Happy Labor Day from Cope Performance Horses!
Wishing you a safe and relaxing holiday. ๐บ๐ธ
Small beginnings, big plans. ๐
Taking our time, building a solid foundation, and enjoying the process of watching these young horses learn their job.
We are very happy with how this mare handled her first day on live cattle. ๐ด๐ฎ
Making the most of the last days of summer with a family ride and a swim for the horses.
These are the moments weโll cherish long after summer fades. ๐ดโ๏ธ

Happy Birthday to the man behind Cope Performance Horses! ๐ค ๐
The one who spends countless hours in the saddle, puts everything he has into every horse that comes through our program, and is always working to make both horses and people better.
Weโre thankful for the hard work, patience, and dedication Tanner pours into Cope Performance Horses, but even more thankful for the husband, dad, and man he is outside of the arena.
Help us wish Tanner a very Happy Birthday! ๐๐ด
Hereโs to another year of good horses, good runs, and doing what you love!
Happy Birthday, Tanner!
No one starts an expert. You start messy, learn through failed attempts, keep showing up - and get better every time ๐ช
Progress > Perfection

Happy Wednesday ๐ค
Consider this your sign to spend some time roping the dummy. Do it every day, and a few months from now you'll be glad you did. Your future self will thank you!๐
Today we're roping the sled on Sweet Pea! ๐ด๐บ
This 3-year-old has already been started on cattle on the heel side, and today we're introducing her to the head side on the sled. Our focus is teaching her proper position as a head horse, following the dummy through the run, and then facing up just as she would on live cattle.
Working through each step in a controlled setting helps Sweet Pea better understand her job and build confidence along the way.
Three simple rules for life: go after what you want, ask when you need guidance, and keep moving forward. Whether youโre chasing a personal goal, building your future, or growing alongside your horse, progress begins with taking that next step. ๐ด
