BRIGGS RANCH AND QUARTER HORSES

We train horses and people, and we have

a heck of a lot of fun, too!

Our Training

Dean Briggs, our head trainer and instructor, has been training horses all his life, starting as a ranch kid on a Wyoming cattle ranch. The core idea of his training is that a Well-Broke Horse keeps its body parts aligned and balanced throughout every maneuver.

This is a simple idea. It’s the foundation of all athletic maneuvers, whether human or animal. But this fundamental idea can be overlooked because horses are creatures that can do amazing things even when unbalanced and out of alignment. They do it all the time, which can cause us to think the horse is doing his best.

If you aren’t familiar with the Last Man Standing ropings, here’s how it works.
When you miss, you’re out. A miss is failure to make a legal head catch or rope at least one hind leg.
If the other teams miss before your team does, you are the Last Man Standing. First place money is yours.

Roping Practice

On Monday's at 5 pm, we get set up for our roping practice. Weather does not matter to us. When it's nice we are in the outside arena. Bad weather and cold is no problem we just move inside.

Cowhorse Practice

On Wednesdays at 5pm, we train our horses on buffaloes. This is great for horses--young or old, experienced or not. It's a controlled situation that allows you to work your horse slow and easy or at a faster more challenging pace.
