Tip: Never coil rope or reins around your hand.
The horse could easily drag you and cause serious injury.
 When leading a horse out, keep the stall door all way open,
to avoid bumping the horse's hip or shoulder. If the horse gets  bumped
a few times, he will start charging through doorways and gates.

Horse Lover
          I understand that most of my customers are horse lovers, not just horse owners.
They view their horses as members of family and believe they deserve
 the same level of care and comfort. I monitor each horse in my barn,
or holding pens, paddocks every few hrs. for water consumption,
 feed consumption,
 emotional & behave signs of stress, illness, dehydration.
Will keep you up  to dated on any changes.              

 Horses Come First

Tip: To keep a horse happy, clean feet before and after each ride.
Would you like to walk around all day or days with a rock in your shoe?
Plus they will have healthier hooves, by letting air into hoof, keeping hoof rot away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   $250. / Month Full Board:
Hay {Good} 2 time day.  Oats 2 times day.
 feed and water 2 times day.

Tip:
 Having clean and dry stalls,
 is best for their hooves and lungs,
Keeps horses happy and healthly .
Horse can get  thrush, a smelly, painful  hoof condition,
and heaves a lung problem.
You can have a barn too closed up & air tight
or bad moldy hay . Fresh air is very important.


Health  Care
All horses at Lazy K Ranch are on the
 same worming program.
All are current on coggins and shots.

Tip: How is a horse groomed in the wild?
They groom each other,  they only let their best buddies {friends}.
Let the wrong horse in herd groom you, he may hurt you.
So by grooming your horse you become his buddy and plus it
is good for him and they love it!

I can do it ! Or  you can learn how!
I firmly, Believe that  successful horse  "Training" starts with "Owner Training"
 Everyone wants to get along with their horse, but we have to convince the
horse  that it's a good thing or great deal for him too! A big plus, by teaching the owner
 how to teach their own horse, they learn to communicate  and gain control of their horse.
A relationship is not made, It is built on communication, respect, and trust.
When training a horse for an owner, we can not transfer this  relationship, it has to be earned.
So many times horses are put into training, only to go home to their  people who do not
understand how to reinforce what was taught. By changing this pattern, we can  make  it a
win -win situation!    Education is the key!
No one knows all the answers, we must be open to new ideas. I will always be learning and
looking for new & a better way. My methods are based on 3 rules. I can not get hurt,
 the horse can not get hurt, and the horse must be calmer after the lesson than before.
By thinking like a horse and understanding their way of thinking. We understand them better
and makes us better trainers and leaders.
