Our Story
Hello my name is Nichole. You could say I came out knowing how to ride. I have worked in the vet field for 20 plus years. I grew up in the vet field. My dad worked for a large animal vet for 25 plus years. My mom worked for a small animal vet for 20 plus years. I started in the vet field in 2003 right out of high school it was in my DNA. I grew up team roping, raising Australian Cattle Dogs, riding horses at the sale barn, riding horses at the house for clients and catching wild cattle. I enjoy being outside, being with my horses and dogs.
Ground Training
My Ground Training work involves an intimate understanding of your horses’s natural and individual history. Your horse has plenty of potential to learn and understand commands, and my techniques will lay the foundation for you to build upon. I combine your needs and wants with the natural attributes of your horse.
Foal Training
Foal Training is one of the most popular steps for setting up your horse for success in the future. I work closely with each one of my clients and their foals to implement my proven problem solving process. I know you have a busy schedule, so I will customize a plan that suits your lifestyle.

Meet the Horses
KNM Willow Wild Fame "Willow"
Willow is our lesson horse. She is a great beginners horse, she loves to teach people, she adapts to each rider, She is a registered Quarter horse that was born March 11th 2018. She is a barrel bred horse. She goes back to Dash Ta Fame on the top and Doctor Freckles and Casady Casanova on the bottom. She is my big pride and joy. She has come a long ways in such a short period of time.
Speedy Neal " Hank"
Hank is going to be a all around horse. I can not say he is your "typical" Hancock breed horse cause he doesn't buck or is not cold back. He always has a mad look on his face. He is a registered Quarter horse that was born April 24th 2017. His plan is to be added to the lesson program.
Our Breeding Dogs
