CALENDAR AND EVENTS
RAFTER DIAMOND K LIVESTOCK
REGULAR WEEKLY "ROUTINE"
Our day starts about 7 am with morning feeding chores for the horses, then breakfast, coffee and
returning calls follows. Between 8 am and 9 am or after 9 pm is the best time to reach Ken "live" on the
telephone.
Ken usually starts working with horses about 9 am. This is a good time to watch Ken at work and get an
understanding of his philosophy. Ken welcomes spectators and is always willing to explain what he is
doing and seeing. While you are always welcome to drop in, his schedule is variable, so it is best to
call and book a time when you know he can interact with you.
Evenings are generally occupied with lessons. Again, you are welcome to drop in and watch, but
because our lesson program is unique and not routine, you should probably call first to find out what is
happening before you show up.

CURRENT ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES
MAKING OF A BRIDLE HORSE -For committed riders only. This course runs every second weekend. With a maximum of 3 riders per group, and two groups per day, there will be 3 hours of work with your horse. Riders are encouraged to watch the session they are not riding in.
Each session will start with a review of ground work and as the weeks progress the ultimate goal is to take your horse through the snaffle bit to the hackamore, to the two rein and finally straight up in a bridle.
This is not a drop in activity as it takes two to three years to begin to get a horse ready for the signal bits used by true bridle horses.
We personally are working towards the relatively new activity of COWBOY DRESSAGE. Would love to have you along on the journey.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Need some help, but don't have time to commit to a long term program? Call Ken and book a private time to begin your journey. You can continue at your speed.
CUSTOM CLINICS
We can design custom clinics for your group at your location or ours. References are available.
