What Makes Joe different?

Joe Sansone began competing in Ranch Sorting events almost as soon as he began riding. During his career, Joe has won 9 State Championships and 7 World Championships since 2012.

Joe has created his own distinctive approach to training horses, called Partnership Training. His aim is to build a real connection with each horse and collaborate with them to achieve their best potential. He believes that only through this two-way relationship can riders truly get the most from their horses. We continually work to make our signals gentler so that our horses respond to even the slightest cues.

Importantly, Joe never leaves spur marks on any horse, his Partnership Training method makes harsh measures unnecessary. As Joe explains, “You could try to control a horse by dominating it, forcing it to obey out of fear. But then what happens when the rider takes the horse home? If the owner isn’t as skilled or forceful as the trainer, the horse often reverts to old behaviors.”

Rather than using dominance, Joe focuses on teaching horses to be soft and responsive. After 30-45 days, every horse trained through his Partnership Training program will have developed the following skills:

  • They will trot or lope in a round pen without the rider holding onto the reigns
  • They will stop when the rider is not holding the reigns
  • They will move forward without the rider kicking or spurring the horse
  • They will turn reacting only to the leg without reigns
  • They will initiate a turn from the rider simply looking in one direction.

Leasing a Horse

Leasing a Horse

Leasing a horse presents a valuable opportunity for riders to increase their riding experience without assuming the full responsibilities associated with purchasing and owning a horse. This arrangement allows riders to gradually acclimate to equestrian responsibilities and assess whether horse ownership is an appropriate long-term decision.

An open lease permits the lessee to ride a variety of horses during the lease period. This flexibility enables riders to progress to different mounts, explore various types of horses, and develop their skills comprehensively. Such a lease option is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to identify which horse type best aligns with their preferences and needs, ultimately assisting prospective owners in making informed purchasing decisions.

Leasing a Horse

For an open lease the following terms apply:

  • Lessee agrees to provide a minimum of 2 hours’ notice before riding to allow lessor to determine which horse is available. (1 days’ notice makes it easier for us to provide the horse of your choice)
  • Lessee is NOT RESPONSIBLE for farrier or veterinarian expenses while the horse is at the lessor’s premises.
  • Lessee IS responsible for any injuries that occur off-site.

The monthly horse lease fees are as follows:

  • 8 rides per month includes1 show date                $450
  • 12 rides per month includes 2 show dates             $650
Horse Boarding

Horse Boarding

RoseMary Horse Ranch provides boarding services for a limited number of horses. Horses boarded here share the property with those owned by trainer Joe Sansone and receive the same level of care as his own. Both Joe and a full-time ranch hand reside on site and are present at the ranch most days, ensuring attentive supervision. Our staff knows each horse well, monitoring them throughout the day to safeguard their health and safety. They understand individual routines, such as when a horse usually lies down and what constitutes normal behavior, allowing them to quickly identify any issues that may arise.

WE ARE NOT A DIRT RANCH, pastures are lush and green

RoseMary Horse Ranch offers over 30 acres of land and 10 distinct pastures available for horses. Each pasture is regularly fertilized and maintained to ensure ample forage for grazing. Barring severe drought conditions, the pastures are typically lush and green for 8 to 9 months each year. The property is well-drained and, even following heavy rainfall, pastures usually dry within one or two days. Our horse boarding philosophy prioritizes creating a relaxing environment for both horses and their owners. All horses enjoy access to grazing pastures, which supports their overall temperament and rider compliance.

We can accommodate the specific needs of your horse, whether he/she needs their own small pasture or turnout, or only requires pasture grazing for a few hours a day.

You can rest easy knowing your horse is always close by, with stalls or pastures located within 100 feet of the home of owner Joe Sansone and the home of the full time staff. We monitor your horse’s wellbeing twice a day during feeding, making sure they receive attentive care. A veterinarian and farrier are available on call.
