Enjoy Horse Shows with the RS Family!
Horse shows are a fabulous way for you or your child to show
off the skills you have acquired and progress you have made during your lessons at the farm. Students interested in showing
will be offered a chance to try it out on a local level first. If you already have extensive show experience and own or have
owned show horses before, you may want to show at a regional or even world-class level. If you are new to all of it, we can
help you achieve your goals over time in our riding program. Showing at the regional, national, or world level would require
you to lease or purchase a "show horse," because the lesson horses cannot perform at the higher
levels. Please talk to your instructor about the possiblilty of showing
and learn about what you need to do to reach your goals! Adults and children not
participating in the shows are always encouraged to come to the horse shows and cheer us on! Also, those wishing to show
with RS need to acquire the proper memberships, according to where they want to show, be it local, regional, or national.
Talk to Yvonne about memberships.

[Above/Right] Our new farm trailer custom designed for The Rodman Family by RG Trailers in Texas. This trailer is used to take our own horses to shows, as well as lesson horses or client horses as needed. This trailer is designed to haul 5 horses, head-to-head, with side-load and rear-load available. While a slant-load trailer can hold more horses in less space, a head-to-head style trailer allows handlers to access any one horse at any time, should he be sick or in distress during a trip. Head-to-head style allows handlers to feed/water/medicate any horse without removing the others. This style is used by most professional horse haulers, and Yvonne insists on being able to care for any one horse at any time. We also have a 2-horse step-up straight-load bumper-pull for small local trips with a horse or two.
