Howdy guys, as some of you may know, I'm going to school, and got a bunch of video homework to do! So I'm posting it to my channel. This video is for the intro to colt starting class. The college here offers certifications through TQA (link below). Because TQA is a non-profit, they do take donations if people are interested in supporting the program / students. https://trainingqualityassurance.org/

Howdy guys, as some of you may know, I'm going to school, and got a bunch of video homework to do! So I'm posting it to my channel. This video is for the intro to colt starting class, and specifically on ground work. In it, I go over a basic introduction explaining the organization "Training Quality Assurance" used at the college. And then rate my horse using the TQA standards. This is essentially setting up the basic foundation for a horse, based on the industry standards. The college here offers certifications through TQA (link below).

Howdy guys, as some of you may know, I'm going to school, and got a bunch of video homework to do! So I'm posting it to my channel. This video is for the working cow horse class, and were going over ranch roping groundwork TQA industry standards. This video is essentially setting up the basic foundation for more advanced roping, horsemanship, and stockmanship skills that we'll practice later on in the class.

Part 1 of a video series talking about some of the strategies I use for fly mitigation for my horses.

Permethrin is the main ingredient in most fly sprays. You can find it in most feed stores if you’d like to make your own homemade spray and save some money. Main points: 1) Brush out the dirt first 2) Don’t spray on wounds, head, or face 3) Let your horse know what’s coming; start from the hoof and work your way up 4) Get the spots he can’t reach with his tail real good (belly, chest, legs) 5) If your horse is prone to roll after getting wet, let it dry before releasing him

Fall’s right around the corner, so the flys are starting to die off. But I thought I’d talk about the last 2 methods (that I think are the best) for helping our four legged friends deal with flys. The first is giving em a buddy with a natural fly swatter (another horse). And the second is taking the time to pickup those prairie apples. Also, one of the first jobs you might get on a ranch, might just be picking up poop. Don’t turn up your nose if your given that opportunity and want to have a job in agriculture. It could be a stepping stone. Hope this helps, God bless!

My bestest little horse in the whole world, Sir Winston, got to go for a ride today. He did really good. Finally warmed up enough here in Antarctica that the footing wasn’t to bad, lol
