This is Dollie’s rehabilitation and transformation journey with me

Two weeks ago I took in Dollie an almost 4 year old AQHA Quarter Horse mare. She was malnourished, infested in worms, her hooves were really odd and my farrier said due to lack of nutrition the hooves didn’t grow properly. With proper nutrients she hopefully will recover and start growing healthy hooves. She was sore all over due to lack of selenium which causes severe muscle soreness in acute deficiencies. She could hardly walk. The first week she was here I got her hooves trimmed and assessed by my farrier, she was vaccinated and dewormed. She’s been on high quality feed ever since her arrival and daily grain and vitamins with added selenium. She’s recovered now and pain free! She’s free from parasites, she’s shedding all her hair and getting a healthy summer coat. Dollie is now healthy enough to be out with my herd and she’s settling in well with them. She will be started on my training program this week and will be broke to ride in a few months!

I specialize in problem horses, youngsters, horse rehabilitation and achieving softness and a better relationship between horse and their rider. I not only train horses but humans as well. Not your typical riding lesson but I can, if you so choose, teach you to train your horse! I’m always available to help answer questions or share photos or videos upon request to better illustrate my advice. I’ve mastered the “don’t break the bank” way of keeping your horse healthy and cared for while on a budget. If you walk into almost any large barn in Oregon you’re bound to meet a horse I trained or sold! I’ve trained over 623 horses and counting! I post updates as I receive them from clients and buyers. Thank you for taking the time to browse and hopefully learn something new!
