JB Performance Horses

Softness starts on the ground not in the saddle.

So many trainers these days don’t focus on groundwork anymore and run into so many problems down the road because they have holes in their foundation. Here we focus on creating a soft, responsive, honest horse that is set up for any discipline the owners decide!

What’s the difference between horsemanship and barrel racing? When you set a can up. That’s it.

You don’t have to have the barrels, or do a barrel drill to work on the barrels. If you improve your horsemanship by learning by the mechanics of movement, how to move individual parts and then put them back together so that you can teach the horse how to best use his body—you are working on the barrels.

If you took six months off from barrels and only watched c**t starting and reining cow training videos, and worked with someone local-ish who knows true horsemanship—when you finally set up a barrel again, you would be amazed at how great your horse would work the barrels.

The can sitting in the arena is the only difference. Am I saying you never need to pattern? Of course not. I’m saying, don’t get so focused on the can that you forget about horsemanship. Just the PSA that’s on my mind today, for whatever it’s worth, or not 🤗
