  1. 01

    Started

    Ground work and first rides at the ranch. Every horse learns the same way, from the same hands.

  2. 02

    Seasoned

    Cattle, arena time and miles. The horse learns the job before anyone asks it to win.

  3. 03

    Hauled

    Jayde takes the horse down the road — futurities, jackpots, the calendar on the Events page.

  4. 04

    Proven

    Every run is logged. The arena record on each horse's page is written by results, not by us.
