Thank you Nancy Faulconer!!! Choosing a trainer to start Chucky was a tough decision. I have always started my own horses, and if you know me, you know that I’m opinionated and strong minded about my horses. Chucky was more than ready to have a job, but my work has been so (gratefully) successfully busy, I didn’t have the time he needed. I have known Nancy for a long time, and cannot stress enough that this was the perfect choice!!
Nancy truly understands how to lay the foundation of trust and confidence in a horse.
I’m going to sound like a commercial, and so be it!
If you want a horse that is started correctly-
-calm, relaxed
- makes good choices about the questions that are asked of them
- you don’t have to organize chaos, in the ring or the trail !!!!! (Big one , people, if you don’t understand this, you definitely need Nancy!).... you will never have chaos....
- and chooses you!
.....doesn’t matter what breed or discipline,
Believe that the right start is EVERYTHING! Choose Nancy and Jordan at Cloud9 to give your horse and yourself the understanding to have a great relationship, bond, future. Choose them to restart your horse! Choose them the understand the nature of the beast! Choose them to learn yourself, how to better communicate, how to relax......
Chucky is going to be one of my endurance horses. He is a 6 yr old Arabian gelding, that was only lightly played with when I took him to Nancy. When he was ready, I picked him up and went straight to trail, and he already racked up a few hundred training miles, and he has been fantastic for everything I have asked of him. We also are in a rope halter and rope side pull.😜

Her ten hour trip began with the hauler saying “we eventually got her on”. Once home she immediately tried to scale the stall door and broke
the first of many halters. Eight months later she remained terrified of her world, combative to pressure, and genuinely unhappy. The cycle
of saddle fitting appointments, massage, ulcer treatments, and more seemed to barely scratch the surface and I was at the end of my rope. For the first month at Cloud 9 her training looked like sitting,
sitting, and more sitting. Slowly, I stopped watching the clock or thinking about when we could go on to the next step. She would not let
me fake it. I had to be genuinely present and truly relaxed. Through Cloud 9 I learned what it meant to work on a different timeline. The
milestones became smaller yet infinitely more rewarding. Today, she comes up to me in the field, ground ties, seeks out the mounting block, lunges at liberty, trail rides on a loose rein, self loads into the trailer, and can be ridden in a halter. I am truly grateful for Cloud 9 Ranch and the environment that has been carefully created to help anyone willing to learn how to truly listen to their horse and create a lasting connection.

2018 I bought a mare that was impossible to catch in a pasture and my anxiety toward riding was uncomfortable and uncontrollable. Nancy talked me into coming to a clinic at her farm to learn about liberty work! I’ve been hooked ever since. That mare is now my most trusted friend and the confidence and trust I have in my horses have grown in leaps and bounds. The monthly clinics they hold have become one of my most favorite times to bond with other like minded people to develop better communication and skills with our horses. I recommend Cloud9 Ranch to everyone I can.
