This is a small operation so all horses are closely monitored. Each horse gets individual attention, and feed is adjusted according to the horse's age, amount of work, and individual needs. The
owner lives on the property, and the horses are cared for and treated like family.
We provide a 60 ft round pen, arena, hill country trails, wash racks, stocks, and a barn with stalls and runs. All stalls and paddocks have automatic watering devices. All horses have out time, and because horses long for a herd, we want them to be safe in that herd.
We carefully monitor horses in small bands, giving them companionship and turn out. Horses are herd animals and need their buddies..They are brought in for feeding, and fed 2 times per day; pelleted grain and quality horse hay. Donna takes in nice horses that get along and folks who want to have fun with their horses!

Besides the round pen and arena, we have local wooded trails, an obstacle course, and hills to give your horse a complete workout! The trail obstacles for you and your horse make the horse think and the challenges are good for both horse and rider!
Horse Training
The Joy of True Companionship
One is Never too old (or young) to learn New Skills! Does your horse need a better foundation to build more trust? Do you have a horse ready to start under saddle, or one giving you fits on the trail? How about a horse you'd like a better handle on. Donna can put a good foundation and/or better finish on your horse. Does your horse need better flexion, a better headset, or improvement working off your legs? Do you need a better seat? Is your horse trail ready and desensitized to the environment? Are you interested in learning about endurance riding and getting your horse ready for a ride?
Donna has over 40 years of experience and uses her background in Dressage as a training discipline to work off legs and seat and uses Natural horsemanship to gain respect. She uses gentle but firm methods to train. Donna has spent years learning from professional trainers such as Pat Parelli , John Lyons, Clint Anderson, Chris Cox, and Craig Cameron. She loves going to clinics to learn from other professionals and applies all of her learned knowledge to teach each horse individually. Natural horsemanship techniques with lots of ground work gets the horse to accept people as leaders. They want to bond and we need them to respect and listen to us!
Remember that horses are prey animals and have a natural fear of flight built into them. We must understand this and build their confidence, based on horse psychology rather than intimidation. De-spooking is also very important and Donna has some great ways to build their confidence! Donna can also help with trailer loading , better finish, better control, a better walk, trot , and canter, trail riding, endurance riding, and much more. Need a better stop or nicer soft turns? Confidence and balance are also important factors. Donna has worked with numerous horses and their owners to create that partnership folks are looking for!
Donna teaches each horse to respect the rider, to have better manners, to engage its hindquarters, and to have better flexion and softness. Proper headset is the foundation to a soft horse that listens! Donna feels that softness in the poll is they key to better movement. Horses get versatile training with Donna, including round pen work, arena work, and trail work. " I think a horse to needs be de-sensitized to many environments, and I work horses to be quiet and to have respect. I love putting a better finish on a horse and love seeing the results with a happy horse!"
