Mike Hall on his graduation from Burns High School on June 6th 2008. He has now become a full time partner with Whinny farms.   Kandy Hall Festus (My Faithful Partner - Deceased 2010) Don Hall     Mike Hall Katie Hall   1989 - 2009 Whinny Farms:Stallion Station was established by Kandy Hall in 1989 Alaska and moved to Christmas Valley, Oregon. Oregon's High Desert Country!  Whinny Farms has always housed between 20 & 40 horses. Being a “Hands On Ranch” 20 pens and 3 pastures we work with and handle horses 365 days a year from sun up and sometimes through the night! Kandy, being one of the smartest people I know when it comes to horses and the business, specializes in everything equine. Foundation Training, Western, English, Dressage, Hunter jumper, ect.  Reproductive issues from live in-hand cover to Hi-Tech horse breeding. She is very knowledgeable in equine Medicine, and is an avid pedigree researcher -From old blood to new blood she's the lady to talk to. She has studied Equine Reproduction under some of the best in the business, including Embryo Transfer/Reproduction with Dr. Ed Squiers of Colorado State University! Kandy has lived extremely remote all her life, and even after moving "to the States", has continued living remotely. She has studied to become a Vet-Tech, and together living so remote have had to take care of ALL of our own vetting needs, having our medications shipped to us. We have learned external to internal problems, and cures for them or not. (I want to say I have seen it all, but every time I say that - something new comes up!).    :-o I, Don Hall, am from Banks, Idaho. I have been around & worked with horses on and off throughout my life. I moved to Oregon, & started working with my wife Kandy at Whinny Farms:Stallion Station. I have trimmed & studied bare-foot horses for a combined 17 years. (This derived specifically from family raising horses on the open range, and when we bring them in to use and socialize, their feet are superb to some we've seen that have had impeccable hoof-trimming/shoeing schedules all their life!). My wife and I have spent many years studying horses as a herd and as individuals and we feel we have come to understand them as a horse from a horse’s point of view. Specializing in foundation training we have worked with and trained countless horses from babies to mature horses, including wild mustangs, & tame or abused horses. I have 14 years of daily hands-on experience with horses working with behavioral problems, and general training. I teach owners and riders proper horsemanship from the ground up. We are experienced in helping others gain confidence over their fears from past events, or current problems they have, and help them to get back to realizing their dreams with horses. I love to work with and have worked with many breeds of horses Arabians, Paints, Quarter, and Thoroughbreds, to name a few. I have worked with countless Wild Mustangs from California, Nevada, Oregon, and Idaho ranges. I spend most of my time working with client horses and ride many disciplines, such as Western, Reining, Dressage, and Trail.  I am a big fan of European and Spanish riding disciplines and like to practice the art of “Doma Vaquero”, (translated as "Cowboy Riding" or "Country Dressage") every chance I get. Kandy has also spent many years working with and teaching me about the horses form the inside out such as medical issues, Reproductive issues, Mare & Stud management, semen collection, semen evaluation, semen storage, mare Insemination and much more.  Mike, our son, is a "hard-worker", he helps out riding all the horses in training, and has a great foundation as an apprentice, trainer hear at the ranch, (He's Whinny Farms' enthusiastic "Crash-Test Dummy", but has had very few crashes, due to the excellent groundwork our trainees receive before they're ridden!) He did get some "crash-testing" done in Winnemucca, Nevada on bulls & saddlebronc! His other hobbies are: anything other than work, Training, riding, shooting, hunting, playing basketball, and he's an excellent welder!   Katie, our daughter, was born for riding, (will ride anything), & loves to train & ride ALL day! (Even her cow is not safe from riding - she has to lay down to escape being ridden!) Her favorite sport is anything horse! From English, Western, Hunter/Jumper, Trails, & more. Her other hobbies are raising cows & hanging out harassing her big brother, she likes that a lot! We moved our ranch to Burns, Oregon in the fall of 2004, and absolutely love it here!   Thank You            Find us at "The Big Red Barn", mile marker 147, HWY 20 East of Burns Oregon.
