Whinny
Farms:Stallion Station was established by Kandy Hall in 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
Kandy and 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!) Although I can’t
trim feet as much any more due to physical limitations, I still like
to see a balanced horse & will be happy to help you & your
horse out if I
can.
Whinny Farms was established in
1989 by Kandy Hall, & 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!
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 in
1994.
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.
We have 4 kids in our
family - One of which doesn’t reside with us, (Ashley Boise, Idaho).
Mike is 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 youngest
(12 years) 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, 4H
& more. Her other hobbies are raising cows & hanging out
harassing her big brother, she likes that a lot!
Lisa likes to ride
and work with the babies. She like's all animals and wants to find a
good job in the animal world. She enjoys music, art, photography,
and designing her own clothing.
We moved our ranch to Burns, Oregon in the fall of 2004 for a
handful of good reasons. We needed better shipping and receiving
services for horses & transported semen. We already had an
established breeding client base in Harney County, better quality
land, better schools for our kids, and just beautiful outback
country!
Our Other Interests and
Achievements
Kandy's future interests are semen
freezing & local frozen semen storage, Embryo Transplant
& Oocyte (egg) retrieval & Freezing. Likes to write &
play music,
Photography, go to horse shows, ride her motorcycle, website
creations, digital image editing, meeting & Helping Other
people.
Don's a licensed Ham Radio
Operator, and with his "tech" knowledge and Kandy's avid
interest in music - together established the 1st
Low-Power FM Community Radio Station (99.9FM Chewaucan Radio) in
Christmas Valley, Oregon - operating 3+ years! The Station was
dismantled, half was sold, and half was brought to Harney County as
a memory that we will cherish. Don is also Certified in Haz-Mat
(Hazardous Materials), Fighting Fires, Emergency Vehicle
Operator, Search and Rescue, & Scuba Diving.
Other hobbies are Doma Vaquero,
Handblown Glass Art, Working with Raw Hide,
Music, likes to go Shooting, Hunting, Fishing, & riding
his motorcycle!
Kevin My Brother Moved here
from Banks, Idaho in October of 2007, to become part of the family
ranch. His ranch dutys are to Learn and Help with the horse training
and ranch dutys.
Note from Kevin:
I enjoy all of
nature’s animals. I like riding, training (thanks to my brother) and
everything to do with horses. I like to also hike, boat, shoot,
hunt, fish, mountains, music ,ropeing , and the rodeo. I enjoy
all of the events at the rodeo and the lady's to! I have
a associates in engineering, cat teps certified, life
member of ADRA.
