Dale's History
I grew up in a 1 horse town called Brisco ,B.C. Canada. I loved horses from day one and knew that I wanted to be a "Horse Trainer" at 6 years old! I sent away for a course in the mail called "How to train your horse to do Tricks".I still have the worn out booklets. So picture this..... I would lead my 2 year-old gelding NIPPER out to the broad jump pit (it had soft shavings) and proceed to read step #1. I had a short memory at that age, so my horse would stand patiently,while I keep going back and re-reading each step.I was that determined! Low and behold ,I did manage to train him to do tricks.He could fetch objects, kiss( a big swipping wet smooch),undo my jacket zipper, sit & eat off a barrel,roll the barrel,lay down & let me get on,and ride around,bridleless! I was so proud of him.We became the lunch-time entertainment at cattle sales,and Rodeos,in the Windermere Valley.This began my horse training career.Fresh out of highschool,I enrolled in the 2 year Equine Course at Olds,College.I aquired a passion for Cutting horses and started my own training business. I started a lot of colts over the years,before moving to the feedlot at Olds,Alberta.I was helped along the way through Clinics and advice by many of Canadas top Trainers.Dave Manning,Bill Collins,The Hansma's,Cathy Anderson ,Les Timmons,Kevin Tienkamp,Bill Freeman,Denton Moffat, Dustin Gonnet,Brad Pederson,Doug Reinhardt,Scott Hansen,Cody Smith and many more.Thankyou so Much.
Nipper my 1st great "love"
