It feels like fall today! 🍂🍁🎡
With fall, comes all the fall things for this family, including livestock shows!

So Poe’s Place will be closing for the weeks of Sept 7-through the 18th.

We will be back up and running on Tues September 22nd!

Thank you to all of my customers, I appreciate your support always!! Come see us at the fairs if you can! 🤎🤍🧡

STOP RIDING CIRCLES. START BUILDING SKILLS THAT MATTER.

You don’t need more arena miles without a purpose.

You need to understand how controlling your horse’s direction, speed, shoulders, and hindquarters prepares you to handle cattle safely and confidently.

At the Stache Ranch Experience, you’ll take your foundation and apply it to:

🐂 Live cattle
🪢 Ranch roping
🐎 Reining skills
🤠 Stockmanship
✔️ Practical ranch handling
✔️ Confidence, responsiveness, and feel

You don’t need previous cattle experience. You do need to be willing to learn, ask questions, and put in the work.

What’s holding you back from working cattle: your confidence, your horse’s confidence, or not knowing where to begin?

September 26–27

FROM A HORSEMAN’S POINT OF VIEW

As you go out today to ride that new horse..or maybe even a horse you’ve been riding for months or years..remember this:

Every time you climb aboard, that horse is still an individual.

One of the first things a horseman does when they sit in the saddle is evaluate.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve ridden that horse a hundred times or if today is the very first ride.

Don’t just get on and immediately start training and educating. Give the horse a moment to show you what they understand.

What do they know?
What do they not know?
Where are they clear?
Where are they confused?

Then you begin to ask.

And ASK is the keyword.

You ask the horse for something—you don’t demand it. You ask, and then you give that horse the opportunity to answer.

Can you move your rib cage?
Can you move your shoulders?
Can you engage your hind leg?
Can you soften?
Can you connect?
Can you move forward and stay balanced?

Every question becomes part of the evaluation.

You ask.
The horse answers.
And a horseman listens to the answer.

Maybe the answer is yes. Maybe it’s no. Maybe the horse is telling you, I don’t understand what you’re asking me.

That’s information.

It also tells you whether pressure that has been added in the past was understood correctly or whether it created confusion.

Don’t mistake confusion for resistance.

This takes a minute. Sometimes it takes a ride. Sometimes it may take two or three rides before the entire picture becomes clear.

But once you’ve gathered the information through evaluation, you’re ready to begin the process.

One step at a time.

A horse has an open mind. We just have to give them the opportunity to communicate with us.

Before we expect them to listen to us, we need to learn how to listen to them.

ASK is the beginning of the conversation.
The horse’s response is the answer.
Horsemanship is knowing how to read it.

From a horseman’s point of view.

SEPTEMBER 26–27
STACHE RANCH EXPERIENCE
LIVE CATTLE CLINIC

🐂 Raisin H Arena | Mesa, Washington
🏕️ Dry camping available
💲 $300 per rider

If you've been telling yourself you're going to get more confident around cattle…

This is your opportunity.

You don't need to be an experienced cattle rider.

You don't need to have everything figured out.

You don't need to wait until you feel ready.

You need to be willing to show up, learn, and put in the work.

Over two days, you'll work on:

🐂 Moving and handling live cattle
🪢 Ranch roping fundamentals
🤠 Stockmanship
🐄 Ranch handling techniques
✔️ Building confidence and feel
✔️ Developing a willing, responsive ranch horse

This isn't about simply riding another pattern.

It's about learning how to use your horse when the situation changes.

Cattle don't follow a pattern.

They move. They change direction. They create problems.

That's where your horsemanship gets tested—and where you have the opportunity to get better.

Stop riding circles. Start building ranch skills that matter.

This Clinic Is NOT Just for Experienced Cattle Riders

You don't need years of cattle experience to come to the Stache Ranch Experience.

In fact, if you've been wanting to learn how to work cattle but keep telling yourself, “I'm not ready yet,” this may be exactly the kind of environment you need.

This weekend is for you if:

🐂 You've never worked cattle before.
🤠 You've been around cattle but lack confidence.
🏆 You compete in Ranch Riding and want to become a more complete horseman.
🌾 You want to develop skills that translate to real ranch work.
🐴 You want your horse more responsive, willing, and confident.
💪 You have experience but know your fundamentals could be sharper.

You don't need to show up knowing everything.

You need to show up willing to learn.

The Stache Ranch Experience is built around strong foundations and practical application. You'll work on:

• Moving and handling live cattle
• Ranch roping fundamentals
• Stockmanship
• Ranch handling techniques
• Building confidence and feel
• Developing a willing, responsive ranch horse

You'll be challenged at a level appropriate for you and your horse.

Because the goal isn't to see who can already do the most.

The goal is for you to leave better than you arrived.
