Brian K. Whittaker has over 25 years experience in the horse business. Brian along with being a competitive roper and steer wrestler in rodeos and jackpots is also a farrier, a graduate of MN school of Horseshoeing. The goal of Whitts End Ranch LLC training program is to have a supple, responsive, and willing horse that you can enjoy in the arena and out on the trails. I will work with a horse to have respect on the ground and once this is accomplished will ask for the same while being ridden. This is accomplished by using techniques with the correct timing and feel that a horse can understand. Cattle work is also a fundamental piece of the training program.
