“Clay West has done such a good job with our horse. Soft touch, resistance free and the patience of a saint. Leah West has the gift of maintaining impeccable overall health and stunning coat. We couldn’t have our Flash in better hands. Literally.

— Sherri Stuhr Lindsay

“Clay West is an extraordinary instructor. He has the unique ability to combine knowledge and honesty with patience. He has proven he “can teach an old dog new tricks…” He has taught me a tremendous amount about the sport of cutting. I will also say he portrays the same qualities when training a horse. Obviously, I am a fan of Clay and Leah West of CW Elite Cow Horses. I recommend them and their program if you want to improve your horsemanship or if you have a horse that needs additional training. You will be pleased with the progress. ”

“First Place - I love my Charlie - he is a penning dude - he worked so good tonight. Does the gates so good too. I truly believe he was put on this earth to be mine! You have never had a customer happier than I am with my horse - he is perfect to me! ”

— Kim Stansell

“Leah & Clay are truly honest hard working people who believe that treating people right is the Golden Rule. I have been training with them, bought and sold horses from their program. Will not find better people to do business with. They always coach me when I’m competing against or with them. Your success is their success.”

— Gary McBride

“Leah went above and beyond helping my husband and I find just the right horse for each of us. She spent a lot of time with us, let us ride several horses and some more than once, was extremely patient with all of our questions and did not put any pressure on us. We will absolutely reach out to her again in the future. Thanks Leah and Clay!!!! ”

— Geri Cooke

“I saw a gelding that Leah had advertised for sale by video and loved him. I made the decision to buy him without making the trip to try him out, and do not regret it. The horse is exactly as he was represented, and every aspect of the transaction was smooth. I couldn’t ask for better folks to do business with. Very honest and extremely professional. I will be a repeat customer! ”

— Tyler Nunley

“Just have to tell you that I’m about to cry…..happy tears! Cherie and I went to a land lease and rode for over two hours! Whiskey was phenomenal. Never once did I get nervous. He gave me the softest little trot, stayed very soft in the face, responsive to leg and was brave when going down into a ravine and back up. He loaded like a champ. He passed every test! I’m officially back in the saddle with confidence thanks to you. ”

“I can feel the compassion you are talking about just being in the presence of Clay, your parents and YOU, Leah. That is why we have made the trip to Oklahoma three times in the last 10 weeks. You are ALL amazing people and I consider myself extremely blessed to know you all. Your horse training program is top notch in every way. I have learned so much from you and Clay. I can’t wait for you to come north. Take care!”

— Jenniffer Kohn

“I love you guys! It’s hard leaving a horse with a trainer when you hear so many horror stories and have witnessed some firsthand yourself. But you both are so genuine and honest. I trusted you with my horse and would do it again. The future is bright for you both.”

— Melody Lindsay

“Tom and I live in Washington State and have taken a couple of clinics from Clay and Leah. They are 100% salt of the earth folks. I have 4 friends who have purchased horses from them and we’re over the top excited with the horses they purchased.”

— Carrie Silvernale

“Had a blast at the Clinic Twisted Pine Arena last night with Clay & Leah; if you haven’t participated in a clinic with them I HIGHLY suggest that you do!”

— Liz Dietzman

“I just wanted to take a minute and express my gratitude for all the inspirational posts you make and the wonderful training tips. I have casually been in the market for a new horse but life keeps happening and I’m unable to buy at the moment but I really enjoy watching your sale videos. It’s nice to see how soft your horses are and how quiet and responsive they are. So many videos I see the horse is so uptight waiting to be snatched around they can’t relax and enjoy their job. You have such great communication with your horses and it’s obvious they enjoy everything they do with you. I’m good at noticing things but not so good at applying them sometimes but I aspire to have the confidence and quiet ability that you have! It may be a year from now but if at all possible I look forward to meeting you and buying one of your horses! ”

— Tiffany Dowdy Bell

“We believe in the welfare of the horse and long, successful careers for our horses. When done correctly, a horse will crave its job and look forward to the next show! This speaks volumes! Unfortunately, I’ve found all trainers aren’t interested in this portion of their job. I have a young horse in training with Clay and couldn’t be happier. They are professionals who put the best interest of the horse first in their training program. ”

— Marcia Menzer

“By the way, I have to say your videos are the most helpful resource I’ve found. I’ve been studying intensely for the past year or so trying to learn as much as I can to improve. But I’ve found very little specific information. I train myself so I know a lot of trainers and have no problem asking questions of other trainers as well. I’m always willing to share whatever I know with anyone. But I’ve found when I ask questions about sorting people are very vague. I usually get, “you need a good stop and turn around…” or something similar and then they tell me they can sell me just the horse I need LOL. So, you folks have provided me with way more information specifically than I’d found in a year or more and it’s quality information that I can apply and improve with. I want to thank you for that. Have a great weekend.”

“I just wanted to say how perfect Audacious Cat has been. It’s a great match. You represented him perfectly. From one trainer to another I wanted to thank you for making a sight unseen, long distance purchase smooth and easy. It’s great to be able to communicate what you need for a client with another trainer and have it work out so well. Thanks again. ”

“Thanks to Leah for her honesty and hospitality yesterday. Flew 1600 miles round trip for my wife to ride BT who Leah thought would be perfect for her. 25 degrees but did not deter Leah or Lynna from enjoying BT - thanks so much. Lynna loves her new horse. Excited about getting BT to his new home in Indiana. Great job Leah! ”

Thank you so much for being so honest about him. It was a tough decision to purchase him and not be able to try him but he is everything you said.”
