Hi! Nice to meet you. Currently my name is Lil Roany, but I keep hearing my mom say that I "need a real name", whatever that means.🤔 I'm am 1 year old, and everybody acts like I'm sooo small, pshh, they dont know what they are talking about!🙄 I can do anything the big horses can do, don't know why anyone would doubt me!😎 I also hear them say that they have high hopes for me, well let me tell ya, I'm your guy! I'm pretty cool, don't underestimate me! 😁 But for real, everybody else has a cool name, I need one too!🤠

Van Aken Performance Horses is now accepting outside horses! We accept a variety of horses ranging from starting c**ts to finished rope horses and everything in between. We specialize in performance rope horses but have a wide variety of skills and expertise in multiple areas of the equine industry including reining, cow horse, western pleasure and cutting, which are all implemented into our training program. This offers a well rounded approach to any young horse that will set them up for success in the arena or out, or a great tune up for your horse as summertime approaches.
