The Source — Quality Horses, Thoroughly Trained with an inspiration in Classical Riding & Vaquero style Horsemanship

Every horse offered is carefully and thoughtfully prepared through a comprehensive training process rooted in the vaquero tradition, inspired by legends like the Dorrance brothers, Buck Brannaman and Ray Hunt. This approach blends time-honored horsemanship with modern principles to develop truly exceptional partners.

My training philosophy begins with meticulous groundwork, ensuring each horse is confident, balanced, soft and responsive before ever stepping under saddle. I leave no holes in the basics — building a foundation of trust and respect that prepares the horse physically and mentally.

Drawing from vaquero-style methods, I emphasize patience, finesse, and deep connection, progressing through progressive stages that prioritize soft hands, light cues, and a harmonious partnership. This approach allows the horse to develop a calm mindset and athletic ability that translates seamlessly to under-saddle work.

Because of this thorough preparation, horses from The Source are well-trained, balanced, and ready to meet a variety of riding goals — from performance and ranch work to trail riding and family partnerships. Each horse reflects the craftsmanship and care of a tradition that values quality over speed, leaving you with a confident, willing, and capable partner.
