SO busy I am unbelievably so far BEHIND on my fb page!! Couple new additions to the KJ performance team! Im so incredibly proud of both these individuals. Becky has been with me for years, took that literally long journey to find her unicorn and omg did she find it!!! Welcome to the team "Bizalizaloo" and might I add Beckys very first show she went out and kicked butt marking a 73!! Also there's "Deja Baloo" Veronika has brought a few colts to me before I knew her dream! Well I feel like she found her unicorn also her fourth time even cutting cows let alone showing for her first time she got it done marking a clean score 70.. I am so so incredibly blessed these ladies and horses are in my program and I can not wait to see their future with them!!
I have an 8 year old gelding for companion or someone that wants to take the time to get him going again. Sweet, and gentle in your pocket type horse just needs to be "rebooted" to be safe to ride. Ive worked with him for a little over a week now. Hes easy to catch, leads, ties, and saddles. Just NOT ready to ride! I have very little info on him but from what I worked with he gentle just needs TIME!! We are asking a small rehoming fee to ensure he goes to someone that is going to take care of him! I do have one small video of me just lunging him in comments. Please pm me if interested!
My "Dually" this little red horse is constantly ahead of me, and unfortunately being my own horse hasn't gotten the chance he deserves. I know im not making an "aged event" horse but he will be pretty cool when he's completely finished and I'm ok with that!
Can't tell if I'm smiling or gritting my teeth. I myself am not where I want to be but my horses sure do try for me. #blessed
The most rewarding experience is when bonding becomes a trust
Both these girls got their horses back yesterday. Unfortunately my phone won't load videos so I took some screen shots put of their videos. I appreciate both of you and trust in me to train your sweet mares they were both a pleasure to work with!!

My Callender opens up on the 18th! I have a few spots open!! Pm me if interested they go fast!My Callender opens up on the 18th! I have a few spots open!! Pm me if interested they go fast!
This little mare has been a pleasure to work with. Everyday she tries her hardest to please you no matter what you're working on makes my job so much more fun!
First show in the books. It was a great one! I'm so proud of Nikki, Andria, and Roger! They all did great! Now Monday catch back up on everything else time.

My social media game is so strong I've LITERALLY let this year pass me by so far! I've had so SO many amazing horses and people in my life this 2020. I just want to let everyone know how much I appreciate the support and good vibes! With the crazy world we live in its been a breath of fresh air. Thank you!
Tyler.. I feel like every horseman/woman has horses that make them who they are today. Tyler is definitely one that taught me so SO much!! I've been trying to figure out what I was going to say without him in my life without being so emotional. I did not realize how much he impacted me as a trainer. Those of you that truly know Tyler know he wasn't the easiest, BUT that being said (mainly because people take everything the wrong way) he was the most rewarding horse. I will miss him so much but I know he found what he truly loves to do. I cant wait to see pictures. Thank you Becky for letting me have Tyler for so many years in my program,Thank you!! I do want to thank Dave Thacker for helping sell him and finding him such an amazing home! Tyler you are truly loved by the way whole barn. I am so glad I got the pleasure of having you .
All a girl needs through social distancing is some good ground, warm sun and her horse. Hes seriously the biggest love there is.
Putting it in slow motion really shows you what you need to work on. Losing confidence in yourself is the hardest thing to over come. It takes small steps everyday. Dont give up on your dreams, dont lose hope. I'm not where I want to be but I'm not giving up. #gettingbetter #stepbystep
I have someone looking to buy a younger then 10 year old under 4000$. Doesn't have to be broke broke just good minded. Bigger horse is a plus. Show me what you got!
Looks who goes to the gate waiting for his next day of "work" everytime I walk by. #humansarentsobad
No matter how big or small sometimes we all need a little confidence.
Our new cutting horse prospect. I think he'll be a good one!!.. Duncan helps me with all my starters. Yesterday he brought mr. Mike over to blow around in the wind with us.
CONGRATULATIONS Donna! You and Freddie are going to have so much fun! <3
Along with having a prepared horse how do you mentally prepare for your horse?
Just a quick reminder! My books fill up so fast in March, April and May. As of right now I have two spots open for those months! I'm super excited for this year and cant wait for show season to start!
It's been such beautiful weather for the beginning of 2020! What are you riding goals this year?
This year went by so fast I cant even believe it! Just wanted to give these three ladies a HUGE shout out for trusting my program! Each and every one of you have been such a big part of this whole experience. Thank you!!! Cant wait for next year!!
This pretty girl is still up for grabs! 12 year old go do anything type horse. Would make a great sorting horse! Been roped off of, rode outside and good to be around. Little but thick!
Hello everyone! I have a super cute little mare up for grabs! Would be perfect for a sorter or ranch type horse. Shes been there done that type. Nice stop and nice handle. Please feel free to share! Someone missing the boat on this girl.
So I have a little mare up for grabs! Super nice little girl. Been there done that just needs a job! PM for details
So I've been MIA on my page lately! Sometimes just takes a few people to believe in you. You all know you you are! Thank you <3So I've been MIA on my page lately! Sometimes just takes a few people to believe in you. You all know you you are! Thank you <3
Today was a hard day for me, as I said it before I get attached to every single horse that comes into my program, pistol had a special place in my heart. He had a little rough start before I got him so it took time to get him to trust again, when he finally trusted again he became my buddy. Today after nine months he finally went home I'm still pretty emotional about it but I know hes ready to go on to make that rope horse his owner set out for him to do. Sometimes I think we all forget what an impact each horse has on trainers, each an every horse takes time, love, and dedication every single day, we learn something from each one everytime we handle it. Pistol definitely impacted me teaching me patience, love and kindness. I'll never forget him and I hope he gets to impact someone else with his love and kindness. <3 <3
I'm so appreciative of recurring clients. The wolf's have brought me a few colts over the years that have been a pleasure to work with! Phoebe is one I got back for a tune up and she did great! Thank you for trusting me with all your babies!! <3 <3 (unfortunately the original video I had isnt on my phone anymore. So we just get a clip!)
Its always a little tough sending them home as I get so attached to every single horse that comes into my program whether it's a year or just a month. But I cant wait to hear about this next chapter for nevaeh and veronika.
Annika worked so hard to get my aunts horse feeling better. After she was done poquita trotted to her pen then ran an bucked she felt so good. Book her now to get all your babies loosened up and feeling better! <3
Happy September everyone! Cant believe we are already half way through it already!! I have a few spots open for October! Also we have upgraded our outside arena! This allows us to work buffalo easier and the ground is so awesome!! Also we will be working cattle through these next few months! Come join in on all the fun!!
This is what makes this job worth it. The smile on her face says it!! Love when my clients can be hands on in my program! #rideseven
17 year old mare. Very sweet and gentle to be around. Would make someone a nice little companion. Please contact Kim Rapp for additional information.
Thinking of doing a clinic!! What's everyone think?Thinking of doing a clinic!! What's everyone think?
