I’ve been feeding Chaffhaye for almost a year now. Short of a catastrophic event, you’ll never find me without it on the ranch or the road ever again. It’s the HANDIEST forage to take on the road, and is  incredibly good for helping your horse’s digestive processes. Using Chaffhaye, I’ve cleared up ulcers in 3 […]

Using ropes and dragging logs is a great way to educate your horses and prepare them for future situations or career paths. I personally find it entertaining because I try and imagine a working scenario in my mind. You may see me dragging a log and you wouldn’t be wrong, but what I’m seeing is […]

When riding a green horse — or even 2 or 3 ride colt — outside for the first time, I have a few tips, for building confidence in that young horse and even in yourself.  We all know firsthand how overwhelming it can be, thinking about all the things that could go wrong on that […]

Yielding the hips is one of the most important things you can teach a colt to do. In the first video in this series, you’ll see Zach Ducheneaux working with a 4 year old mare. She’s not particularly tight. However, she’s not tuned into, or looking to the human to help her or give her […]

Hollywoods Bandit had a rough start to life. He is as sweet as he is beautiful and his future looks bright… but it was uncertain in the beginning. It was a warm spring morning on June 3rd, 2014. We had no idea of the emotional rollercoaster we were about to be on. During the foaling […]

The 2017 WSRRA Finals results are in, and it was fun to watch it all play out! Teams had traveled from near and far with big plans of roping fast and riding tough! Everyone gathered for the 2017 WSRRA Finals in Winnemucca, Nevada. Loops were thrown and broncs were ridden! You can tell how much […]

But, here’s one thing these ropers have in common: Build a loop. Hold it […]
