Greg & Liz Dixon have been field trialing
professionally for over 10 years. A natural progression with the
involvement of horses was to raise and ultimately train horses.
Liz has been involved with horses since the late
1970's. She was trained at the Stillwater Veterinary Clinic as a
veterinary technician under the tutelage of Dr. Vic Myers and the rest of
the equine veterinarians working there. Her first experiences were primarily
with Thoroughbreds and she managed Northbound Farm for Vic & Helena Myers.
At that time she foaled over 100 mares and was responsible for every aspect
of a large breeding facility.
Her first mare, Ellie, a 1/2 Percheron
mare was bred to Raider's Dark Threat, a beautiful black Tennessee Walking
Horse. This colt was the first of many colts that Liz raised and broke to
ride. Liz has started 3-5 colts under saddle every year since that
time. Primarily Tennessee Walking Horses, but not excluding other
gaited breeds.
We offer training of any age horse. We
sincerely enjoy starting youngsters under saddle. Training dogs for field
trialing involves horses, and this is where we can put much needed miles on
youngsters. The horses in training learn to load and unload quietly
from a trailer with or without tack. They learn to stand tied to the
trailer or hitching post patiently as well as other important experiences. We travel to North Dakota, Texas and
many other states either trialing dogs or training. The horses travel with
and learn all phases of trialing. We feel that the experiences that
the horses encounter with us enable them to become your future great trail
or trial horse!
