horses made from the heart
Versatile. Gentle. Handy.
Flora Belle Binninger grew up in Northern Idaho and has been riding horses since before she could walk. She was fortunate to learn quality horsemanship from an early age. Her family stumbled across Buck Brannaman in 2014, when she was 9, and Flora has been chasing his style of horsemanship ever since. She started her first colt with Buck when she was 13, a little pony mare that started her business of training and selling ponies with her brother. As she grew up, Flora moved on to bigger horses, but her hunger and dedication to horsemanship remained the same. Being homeschooled allowed her to travel to pursue many different horse opportunities and spend countless hours in the saddle all over the US. From a northwest Montana guest ranch to Ocala, Florida starting hunter jumpers as well as countless Buck clinics around the West, she has experienced a lot of different styles and gotten to put her hands on a variety of horses. Flora graduated high school in May of 2023, and set off on her own to work on a historic ranch in Montana and live out her dreams of making a living riding horses. Her focus is developing well rounded, gentle horses, with a horsemanship and ranch foundation. They are handy in an arena but more often than not they are used outside doing a job on the ranch, which in her opinion is the best way to make a good horse. She offers a select few sale horses per year, both privately and through sales like Art of the Cowgirl (Wickenburg, AZ) and Pitchfork Ranch Horse Sale (Meeteestse, WY). Flora occasionally takes on an outside colt or horse needing more miles but her focus has shifted to making sale horses that anyone can go enjoy. In her spare time, she rides more horses!
