How We Work

 

The Meyer family and staff always give their customers their very best effort and remember to treat others the way they would like to be treated.  

 

The basics of timeless horsemanship found in dressage principles is the foundation of every aspect of their Arabian horse training program, both in their performance horses and the halter horses.

 

Rhapsody in Blue Stables has an open door policy inviting anyone to come watch, learn and ask questions. Clients are encouraged to drop in to check on their horses and spend a few minutes bonding with their horse.

 

Client lessons are available no matter the level of rider and everyone is encouraged to play an active part in their horse's development.

What We Believe

 

1. LIVE EACH DAY WITH COURAGE - Courage is a character quality that is desirable in everything we do...as horsemen and as citizens of this planet. Without it, we would live pitiful, self serving lives of empty, lonely mediocrity.

 

2. TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR WORK - We can only Take Pride in Our Work when we have not cheated, taken no shortcuts and given our honest, best effort to everything we've set our hands to.

 

3. ALWAYS FINISH WHAT YOU START - The ability and determination to Finish What You Start is a hallmark in the lives of great leaders. It is a necessary component in the success of any life or endeavor and something we strive for in all we do.

 

4. DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE - When we Do What Has to Be Done, we have a key building block for living with joy and satisfaction. "Heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences." *

 

5. BE TOUGH, BUT BE FAIR - Being Tough can be challenging when we're leading our team to an ultimate goal. However, when we've established a relationship of respect by Being Fair even when we are tough, we always have a greater chance of reaching that goal with the admiration and respect of our team.

 

6. WHEN YOU MAKE A PROMISE, KEEP IT - "My word is my bond." These are words we live by. When You Make a Promise, Do You Keep It? Is our word and a handshake good enough for others to work with us? That's what we work toward.

 

7. RIDE FOR THE BRAND - "When a cowboy agreed to ‘Ride For The Brand,’ it meant they were ready to work, and be loyal to their outfit . . . to live, fight, and if necessary, die for it." A Brand is an identity and everything we do reflects that identity. We work hard to honor the people and Arabian horses we work with.

 

8. TALK LESS AND SAY MORE - Actions speak louder than words. Living out what we talk about is much harder than just talking about it. Imagine how much quieter and productive things would be it we Talked Less and Said More!

 

 9. REMEMBER THAT SOME THINGS ARE NOT FOR SALE - Some Things Are Not For Sale. Never compromise your best for something less 

 

10. KNOW WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE - When you know right is right and wrong is wrong, you'll always Know Where to Draw The Line.
