TEACHING YOU HOW TO TRAIN HORSES.


We are a family of 12 that loves having fun with horses. We want to teach you how to train horses so you can have as much fun as we do. This is our story.

JUST A PET.

We'd always had a horse/pony or two. They were occasionally ridden, as much in the backyard as actually going out on the trails.

A BIRTHDAY PRESENTWhen our Beth turned 10, she was given a three-year-old, "halter-broke" filly. Dad (Ted) was understandably concerned for Beth's safety. He started researching different horse training methods. We found the one that works for us is the Downunder Horsemanship/Clinton Anderson Method. 

ALL IN

Once we got started, we went all in! We started teaching people and training horses. Ted has a passion and gift for teaching people how to train their horses. What he loves doing most is sharing the knowledge and skills he has developed. We've been teaching since 2013 as a family company. A few of the kids have branched into their own specialties with horses, while others are less interested. But we all pull as a team.

THE KIDS' SPECIAL INTERESTS


Terrence, the oldest, has taken up trick riding. He also has intensely studied Pete Ramey natural hoof care and takes care of the hooves of the family horse herd as well as a few clients.

THE MOVE

In the summer of 2018, we moved a family of 12 and their 18 horses from a 2.5 acre property to a 39 acre property. We are unbelievably excited to have the space to build our dream horse training facility.

The property had no features on it, so we are building everything ourselves.

THE KIDS' SPECIAL INTERESTS

Beth still has the mare she got for her birthday. She had a wonderful career as a lesson horse. Beth has started a Welsh Pony breeding program (Alainn Welsh Ponies) and a social media brand entitled "Real Pony Girls". 

Her younger sisters, Laura and Sarah, help Beth out a ton with her lessons, ponies, and YouTube channel.

TODAY

We are continuing to teach people how to train horses, so they can learn how to communicate and have fun again.

We hope to see you at the ranch this year!
