  • I've been training horses most of my 38 yrs and I'm not easily impressed but John and I did some trading and I became the new owner of "Nifty" the filly and we took "Gotcha Cash man" the gelding out of the trailer just to have a look and well he really impressed me. Instead of one to break now I had two. That evening I saddled the gelding and ponied the filly off of him with my son-in law on her bareback and rode around the pasture an hour. The next day we rode 5 miles around the neighborhood without any mistakes. The third day - we rode them to and through the Bois-d-Arc parade in Commerce. After realizing how smart they are I decided to do some old time training techniques on them- so on a trail ride (4th day)I rode the gelding and led the filly saddled and bridled then I took off her lead rope and let her loose. She followed us down the trail on her own then she began to lead us down the trail. She even followed us off a cliff and across the red river. Both are willing to go anywhere and do whatever I ask its like they were born half trained already. The gelding started neck reining 2nd day and she was doing great as well then it got cold and were anxious for spring to get here to finish them.

    Both have the qualities That impress me still: great looks, plenty of spunk, a will to learn, a big willing heart, easy handle and super smart we cant wait to do some playdays with em I bet we bring home ribbons. Yes my twelve and ten year old daughters handle them all the time even load em in-out trailer have already and will ride and run playdays on the this year. The only other horses I trust this much Ive raised, imprinted and spent yrs training.

    Colts like these dont come everyday but John has certianly found an exellent breeding program and I believe if I was able I could take his colts and train them and make us both famous. In the end I say this: Great Job John and Good Luck in 2009.................. I believe anyone getting these great horses from John will be happy as we..!

    I promised myself to do some photo and filming as I finish them this spring and John I 'll make sure you get a copy.

    Thanks again Bobby, Janis, Megan and Cara Cirkles

  • John, I am forwarding pictures of filly Skippa. She is doing so well with her training. What a smart quick learner she is. Her ground work and roundpenning are going great. Today she just stood calm for her haircut, her first bath and her first wearing of a hat. Yes, a hat. I am planning on putting her in the Christmas parades and she would look great in a Santa hat. She also found out what a parade flag was. At first she just looked at it. Then the flag wrapped around her and lay on top of her back. She acted like it was just a fly. This filly should be priced well above $10,000.00. Her talents are growing each day.I know that you will enjoy the pictures. Pamela D.

  • John, I can not begin to tell you how happy I am with Ebony. Her bold black and white color draws everyones attention to her. This past weekend during a parade several people approached me as to where I found her. Her gentle additude, stamina, and breeding are just ourstanding. Thank you for working a very affordable price with me. I hope everyone finds their FOREVER horse with you. Thanks again. Pamela

  • Warts will go away with several applications of cod liver oil. Smells awful, but helps the warts leave faster. My horses with white noses all got those grass warts and I used the oil for their relief.

    Beautiful horses. Thanks for sharing!

  • Randy & Stephanie Strickland Hi, I have a friend who has a gray gelding. Steve, the neighbor, has used him for team roping, but the horse is too slow. This guy has a great temprament and your kids could tap dance on his back. Nothing seems to spook him and he does not have the "want to go back to the barn" syndrom. I'd give him your e-mail and telephone number, but you didn't post it. I'll mention this to him to see if he still wants to sell him. He paid $1400 for him and he'll probably want to get it back. ringon1@yahoo.com
