Honest Horses. Honest Training.
PRINEVILLE, OREGON · SERVING CENTRAL OREGON
Horses for sale, horse training, and hands-on workshops from our ranch in Prineville. We tell you the truth about every horse, even when it costs us the sale.
Our Promise
Straight Talk About Your Horse
We'd rather lose a sale than sell you the wrong horse. If a horse isn't right for your family, or a training goal isn't realistic for your horse, we'll tell you up front. Sometimes that means turning work away. It also means that when we say a horse is ready, it's ready.
The Whole Truth on Every Horse
Every horse we sell comes with its strengths, quirks, and limits spelled out. No surprises after the trailer pulls away.
Realistic Training Goals
Before we take your horse, we tell you what we can achieve and what we can't. If we can't help, we'll say so.
Hundreds of Clients and Counting
Over the years, hundreds of horse owners across Central Oregon have come back, and sent their friends, because we're straight with them.
What We Do
Find Your Horse. Join a Workshop.
Every horse we sell and every workshop we run is built on the same promise: we'll tell you the truth, and we'll help you and your horse succeed.

Our Approach
Trained Using Clinton Anderson's Method
The Method is a horse-training program built on respect, trust, consistency, and clear communication between horse and human. Through groundwork, body language, and pressure and release, horses learn to understand what you're asking. The result is a calm, confident, respectful horse that listens, responds, and is a pleasure to ride.
In simple terms: horses and humans learning to understand each other and work together as a team.
K Bar M Equine Services is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Clinton Anderson or Downunder Horsemanship.

Riding Lessons

Who We Are
Meet Kristine
Kristine has been around horses since she was eight years old, working alongside her mother at a riding stable in Big Bear, California. She groomed, fed, and rode every day, and helped guide trail rides for the stable's guests.
Today she runs K Bar M Equine Services from our ranch outside Prineville, Oregon. With more than 31 years around horses, over 21 years training horses with Clinton Anderson's Method, and more than 20 years as a farrier, she knows horses from the ground up. Many of her clients are parents looking for a safe, steady horse for their kids, and she takes that responsibility seriously.
Her rule is simple: tell people the truth about their horse. It's why hundreds of clients have trusted her over the years, and why they keep coming back.
