At the end of next fall I'm going to Texas to intern for a trainer. I cant bring my mare and the thought of her sitting around bothers me (bf let his 27 year old sit around for a year and he lost his entire top line). She will be 19 when I leave and I will be gone for at least 6 months.
So I was thinking I could send her to a trainer for a bit while I'm away. she needs a refresher and I would like her to be trained in something western. If I want her to be trained on Barrels I can have CL (trainer right up the rd) train her buts that's $600 a month. I will have the money but I don't think that's the way my mare needs to go.
Anyone know of good trainers in Arizona? I don't care where as I can have her trailred there.

Here are pics/vids of her for reference






(Please not i was only 'chasing' her as she was being stubborn and refusing to lope.)

There's Wylene Wilson. I think she still trains barrel horses. I watched her train a boarder's Arab. She really settled her out.
Her sister also used to be good at finishing a horse, but I don't know if she's still training or not.
Also, Paul Dietz in Cave Creek, he is good at starting horses. My friend sent her filly to him. He did a really good job with her. They even worked her on cows.

Wylene moved to Missouri when she and Randall got married, and I don't know if Wenda still trains or not

Well That didn't pan out. He dose not have more then 5 horses at a time and he charges $1050 a months with 3 months min. Sooo yeah. She dose not need anything fancy, I just want to know a trusted trainer. I have seen horses mistreated when they where away at the trainers and dont want that.

I would lease her out but I don't want a beginner on her and most people dont want to lease a trail horse.

Ok, color me confused. How long are you going to be in Texas? How much do you think training should cost?
You have to ADD the board.....I know it is quoted as one figure, but you have to consider it....if a place would be $500/month board, then add trainer, if it is only $200/month, then add trainer.
I also think it would be easier to find someone if you decide exactly WHAT you think the trainer should do.

I'm ok with 700 a month total for board and training. Ill be gone for at least 6 monts and I was hoping I han have at least 3 months of training. The barrel racing trainer charges 600 and the horses learn some dressage to learn to move their bodies right. She is one of te best in the state. But I just want a refresher on her. Wtc and stop. Maybe some refinement. I'm aware I may endup paying more than I wantbut I would like to explore my options a bit more.

Well that sucks :(. I see ads for a lot of trainers in my area but I want to hear what people say about them. I dont trust 'online reviews' as anyone can write anything, including people involved with the trainer. Here at least I have a better chance of weeding out the fake reviews.
