Breaking and Training
Have you always wanted see what it would be like to see first handed
the birth of a new born Foal. Hear the mom nicker to her foal and
the foals first whinny. Would you like to go from just riding horses
or looking at them from a distance to working with Champion QH ,
Broodmares and newborns one on one. You might just witness the birth
of the next World Champion QH, Appaloosa, Paint or POA. Well if
your ready to learn what it takes from the time of insemination
and first sonogram to the miracle of birthing, KY Outlaw Acres in
gorgeous Winchester KY is the place to be. Or maybe you wanted to
do breaking and training, have spent many years in the saddle and
now you want to put what your learned to work, and you need to get
a handle of a good program in breaking and training colts. Well
pack your boots, jeans and cowboy hat and come down and join us
in Winchester KY 90 acres of lush pasture (just a short drive south
of Lexington, KY where everything Horse is Happening)
 My
daughter at age 9 was not happy with dance, basketball and a few
other things we tried to keep her busy with while we worked in the
family Junk Yard and Florist. She announced one day she would like
to go to horse camp. Well I was one of those kids who always wanted
a pony so I said sure. Michelle would ask for a pony for her birthday,
Christmas, and often just the first thing in the morning, hoping
to have her dream come true. However, it wasn't until the end of
summer camp at age 10 that we bought our first horse. Her first
shows we knew it was too late to turn back, horses had already became
our life, 4 horses later and growing, we purchased 6 acres in Bayport
Long Island NY. . As Michelle grew out of a horse and moved up to
the next one, a kid in the neighborhood would climb aboard and take
a lesson. 17 years later we still have her first horse who has won
more ribbons and made us more money than any World Champion we own.
What he has taught us can never be paid back. We would like to show
you just what working with an animal as great as Cherokee can do
for your heart and soul. Many World Champions later we are now breeding
QH's, Appaloosa's Paints and Pony of Americas. It has become not
just a dream but a reality and we love sharing it with folks who
just love horses. .
I worked
in the Florist business for many years and soon gave it all up for
horses. We traveled all over to show QH's and Appaloosa's Western
Pleasure, Barrel Racers, Hunters, Jumpers, Reiners and Halter Horses
we tried it all. We opened an Equine Riding center where we hired
trainers to give lessons, broke horses and leased our horses for
shows so others could join us in our ventures. After we put a few
points on some mares we figured it would be nice to breed them.
First we had a few Halter babies and next came a crop Western Pleasure
and Hunters from our Champion Mare Miss MBJ Locket. Our students
like Michelle have shown M BJ to the blues, watched her be Artificially
Inseminated at home by our vet, were on hand for the sonograms,
witness the birth of her foals, breaking and training and went on
to show those babies themselves. Recently one of the mares born
on the farm that they rode and won blue ribbons on , had a gorgeous
Chocolua foal, 3rd generation on the farm. Those students have seen
it all from insemination to birthing to breaking and training and
on to the show pen with their little prospects. Next came Champion
prospects by our very own 2006 AQHA High Point Barrel Stallion Verily
Six
Bugs. Our next move was to relocate our broodmares and Stallion
to KY for the New KYQH BIF a huge incentive fund project the combination
of the KY Racing commission, the state of KY and many breeds QH's,
Apps, Paints and so on. QH stallions went from 97 to 600 in under
a year in KY so we made the move. We found a nice 90 acre farm in
KY we now call home for our Broodmares and Foals. Come and discover
KY Outlaw Acre QH farm located just a short drive to Lexington KY
where it all happens. . Come join us in an opportunity to pursue
your dream of working with horses. We can do 2,3 day to 5 day internships
in what we call a dream come true. Or stay with us 2 or 3 days on
the farm, maybe take in a horse show, visit the KY Horsepark for
a QH or USEF show or Keenland Race Track depending on the time of
the year there is lots to do in KY. When done with your stay with
us on the farm there is much to see. Horse shows and Race Tracks
can be covered on the farm. However you still have Horse museums,
Farm Tours of some of the great TB , Arabian and of course QH farms,
Water Park Rides like Six Flags, Organized Trail rides in many parts
of KY, 1 ,2 and 3 day River Boat Rides for the whole family to join,
some with gaming or a short right over the river as well in many
states bordering KY you will find gambling like at Kings Island
both water park and Casinos. Plus Great Restaurants and shopping
and of course the 2010 World Games coming next fall. We suggest
if your coming that time of the year you book your hotel arrangements
now.
A day at KY Outlaw Acres in the early Spring will mean mares foaling
out or others being bred back, young colts started in training.
Always something to do. Nights are very long breeding season and
if you time it right you will be able to witness a new Outlaw come
into the world. You might have to stay up all night but that first
little winny will make it all worth it. Hear his or her first little
winny, watch them take their first very scary steps, their first
buck, and of course they drink from Mom all day, eat, play , sleep
all day . "If you are at all interested in this type of business
you must realize its long hours and hard work so you must have a
true love for horses . We feel when it comes to the day we can't
do the right thing for our horses it's time to sell and move on.
In KY our farm manager lives on the premises, her day consist of
feeding , checking on mares or getting them ready to be bred. Checking
on and handling the young ones new borns, weanlings, yearlings and
two year olds. If they have special needs, shots or medicines that
is done after feeding. The moms and foals come in each morning form
pasture so they can be checked. While Renee feeds and waters she
looks over the older stock and broodmares. Checks fences and automatic
waters and than its time to clean stalls. Her nights are spent during
the months of late February till June checking up on mares that
are due to foal. All mares are inseminated artificially as it is
safer, so the semen comes in by way of UPS or Fed Express. When
it arrives the vet is called in and you will see just how the mares
are bred. About 18 days later they are checked in foal by the vet.
Sometimes it requires two breedings to get the job done. If things
go right you will most likely between the hours of 11pm and 4 am
witness the birth of a new foal. If we think it is going to happen
that night we will let you know, and if you want give you a wake
up call when the time arrives. Getting up early or staying up all
night is part of the business. Our Ranch hands do all the breaking
and training, you will learn to halter a newbie, lunge a yearling
(going over voice commands on the ground that you will use again
as a rider) and witness the breaking and training of a few coming
two year olds. Step by step, including first hoof trims, perhaps
some corrections made by our farrier and explanations of why.
 Besides
the breeding end, Early Spring we should have some coming two year
olds to be broke, or yearlings to be fit for halter or the lungline
class held late fall. If this is what interest you we will have
one on one handling in the round pen, ground work first next step
the saddle and than rider. Each horse is treated as an individual
and the time is taken to work with each horse day by day, one day
at a time. The handlers will first groom and go over each prospect
before going out to the round pen. Next lunge and than saddle up.
This is done 5 times a week with two days off, each session is different
depending on the horses needs and or accomplishments in the pen.
Even if you are not the ride , when it comes time to hire a person
or send your horse to a trainer you will be well schooled on what
to expect. If your more interested in breaking and training, and
plan on hiring someone to do the breeding, you still need a good
handle on that as well.
Always wanted to ride but afraid to? We've all been there. My advice
for you is, "Just do something with a horse!" Pet a horse,
bathe a horse, groom a horse, tack a horse, lead a horse, longe
a horse. Do whatever you're comfortable doing with a horse. Slowly
but surely your comfort zone will expand and you'll find yourself
doing more and more, including riding
