MD Spur Barrel Horses, LLC.

Thank you for visiting the official website of MD Spur Barrel Horses.

I'd like to share with you my background. I have not come from a long line of rodeo families or successful equine ranchers. I have worked hard to educate myself and grow myself into the trainer I am today because I truly love horses and the sport of barrel racing. I believe beyond a shadow of any doubt that God was gracious enough to bless me with a gift. To be able to successfully ride and train barrel horses is something that I am unwilling to take for granted and am thankful for each and everyday. The opportunity to live my dream is by the grace and goodness of my Heavenly Father.

About the TRAINING:

There are a lot of fancy ways to describe training barrel horses, but here is how I put it...

Just as with people God gives horses different talents, abilities, strengths, weaknesses, personalities and desires. It is up to us as riders, trainers and owners to shape them into the BEST version of themselves.

Horses learn by feel thru repetition so each and every time we come into contact with them, whether that is on the ground or on their back, they will learn something from us and we should learn from them.

For me training a barrel horse is greatly about feel. Because we can't really demonstrate visually to a horse how to run to, shape, rate and turn a barrel, as to a horse these are merely tasks, we have to repetitiously through feel and contact show them how to successfully complete each task. They have to know where, when, how, and why to complete each task using themselves in a manner best suited for the physical and mental make up God gave them.

It is our job to communicate clearly, again through feel and contact, when it is right and when it is wrong. Once the horse gains clear confidence in what is expected of them it is then and only then that they can become the best version of themselves as a barrel horse.

What makes MD Spur Barrel Horses different from other barrel horse trainers? It is that when people send their horse to MD Spur Barrel Horses for barrel training they can be confident that there is always a genuine concern for them and their equine investment. The success of each and every horse matters! It is my deepest desire and goal that my clients and their horses succeed to the BEST of their ability.

Invest in your horse’s future! Let MD Spur Barrel Horses shape your horses into the BEST POSSIBLE VERSION OF THEMSELVES.
