| Looking for someone great in or around the TX panhandle. I like a fancy handle. A reiner/cutter/cowhorse trainer or someone with that background. Any suggestions? |

Location: West Texas | Are you looking for a colt starter or someone to put a handle on him (meaning already green broke). Generally there is no handle put on a colt during breaking and most performance trainers don't take colts to break anymore. If you are looking for a really good cowhorse/versatility trainer for several months to put on a foundation and handle, we may have a spot in Midland, TX. We don't have any openings for breaking, but I can refer you to a friend of ours that will do you a good job, if that is what you are looking for.

| I'm looking for someone to break a colt. Put the first 30-90 days on them with a foundation that will lead to a fancy handle. While I understand they are all individuals, at 60-90 days I feel they should have a good stop, know leads, have decent transitions, turn on their hind end, turn on their forehand, have hip control at a walk/maybe trot, sidepass, move laterally, hold a lope in a small circle. I don't expect them to have all these skills mastered or do them with speed, but I want someone that starts the horse with at least all these maneuvers. I want all the buttons installed, and I will fine tune them. ;) I was disappointed in my last experience, and the colt certainly had the ability and mind to accomplish them. |

| Josey Groves in Canyon - if she doesn't she might know of someone
Kirsten Pohnert (flybynight), Becki Mask (scootnfast), and Tammy Goldston (overnunder) might know of someone
Steve McConnell in Hereford used to I think - not sure if he still does

| Stacia Burnett. She has extensive history in cutters, reining horses and even barrel horses. She has several videos on her youtube site. If you weren't highly satisfied with her I would nearly pay your bill I'm so confident in her! Your horses come back broke but not broken down and healthy, shiny, etc. 806-220-3663 is her number (hopefully she doesn't kill me for giving it out so publically) ;) |
