Location: Texas | A- they put him in the hands of the highest bidder. That horse will want for nothing. He will have a fantastic home.
B- Tyler is that good. He's young but he's that good. The horses the ranch has now are often sold to South America as roping horses so the success he's had qualifying horses for AQHA World in the short time he's been there says something. You put him on horses that are bred to be barrel horses and he will make them shine. I trust him to ride any of my horses. Shoot I ask him for advice all the time. He's got light hands and a good seat and he knows what to do :) |

Location: Oklahoma | rodeomom3 - 2014-11-18 1:57 PM Tyler Rivette, he is the manager of Harrison Ranch, young kid, around 20. He is a good hand, quiet rider, I expect him to do well.
Wow, ranch manager at 20? That's impressive!!!  |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | DunIt - 2014-11-18 3:35 PM You would think that they would put him in the hands of someone with more experience.
You would think that if they have 87,000 dollars to spend on a baby, that they would put him in the hands of whoever the hell they felt like it. |

He has a great home. Thank you to all that showed interest in him & were not spooked about this ONE incident. I would love to have a LSOF. I'm glad he went to a good home. 
Wait...so the BAD one was a LSOF??????
Is it bad if this excites me :)
dhanover....honestly, I am THAT person that would be more interested in a "bad" yearling then a dead head. |

Aren't they all :) I am a die hard LSOF fan. I have loved that horse for years, and all his babies. 5 more months and hopefully I will have a healthy one on the ground :) |

I can't wait to see yours. I only have one broodie and I only breed her every other year since I keep them for myself and I'm only one person. One of these years I'm going to get her bred to LSOF. |

Hell I dont even know him and google doesnt show anything on him as far as barrel racing goes. Im just saying that if I spent 87K on a potential futurity colt, I would have him with someone that has a PROVEN futurity record. Yes I understand that they paid for him and they can do whatever they want to with him, I was just making a statment. Not attacking anyones credentials. |

Proven doesn't mean it's in the best interest of the horse. Sounds like the horse is in very capable hands. |

While I agree with your post about "proven" futurity trainers most of you have never seen this kid ride or "train" a horse. I don't know him personally but have seen him ride. Yes he works for Harrison Ranch but has not been there that long. They are known for roping and cow horses. Their previous trainer showed some in barrels and did pretty good but they are not known for barrel horses. I am very excited to see that they purchased this colt and I actually am surprised that he is going to be started by someone with so little experience. No I am not bad mouthing him just surprised by their decision. Yes it is THEIR decision but I would love to see them campaign and get that colt in more experienced hands. Of course, I have seen first timers win some of the big futurities. Good luck to Harrison Ranches and hope this colt has a very bright future. I would love to see them really get into the barrel horse business. Especially since they are so close. |

Training a rope horse that can earn AQHA points isn't a simple act of just roping one and turning it off. They have each step figured out to a science and what looks good. Why do you think JD Yates and Jay Wadhams pick showing AQHA over rodeoing? They make more money being successful at AQHA. Likewise they dont take their show horses to the NFR when it's all about being fast. Training a barrel horse is easy if you have common sense and horsemanship. Judging by your comment, you don't seem to want to give this kid much credit for what he has done. I'd never bet against a successful AQHA show person not being able to turn out a great barrel horse if they decide to. No, I don't know this guy that will be training the horse. But he obviously has talent to be in the position he is and to be trusted with high caliber horses. |
