Body control isn't just a big thing, its the only thing! We specialize in training yearlings, 2 & 3 yr olds, stock horse training and problem horses. Located in Kimball, Nebraska; facilities include a 175 x 100 indoor arena, indoor wash rack, 200 x 150 large outdoor cutting arena, 18 pipe pens with automatic waterers, 2 round pens and 2 pastures.

Yearlings - We work with yearlings teaching them to lead, pick up feet, trailer loading and advanced ground work such as establishing front and rear pivot feet, side passes and softness which really makes a difference going into their two year old years. Yearlings are usually taken during the months of January, February, and March.

2 & 3 Year Olds - colt starting 2 and 3 year olds - work on putting that sturdy foundation to prepare them for what ever discipline you choose. 1st 30 days - expectations will be softness, beginnings of nice and correct stop. Beginning of correct turn around whether it be reining or cowhorse turnaround Sidepass while remaining soft.

Stockhorse Training - After your horse has a sturdy foundation, he will be prepared for more advanced maneuvers, in stock horse training we work on haunches in, lead departures, lead changes, counter canters as well as getting them started on cattle first exposing them to the mechanical cow then advancing to live cattle. We will also include working on logging, tracking and working the rope.

Problem Horses - we also work with problem hoses that might have been started late 4-5 & 6 year olds that other people have not gotten along with. We like to work with these horses for a minimum of 3 months.
