Buying A Good Trail Horse

We picked up three new mounts for the school and Dewayne is introducing them. We want to take this opportunity to point out some of the things that we look for when we're looking for good trail horses.

I love getting to know the crew, and especially the addition of Reba the mule!

Now I know what to look for. Thank again Dwayne! Good job on the camera “Momma”👍🏻

Dwayne! Thanks for the recent vids aimed at less experienced horse owners. There's are so many little tidbits of knowledge in so many areas, tack, training, health & care, and the big one here...how to approach buying a good horse for leisure use.

Please keep this type info coming. Immeasurably helpful!

That tank is a nice looking horse. So happy & well taken care of. Great muscles.

Recently watched your video on should I sell my horse. I wish I would have seen it a few years ago! It would have helped me feel better, although I knew what I needed to do & did it. My grandfather taught me to ride when I was four & I received lessons as well. I bought my first horse a few years ago, & something felt off, but I did it anyway. I ended up selling & waited almost a year & bought another horse. A horse that I thought was a better fit. The experience of the first horse poured over to the second & I lost the joy. It was a heartbreaking thing to go through. I did what I thought was best for the horse & sold him. I hope I will one day find my fun horse & get back the joy I once had. My grandfather has long passed, so your advice is gold to me! 👍

I'm not sure why, but the fact that the cute mule got the highest praise compared to the other horses just tickled me and had me chuckling! Gorgeous babies. <3

Good to know things are coming together there at Dry Creek Wrangler School. Enjoying your videos of life lessons of which we are still learning. Be good.

Yessir, Mules are like mopeds. Fun to ride, you just don't want your friends to see ya.
Kidding aside. Mules are like riding a Cadillac, smooth as glass and sure footed. Love em on the trail.

Love a good big riding mule! Rode one thru the snow up a mountain to watch the sunset.

It is so exciting watching your family and crew getting ready for the school. I wish I could have scheduled being in the first class, but am looking forward to the videos about how it progresses throughout the summer.

Have to smile at hearing someone else refer to front legs that look like they grew out of the same hole. That was my dad's phrase, too. His other one was that he didn't want a horse with "a rear end like a housecat". 😁
He didn't have to worry about that with the Hancocks he always raised. They tend to have wide front ends like a bulldog.
Keep the videos coming. Very nostalgic for me.

Found this video by accident. Soon as you said Reba was going to become your personal mount, I subscribed! Have never spent time around mules. Loved how you described purchasing a trail horse.

Pretty dang cool. 15.0 -> 15.2, that’s my wheelhouse

[sharongruener]

Looks like you have some nice mounts. Good for you. Blessings.

[pano-rific]

Thank you for your insights as always Dwayne. Interesting you brought in the mule and proudly announced her as your likely mount. ~ your neighbor.

[jonbontobi]

NICE!!! And all 3 had really good confirmation 👌 ❤🐴

[rowanjones]

Thank you for the video, love the lessons learned from it.

Tank is a beast and one of the first perfect examples I’ve seen of what a horse can be.

Wisdom on point as always

[MyDarkSide]

Don't know much about horses but Tank looks like a really nice horse with a nice demeanor. Thanks for the video!
