We sent our stallion "Sassys Shamen" to them as a long 2 year old. Rusty put 45 days on him and the day after he came home I was working cattle on him. He came home doing things you "expect" a trained horse to do. Moving up to open gates, side passing, backing, working cattle in sorting pens, being crowded and bumped and staying calm. He was also familiar with and able to work in a variety of grounds in our area. Whether mud, bog, bush, meadows, crossing creeks or rivers, or moving quickly and decisively through thick jackpine - he did it all with confidence. He could work alone or along side other horses. He came home with manners and is a pleasure to ride and work.

We also use our "Martin trained horses" at gymkana's and rodeo's. We do not have different horses for different jobs. They are just well trained and we can use them anywhere, for any job. They go in and do the job asked of them, and do it well. No nonsense, no excitement, no fighting. Then the next day they're back working at the ranch.

These horses get out and work in the real world and are not just worked in a arena and sent home to you. I believe the reason these horses work so well is because a good foundation is put on them. There is no rushing the job, no gimmicks, just good ole horse training and lots of miles and wet saddle blankets. Real horses doing real jobs. Being able to read a horses mind and knowing what that horse needs, to become a good using horse is a gift that so many of us wish we had, but don't. I think that Larry and Rusty have that gift and I highly recommend them from personal experience and use of their horses.
