The horses carrying The Horse Ranch brand HR have been ranch raised along the banks of the Beatton River. Our Ranch stallion Genuine Jet Smooth "Jet" was chosen for his bloodlines, conformation and trainability which goes back to all World Champions starting with his father Genuine 007 by Genuine Doc out of the famous Doc Bar. Jet has been one of the easiest horses to train and ride that Glenn has ever had the pleasure of handling, and this fabulous disposition (as well as confirmation) has carried through to his offspring. We will on occasion also purchase outside horses if they match up with the criteria we set for our herd.
Training... The Ultimate Start.
No force... No fear... Just natural communication and understanding. A good start isn't something... it's everything. Glenn starts young horses and does foundation training for customers year round, and was also awarded the title of Parelli Horse Specialist. In order to receive this accreditation the requirement is to have a minimum rating in a variety of different areas (11), from Young Horses, Starting Under Saddle, Challenging horses, Foundation training, Instructing, Horsemanship, Reining, Cow Working etc.
All of our horses have been started utilizing Natural Horsemanship methods, laying a foundation of communication understood between horse and human where the horse learns trust and acceptance unconditionally, and without force. The broader and stronger this foundation is the more options available to the owner and more willing and capable their new partner can be. Our colts are started under saddle as 2 year olds; at this time their ground skills, liberty and online, are also improved. We teach the finer points of stopping, turning, sidepass, hind and fore quarter yields in the corrals, round pens and horse playground. The development of these horses also includes rides through the river valleys, through the bush, up and down hills and across the creeks. Opening gates, swinging ropes and dragging obstacles from the saddle are also some of the foundation our horses receive as they develop through the program. Light, responsive, confident, willing, happy, and people friendly are all words we would like to use when describing our own horses, and it is our belief that others appreciate the same.
HR Matching Process
Finding the correct match of horse to rider is extremely important when purchasing a horse. We like to have a detailed discussion with the buyer so that we can put together a group of horses that they can choose from that are suited to their interests and ability. Horses of your choice will be demonstrated for you and then you will have an opportunity to ride each horse in the arena and out on the trails. After making a selection and purchase it has proven to be very successful for the new owner to enroll in a clinic with their new horse and allows us to help the partnership get off on a positive progressive note.
The Horses
The description of training that the individual horses have is the minimum, as the development of these horses is continuous and ongoing. If you choose a horse and would like that particular horse further developed, we would be excited to continue the process and we would be willing to take any of these horses through Stage 8/Parelli Level 3 (see Stages Program) and beyond. Our horses start at $6000, and have had a minimum of Stage 2/Parelli Level 1 by the time they are sold, and some of our horses will be developed through Stage 8/Level 3, earning a living on the ranch; others Glenn will ride and use to help start more young horses. They range in height between 14.2 and 16 hands. They are all easy to catch, trim, trailer load, and de-worm.
Under each description of the horses below is a link to see more pictures and details of bloodlines. When we wrote this, we were finding it hard in a lot of instances to find different things to say about each one... we are very proud of our horse's conformation, love of people, keen minds and athleticism... so if an attribute was left out on one yet given to another it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

 "In the spring of 2005 as a 42-year-old non horse-riding enthusiast I attended my first natural horsemanship clinic with Glenn Stewart in Winnipeg Manitoba to watch my wife. Not knowing what natural horsemanship was really about I did what all good horse husbands do, help out and don't complain!! After a couple days of watching the clinic I was amazed at what Glenn could do with horses in such a short period of time. This was unlike any horse show I had ever had to endure; it was actually fun to watch!!! I suggested to my wife that maybe I should get a horse she laughed!!! Determined to prove to her that it was not just a phase, I began to use her horse to achieve my first level of natural horsemanship. Not really wanting to share her horse, we began looking for a good horse; I soon learned that not many good horses are for sale.
After approximately a year of looking for the perfect horse we asked Glenn if he had any horses for sale. Glenn said he did and told us to come out and have a look? Being that we live in Ontario, dropping in at Glenn's was not really an option. Instead, Glenn & Dixie sent us pictures of the horses for sale and made suggestions as to who would match my horsemanship abilities or lack of!! So with some pictures, guidance and the wisdom of Glenn I purchased Roxy a 3- year- old filly in November of 2006. In the spring of 2007 my wife, her horse and I made the 2500 km trip to Fort St John, BC to pick up Roxy and participate in an 8-day camp with Glenn. This was the start of a relationship I did not think I could have with an animal, let alone a horse! Roxy has had the perfect start in life with Glenn, giving her a foundation for me to build on. She is light, respectful, intelligent and willing to please. Roxy has accelerated my horsemanship journey, always making me want to learn more. I cannot thank Glenn and Dixie enough for selling me Roxy, she really is that perfect horse!! - Kevin Glenister, Dryden, Ontario" |
