Runnin C Performance Horses
Chelsea Tanner
I have been training for
quite awhile. The
longer I have been breaking colts and tuning finished horses the
stronger I feel about having one real broke before going on the
pattern. I feel they need to be able to break at the poll; walk, trot,
lope on a loose rein as well as knowing their leads inside and out. I
want them moving off leg and rein pressure and knowing how to use their
body. There are a lot of barrel horses out there that start tipping
barrels or making simple positioning mistakes when that can be easily
corrected if your horse is broke and you can put it where you want,
when you want.
I feel that not only do performance horses need worked in the arena environment but out on the trails and on cattle as well. I have 300 acres of horse trails behind our house that I spend a lot of time getting them broke on as well as keeping the more seasoned barrel horses minds fresh and cool.
Chelsea's most recent barrel training success was her Dash For Perks horse named Dashin For Freedom. You can read his story on my website at: http://www.chelseatanner.net/dashinforfreedom.htm
-- His first year hauling he was hauled for 4 months; He won 4th in the 2D at the All-District Iowa NBHA Race and ran the 19th fastest time of the Open -- mind you this was his 23rd show of his career; he won over $1000, Ran 5th in the 1D at the Bloomfield, Iowa NBHA District 5 Race, He won the Trekfest Rodeo Performance and ended up 2nd overall, Iowa NBHA Year End - 1D - 6th ( Missed Reserve by 3 Points) 2D- 3rd and won the 3D.

The most recent filly we broke was named Wallys Twisted Chick. She came to us as an unbroke 3 year old; she had had her feet done and been tied but didn't load or unload in the trailer, never had a bath, etc. We put 60 days riding time on her; did arena and trail work with her, she knew her leads very well and was starting to move off legs. She stood tied for however long asked, loved getting baths and loaded in the trailer without a fuss; backs out also! We trail rode her a bunch and hauled her with us to some camping/overnight trail rides as well as took her to a friends "cow pasture" and rode on the cow trails. If any of you dont know what those are --- theyre about 2 foot wide, straight up and down, curve around trees, over logs, etc etc. She got really broke and always tried hard to please. We are very happy with how this filly turned out and actually tried to buy her!
We want to wish Julie the best of luck with her! Video of her progress
A Personal filly of ours we started this year; she came to us as an unbroke 3 year old who had never had her feet done or anything. She stood tied decently for a short period of time. You can check her out on the Prospects page of our site at http://www.chelseatanner.net/ctprospects.htm -- She has been hauled to rodeos and barrel bashes and rode in the arenas and around the rodeo grounds. She stands tied, loads and unloads, stands for the farrier, loves bathes, longes, knows her leads and is already starting to move off of my leg. She is really getting a nice Whoa on her also. She has also been trail rode and taken on overnight ride/camping. She has only had 16 rides. Here are some videos
Ride #15
Ride #16
Ride #11
Another young filly, Perks. She is a 2 year old and has now had 16 rides also. She has been hauled all over the Midwest the last two years, stands for the farrier, walks, trots, lopes; knows her leads very well. Has a nice stop on her and is really soft in the poll/face already. She ties, bathes, clips and hauls great. She isn't moving off our leg as well as Freedom but shes just a two year old with 16 rides so we arent upset; it comes with time and each horse is an individual. Here are a couple videos of her
Ride #15 - First time asking to lope
Ride #9
Price: $500/month
Includes: feed, board and care. Also includes updated Videos of your horses progress. Vet and Farrier expenses are the responsibility of the owner but can arrange to have it done in my care.
We also own a Ice Horse Cold Therapy Machine (similar to Game Ready) and an EQUISports Massager that we can work on the outside horses with if they require any maintenance, etc.
Options: Depending on the level of the horse (whether its a colt just here to get broke or a finished barrel horse for tuning/conditioning) we can haul it to the rodeos and barrel races.
