Training

Every horse that comes in for training is evaluated to ascertain it’s physical and mental capabilities.  Then it is started on the ground in the round pen.  It doesn’t matter if the horse is going to become a ranch horse or reining or cutting or pleasure horse. Each horse is taught the basic elements, such as manners, going forward, turns, stops, backing, and trust and respect for it’s handlers.  Horses are taught to enjoy their work and not be afraid.

Cutting

We are training cutting horses and their riders to compete in cutting horse competitions.  We have a pro-cutter mechanical cow for training and live cattle from April to November.

This year eight riders from Victory Hill competed in the Southern Colorado Cutting Horse Association events and we are very excited about the results.  

We have practices on Sundays(Weather Permitting) and Jerry Lucas does clinics at the ranch one weekend a month starting in April.
