Where are my big horse lovers?!?!

“Juan” is a gentle giant with the moves of small horse. He’s built right, moves right and has a great mind! We got him as a yearling and got him halter broke. Started him in the round pen as a late two year old and got him under saddle. Started him in the arena, but mostly rode him in the pastures and feedlot as a three and four year old to get his mind right and let his body grow. Sent him to get his feet quickened up and gain collection last fall. As a five year old, he has an awesome foundation and is ready to be pointed in the direction of your liking!

He’s sorted cattle in the feedlot, knows the barrel pattern, roped the sled and is willing to go anywhere and do anything!

He’s out of the Nitty Gritty Flit stallion. 16-2, with the body, bone and foot structure to support himself and carry you many, many miles for years to come! Only selling because we just had a child and he deserves more attention than I’m able to give him. Located in Deep River, IA.

CALL (641) 799-5043 to schedule a time to come look at him. Kindly will NOT respond to text messages or Facebook messages. If you have questions call and I’d be happy to tell you anything and everything!

We have five adult children that are each uniquely wonderful and beautiful inside. Today is Camarie Roorda’s birthday. She is the person behind RodeoKids.com. I want to share what the non-profit’s ambassador team sent her today. If you want to support youth, this is an amazing opportunity to support some great kids growing up in the western culture, where coaches and mentors are hard to connect with.

🎉🎂 A Big Birthday Shoutout to Ms. Camarie Roorda! 🎂🎉

Today, we're taking a moment to celebrate the incredible Ms. Camarie Roorda, a guiding light in our lives here at rodeokids.com. No matter the day or the hour, Camarie is always there for us, ready to offer tips, encouragement, and a whole lot of kindness.

She always has our back on her best days and her worst. I have grown as a person and leader in her program, and I can't say thank you enough for what she does in our lives. Thank you and happy birthday!

Addison: Camarie's unwavering support and encouragement make her a remarkable leader and role model.
