Fired Up Ranch

Meet our trainer! We realize we have several new follows on our page and want to introduce everyone to the man behind the scenes. Patrick Krahenbuhl started Fired Up Ranch in 2015 after growing up showing his Welsh Pony and American Saddlebred horses.

He originally started with putting Futurity colts in the ring, retraining ring sour horses and keeping school horses prepped and has since grown into a multi discipline multi breed trainer with Championships under his belt from Saddle Seat Equitation, Hunter Pleasure, Western Pleasure, Carriage and Pleasure Driving, Ranch, Trail, and Sport Horses.

He has a great sense of humor and tons of patience with the horses. His favorite thing is to put solid Amateur and kid horses in the ring, but he loves a fancy trotting horse too!

He's a firm believer in that there's always more to learn and enjoys taking clinics and watching seminars for continuing education.

Be sure to stop by and say hi when you see him!

Horses are one of the biggest trust the process quests, and it's not linear there are many highs and lows and often we have to circle back. Developing a horse from a green bean into something is such a cool adventure though!

Peep these two horses that are paternal half siblings and both very similar but each unique!

“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one”

To describe our training program this quote fits so well! We do a bit of everything in several different breeds and disciplines. The cool thing about our program is we want to find what the horse is good at and enjoys and give them the tools to exceed in that division. If you want to turn your wish lists into done lists give us a call!

A select number of training, conditioning or sales horse spots available.

Loops must be symmetrical in shape and length and ridden as a series of curves with no sharp angles that would disrupt your horse’s balance and rhythm.

Loops serve multiple purposes in your training:

✅ An Ideal Exercise for Young Horses - Loops require changes of bend without an extreme change of direction, minimizing the likelihood that your young horse will lose balance or alignment (straightness).

✅ An Ideal Warm-Up Exercise for Advanced Horses - For the same reason as above, loops are an ideal exercise to ride during the warm-up of more advanced horses, because they require gradual changes of bend.

✅ Improve Lateral Suppleness - Loops test and enhance your horse's ability to transition smoothly from one bend to another, promoting lateral (side-to-side) suppleness.

✅ Improve Rider Coordination - Riding loops challenges your coordination because you must smoothly and effectively adjust your aids and body position.

✅ Counter Canter Preparation: Loops can be used in the introduction and training of counter-canter.
