Testimonials

I purchased one of your horses through an online auction out of Las Vegas. I had only been able to view him on a video prior to the sale but Devo was exactly as presented upon his arrival. I also appreciate you making yourself available to me for information and advice after the sale.

I bought my “once in a lifetime” horse from James and Debby having never met them before. What an awesome experience we had and quickly found out they are such down to earth honest people . I cherish our friendship and most definitely will buy my next horse from them.

Olara is really a sweetheart and seems to love her new home here in Washington state. She is ridden by everyone in the family and has really taken a liking to my son David. He is still learning to ride and she takes things slow for him. We look forward to many years with her. Thank you for this gorgeous girl.

Hi I purchased the paint mare Dorothy from you in April of 2024. Just wanted to update you on this wonderful mare. She was bre and foaled May 17, 2026, a beautiful paint filly. I am attaching a few photos of our new little girl. Thanks again, we love her.

Elsa is doing well. She has pretty much turned into a pasture horse, I have not worked with her at all after having my baby!!! She is really amazing with Lisa (my baby) pretty much every evening I take Lisa to see her and Splash our other horse, and Lisa will take her hand and rub down Elsa face and just oh and awe at her its really neat and Elsa just stands there and lets her even pull her hair!!! I love it!!! She is very loved. Take care

We got home with Jack safe and sound. He is in the corral tonight visiting with our other horses across the fence. He is fun and easy to ride. My mom even got on him. She usually doesn’t get on new horses. Thank you very much.

I purchased a horse from James and Debby Galvan and Sims is everything they said he was and more. I found them to be friendly, trustworthy and very knowledgeable. They will be the first trainers I contact for any future purchases and I really appreciate their follow-up after the purchase.

Last year I had the pleasure of purchasing 3 horses from Jams and Debby. After watching the videos, I found out they would be sold at an auction via a Facebook ad. I contacted Ike Sankey of Botts Remount to find out how the auction would work. Since I was unable to attend, I signed up as an online bidder. Under normal circumstances I would not purchase a horse sight unseen but Ike assured me that these were some amazing horses and that James would guarantee them. I purchased Buckshot, Jerry and Gizmo. Buckshot is my roping horse, Jerry is my working cow horse and Gizmo is all around. When they delivered the horses to me in California I was ecstatic! They were everything that the videos portrayed and then some. Over the years I have had many horses but all of them needed training of some sort. I can’t say enough about being able to get on one of these horses and go, no training required! Gives a whole new meaning to owning a horse! I would totally recommend any horse James and Debby have trained whether you have the opportunity to see them or sight unseen!

Debby, Just a personal note of thanks to you and James for your hospitality and friendship.You are successful because of the little things you do extra. (You’re my kind of people) I look forward to our future associations. Thanks again.

I bought my horse from the Galvans overs a year ago. I wanted to return to riding after a forty year absence, so I needed a horse that was both gentle and well trained. I remember James telling me that I could drive all over the United States and not find another horse as special as Levi, and I thought to myself that that was probably just “horse trader BS.” After owning this horse for over a year, I have to say that was a fact. Levi truly is an exceptional, highly-trained horse that has been so patient with me as I’ve learned to compete in reined cow horse, western pleasure, trail, and reining. I won third in reined cow horse in my very first competition! I can trail ride on Levi, and he’s the same if I ride him daily or once a month. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another Valley Horse Ranch…they’re worth it! If you are looking for your dream horse…look no further! The Galvans are truly amazing and fantastic people with even more incredible horses! I got my dream horse over the phone on a bid! And yes, it was easy and fun! My horse is more breathtaking than I can imagine. All I can say is don’t worry if you cant travel pick up the phone. I’ll be bidding again! 5 Stars

We bought a Lilly unseen from Valley Horse Ranch. A lovely buckskin mare. Living in The Netherlands this was quiet an adventure as based on trust we stepped into this. In May we got to get to know the horse and James Galvan. What a lovely honest and warm-hearted friends we found and above all an AMAZING HORSE! Lilly was flown after 4 weeks of quarantine in The Netherlands. She is everything and more that James promised us. A completely relaxed, easy to handle horse, well trained, well mannered and speedy and fun to ride with a ton of fun tricks on board!! A beauty I proudly show to all our friends and family. Such beauty it makes cars stop… Lilly very quickly adopted her new home, the new sounds and smells and stayed as steady as James trained her. We are in heaven!!!

We have known James for over 20 years. We bought a horse from James and Debby about a year ago. Though we knew what the horse was at the time we purchased him and he has turned out far nicer than we expected. We will definitely buy another horse from James and Debby in the future. 5 star review 🙂

2 years ago, I bought a horse sight unseen from someone who promised me the horse was suitable for my needs. I was totally ripped off. After much research and of course being nervous of trusting anyone, I reached out to James Galvan. After watching lots of videos and making a few inquiries I now wanted desperately to own a horse trained by James Galvan. I made a call to inquire about a gorgeous mare they were selling. After explaining to James I needed a very quiet safe horse due to my weight and my extreme nervousness. James could have sold me the horse I called about, but instead, he was extremely honest and told me that specific horse would not be the right one for me. James promised he would help me find the right horse for me. Few moments later, I would receive a message from James telling me he had the perfect horse for me. He was willing to work with me and make sure I got him home to Canada safely. Dude is everything he said he was and more. He is the love of my life. I will never buy another horse from anyone else.

I recently bought a horse from Valley Horse Ranch and am completely satisfied with him. I have never been around a horse that is as solid broke and well trained as this horse. He has a lot of energy but is absolutely controllable. This horse is up to any job given to him. Everyone that rides him is impressed with how well he handles and how athletic in and out of the arena that he is. I consider this horse a very good buy.

These folks at Valley Horse Ranch were so hospitable and kind to us on our visit to their ranch. Can’t say enough about their good character and good training that we witnessed. Hope to get to enjoy one of their horses in the future!

We have purchased two James Galvan horses recently at sales in Shawnee, Okla. We are very pleased with them, the horses have been well trained and conditioned to perform as represented…

Hello, I am sorry to just be getting back with you. Baby was sick and then me too. Well I have wonderful news. Scoop and Tama are lopping the barrels. That little mare really takes care of Leah. Everyone says I got a great little horse. I give them your web site. Hope you make a sale someday from Scoop & Tama. I will be expecting my commission from any sales. LOL Well you take care. Talk to you soon.

Just want to thank you both again for such an awesome horse! What started out as purchasing a horse because he was kind and gentle turned into a competitive individual in the show ring! He possessed everything you said about him plus much more!! I can’t begin to tell you what a once in a lifetime horse Regan is. I was always be thankful to you!

Buying my horse over the phone from Valle Horse Ranch was a wonderful experience. It allowed me to buy outside of New England. The horse is everything they said he would be and more. I highly recommend doing business with them. I really appreciate how helpful, kind and honest they were.

I have had a fifty year career as a professional horseman. Multiple national champions in the Show Hunter World, polo ponies that went on to play in forty goal tournaments . Now is the time for me to have a horse that is in an entirely different discipline with the goal to see him become a World Champion Versatility Horse. This gelding will hopefully take us there. Thank you Valley Horse Ranch. We bought a wonderful horse from James and Debby and he is and was everything they said he was. This horse has an exceptional foundation and we have high expectations for him in the Show Pen. We were present at that sale, but will not hesitate to buy from them again, even sight unseen over the phone. They are the best…

God has blessed me with many nice horses in my lifetime, two of the best have come through my friend James Galvan. The first being, Moose, who helped qualify me five times to the Texas Circuit Finals rodeo and maintain a Top 15 status in the world standings for several years in the WPRA. The second is a horse named Billy who I know has a brilliant future as well. Jame’s commitment to training and selling quality horses is apparent the moment you step into their barn. Jame’s hard work and love for horses combined with James’ gift to train them to accomplish things we typically only see in the movies makes this delightful couple a tremendous asset to the horse world! I trust their expertise and would recommend their program to anyone.

Well trained horses that are also beautiful are hard to find! The Galvans specialize in training these types of horses. If you want a cutter, reiner, roper or just a pleasure horse, they will have what you want. The horse you choose will also be calm, well mannered and drop dead gorgeous! I searched for a year to find my perfect horse, and finally found him at Valley Horse Ranch.

So, so proud of my little mare yesterday…she battled the sorting hole, battled tough cows & took 1st place. She has become one of the neatest little horses I have ever owned. Love my Metallic Cat girl! Thank you James Galvan

Hi James, i wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying Trisha, which I named Annie. She is the sweetest mare I have ever been around. The trainer that trains for trails took her out for a few hours and said she is great. Everyone I ride with wants to buy her. Click on the big picture and the pictures below with appear where she is swimming. Thanks again,

What a wonderful experience it’s been buying from Valley Horse Ranch in Texas. Bonnie is exactly as promised, and fit into the family right away. James was there for any questions we had post-sale, and went out of their way to have him delivered since our work schedule the week post sale was nuts. Bonnie has found a forever home, and we know where to look for our next horse-first stop: James Galvan.

I have purchased one of the best trained gypsy Vanner in the world. This horse was trained by James Galvan in Texas. The first horse I bought from James was a Vanner cross I bought in Shawnee ok. I cannot express what a joy it has been to be so fortunate to have been blessed with these wonderful horses. James have been so helpful in the transition of these horses. I would recommend anyone to have one of the Galvans horses from novice to professional if you are looking for a premium trained horse from trail riding through professional performance horses I would recommend the Galvans should your go to horse providers.

I met the Galvans in Mission, Texas. I bought a gelding from them and will share they did everything they said they would do and more. They were pleasant, honest, and went far the extra mile. Now long after the sale is concluded we stay in contact, always helpful. I know they will not tell me what I want to hear, but what they believe to be the facts. They’ve become trusted friends in the industry; along with – I bought a great horse with a quiet mind and fun to ride and work on the ranch. Chief has been a great addition to our ranch and herd, he loves to work hard and really covers some ground….. and Lord forgive the cow that doesn’t move the way he wants! Happy to share my experience…

Two years ago I attended the San Antonio Ranch Gelding Sale held in conjunction with the annual San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. I bought a bay roan called Billy. I’ve ridden and owned many horses over the last 50 years but I have never had one as finished and versatile as the Gelding I bought from James. This Gelding is kid gentle, can rope, rein, ranch, cut,and trail with any level rider who can sit in the saddle and hold the reins. James is incredibly talented,widely recognized and highly regarded as a “horseman’s” trainer. His horses top the sales around the country and deservingly so. I’m coming back to you for more just like Billy. Thanks James! A very satisfied owner, Roy!

My wife and I purchased a beautiful paint horse from James Galvan. Bell was everything they said she was. If I was to buy another horse I would definitely consider buying from them. Very easy to deal with and honest. Just watch their videos. Amazing!!

Hi Valley Horse Ranch, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy Louis. He is everything you said; He is doing well. I have not gotten to ride much with all the rain, but when I do I really like him. My husband “cowboy troy” has ridden him once very quietly and is getting used to him and likes him to. Thanks, Kelly

Sorry these took so long to send, but we just wanted to let you know how well Poncho is doing. Riley and Poncho are really starting to shave off the seconds around the barrels. He went to the rodeo and did very well. I emailed you some pictures.

Thank you so much for selling me Misty. She has given me the confidence I need in the show pen. She is always consistent and patient with me. I love her and so does everyone in our stable. I will definitely be buying my next horse from you. Good, honest and down-to-earth people. Thank you!

Hidalgo is now living on our ranch in ND. He is an amazing animal, and pretty darn flashy to boot. James did an incredible job of training this horse. To say that both the trainer and the horse are something special would be a major understatement. We could not be more pleased.

James and Debby Galvan are the most loving, honest horse people that you can meet. They care more about matching the horse to the person, than just selling a horse. When we met them, I was looking at a big strong palomino but they steered me to Nero instead, a solid gentle versatility horse. They spent three days with me making sure that this horse and I were a perfect fit! Both James and Debby are accomplished horsemen and champions. If you have the opportunity and privilege to buy a Galvan horse, consider yourself blessed! The best money you will spend on a horse!

Ditto to all the above! The Galvans are rarities in the horse selling business! James goes above and beyond to answer questions and matching the horse to what you tell her you’re looking for. I love my horse I got from them and love the buying experience they provide. First class all the way.

Hi There. I wanted to thank you again for selling me my pronominal horse last May. He has been amazing and we have done great this year in the NWRCHA shows. What we love about Tril is that I have been able to ride and show him without having him in training. I go to lessons with a trainer but I am the one riding him. We have killed it this show season and everyone is shocked that he is not with a trainer. He is so honest. He is the perfect horse and if you could find me a duplicate I would be so happy. I also show in the ranch riding classes. Tril is the best horse ever. Thank you.

I was looking for my unicorn, a gentle, level headed gelding with reining training. Base on my descriptions, Jake picked out Blue. Trip to Texas and I was welcomed, given the chosen horse and rode most of the day to make sure he was a good fit. James let me experience the horse on my own but was always nearby for questions and instructions. James taught Blue to lay down as well, to be used to mount on the trail if need. Riding out in the pastures, sealed the deal. Blue is exactly what they said, and what I needed. I trusted there from the start. I am excited about our future. I am extremely impressed with their operation and got to watch James and his team in action training other horses. I have admired the training talents for over a year. Thank you, James and the Galvan family for making a life long dream come true. It’s wonderful to ride a horse so well trained.

He is a very happy horse. We have been working cattle. Gathering cows and weaning calves. He is getting used to the zebras and the camel, Joseph. We will start back on barrels soon He sends his Love

James Galvan is a top notch and their horses show it! I purchased one of their geldings at the in Montana and I am in love with my new boy. He is super trained, great at cutting and can lay down and sit, too! I get compliments on him all the time and he is just an all around great horse! Thank you James for a great gelding!

A couple of years ago I watched a horse video of James Galvan it blew me away. I contacted James and discussed what I was looking for in a Horse. Over time I tried to buy a couple of different horses they had for sale at select horse sales. I was unsuccessful. The Galvans invited me to come down to there Facility in Mission TX. I took them up on there offer. When I got there, I was greeted by Debby and James both of whom are very accomplished horse people/ the real deal. The arena was first class, but what I wasn’t expecting was 70 plus outstanding looking horses in there program and they know these horses inside out which enables them to match them to buyers needs. After I rode a few horse we collectively agreed Bucky was the horse for me. He is great. The Horse Business can be very misleading at times and many buyers have had bad experiences. That is why I would strongly suggest contacting Valley Horse Ranch as they most likely will be able to provide you with the Horse you are hoping to buy. 2

We have been so blessed to meet the Galvan and to have Diego in our lives! My kids have/are overcoming their fears and doing more than their little hearts have ever imagined. Diego has truly been a big part of our lives and we are so grateful!

Darion is doing swell. We gave him some time in a corral by himself yesterday morning and he really enjoyed that. Strutting around like a Lead Stallion. Nose and tail flying high. And snorting up a storm. Getting a bunch of ooo’s and aaah’s from the spectator’s. I walked him around the facility on a lead rope, so he could see the surroundings. In the afternoon, I saddled him and we took about a 20 minute ride around the grounds. Linda and I did some grooming and he delighted in all the attention. We check on him each night around 7:30 just to tuck him in. He has such a fun personality. Very Playful and he definitely has connected to both of us. We love him so much! We have daily turn out and grooming for him. His stall is cleaned twice a day. He now has a mineral Block and I got a playful hanging ball for his stall. We are changing his Nickname to “Cowboy”. I hope you don’t mind. Thanks to you and James for giving us such a joyful horse. And thanks for you friendship.

Brian is doing great. He’s settling into the snaffle we’re using and just a really good boy. Even after we had lots of rain and we could only ride in the crowded indoor arena, he was really good. I can feel that he has an intense energy about him, but he’s never used it to be naughty, just like you said he would be. He is eager to please. I can see him constantly thinking. I really love him.

I would like to thank James and the Valley Horse Ranch team for their professionalism and kind nature. We were looking for a good ranch horse and James was very helpful and directed me to the perfect horse. Booster is extremely well mannered whether you’re gathering cattle , working in the pens or babysitting our 5 year old grandson. Thank you for such an awesome horse!

I recently purchased 2 beautiful Geldings from the Valley Horse Ranch. There names are Bella and Perez. I’ve only had them for a short time but after looking for 8 months at this point I feel like I couldn’t have done better. I feel James is as good as you can get for training and does an awesome job of following up with any questions you may have. I’m just a greenhorn and they have treated me with great respect and courtesy and I really appreciate that. I bought the horses for my granddaughters and they are super excited just as I am. I would like to thank James and Galvan team for helping me obtain my dreams and knocking one more number off my bucket list. God Bless you both.

James, thought I’d update you on Hank, I’ve ridden him three times now just around the property but he’s been perfect. Dad’s farm has scary things everywhere and it doesn’t bother him a bit! He is such a pleasure to work with. If we ever get to Texas I would really like to meet you. It’s been a pleasure doing business with you.

We bought a horse called Hanger from James, Super Star horse !!! Would not even think of selling him. I won my 1st buckle on him and i’m sure there will be many more to come. thanks James…

Thank you for arranging direct and timely transport for this gorgeous horse. Leo is doing well at our groves in Central FL and enjoys his new job. Our trainer is impressed with Leo’s level of training and response and says he is as smooth as it gets. He is a great horse and will be my number 1 ride. I would recommend your horses to anyone. Your videos, presentation, and communication are the best in the business.

Made it home great. He’s has a great personality. He will fit in perfect here. Thanks for checking in. When y’all get back in settle in let us know. I want to bring my granddaughters up.

Hi! Just wanted to give you an update on Delphine. Boy let me tell you how scared I was to buy a horse on the Internet! I have never done that before not sure I would ever do that again with anyone except Valley Horse Ranch. When we 1st got home Delphine bolted out of the trailer, I was like ok she was tiered of being in there. She saw the goats next door and our mini stud running up and she went mad. I could barley get her in the pasture she was running and snorting and totally freaking out. I thought oh my gosh I was lied to I have bought a wild horse. She carried on like that for the rest of the day. The goats scared her like crazy. After the next day she calmed down and my neighbor a barrel racer rode her and she did great. My daughter rode her some and did ok but she still needs lessons. I have been riding my entire life so I tried her out the next day and boy was I impressed. I love the way she rides. I took her down the road and she did not flinch once. There was flag poles with flags flapping, cars, trucks and trailers going by. Dogs barking and running up. She just kept her head down and kept going. We crossed a bridge with running water under it and she did not even look. Took her down to the school walked her through the parking lot up and down curbs through the play ground that has tons if weird stuff for a horse. She did what ever I asked of her and never spooked. We are so happy. The weather has been bad so we only rode her over the past weekend but I am sure she is the type of horse that will stay the same no matter what. I will be looking for a horse for myself soon, just need to save up some money. I am planning on buying from ya’ll again. Thanks so much. Pictures coming with better weather. Would love for you to post the on the new owners page. Thanks

Hi there, Just wanted to let you know that the horses arrived today in great shape.  They are all we hoped they’d be and were truly great considering they had been on the road for a couple of days, switched trailers so the shipper wouldn’t have to come on a narrow back road, then came to a new place (where a stallion was out racing up and down a nearby fence.)  We’re very pleased and happy with both of them! Thanks so much for everything!! Amy

I realized that I hadn’t given you the awesome testimonial  about Triples that you so deserve. Thank You!! We love her. We call her Dovey now because she is truly amazing!! She is one of the kindest, sweetest horses I have ever owned, we adore her! I was so nervous about buying out of state but the process was easy and WOW the payoff of owning a horse this nice was HUGE!! She lives nicely during the day in a 2 acre pasture and we tuck her in at night in a warm cozy barn. We do lots of trail riding (even lots of horse camping), she has been an amazing confidence builder for me, I just can’t say enough great stuff about her, Thank You!!!

Hello James, I just wanted to say that Danny is doing good and is a great horse. He is in a good home and is loving his two playmates (Onyx and Boyzi, both Geldings). I have sent several other people your website as I was pleased with what you had to offer when I came to look at the horses and the time you spent with us. Take care and I will talk to you soon.

Hi- Hope all is well back there in TX! Barron and I are up near Chama, NM for the summer and loving the temperatures and views. Just thought you would like to know how he and I are working out. Today we did a 26 mile ride/walk across the border of CO/NM, most of it in some of the more rugged country that I’ve been in with a horse. Let’s put it this way…..we made our own trail. After all my years of riding horses in the mountains of Colorado, northern BC Canada, and even in the wilds of Kyrgyzstan on the border of China, I can honestly say that Barron is one of those horses who is made for the mountains and loves every minute of it. I am extremely impressed with his agility and willingness to go anywhere and try anything. He cannot seem to get enough of going hard and exploring even the nastiest places in the woods. Just yesterday I rode him with a couple other horseback friends and even after 4 hrs of uphill at 9,000 ft +, he still was not wanting to go back to the corrals…even got kind of upset about ending the ride! I don’t know what his previous owners used him for, but if they had used him like I am I doubt they would have ever sold him. From forging a chest-high river while packing our Jack Russell terrier, to sliding down a slippery mud slope on his butt and traversing a very bad patch of deadfall timber, he is truly a joy to ride and be around. All the fresh mountain grasses he can eat, and endless trails and backcountry to explore seem to have put him in horsey heaven. Plus, the cool 45 degree nights and 80’s of the day are very pleasant too. When I get back from my upcoming backpacking trip into Wyoming I’m going to get him used to picket lines and hobbles. I plan on making a couple solo trips with overnights and need him to be able to graze at will during the night. I would just let him be free, but am afraid he would come sniff and harass me all night because I am resting when we could be riding! In three weeks we are helping move 1,000 head of cattle into another pasture here in the CO National Forest. Based on his eagerness to get after those critters today, I could be in for a little bit of “Man from Snowy River” action going after strays. Am getting him shod with cleat shoes this next week for better traction on those steep slopes. I am so glad that the black horse that I was interested in that day sold..…otherwise I probably would never have had the chance to meet Barron and gain a new buddy and unbelievable riding horse. Sometimes horses just have untapped potential. Attached are a few photos of myself and friends with Barron during our big trek today. These were taken in the portion of the ride where I needed the exercise more than him! Our friends are so in love with him….the gal is totally spoiling him with treats. 🙂

Hey James, Just sending you an update on Fred! We absolutely LOVE him! He has been so kind. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body! Our friends brother is almost completely paralyzed and he said he would give anything to ride Fred. So, they put him in the saddle and Fred knew that he was almost paralyzed because he stood perfectly still and led this man around as though he was a baby. So, we absolutely love him! You couldn’t ask for a better horse!

Hi! Just a note to tell you that Balack has arrived safe and sound. He is Canadian now…..lol He sure is tired though. It sure was a long haul for him of course. Got him in his stall and looked around and found the water and had a nice drink and ate some hay. Groomed him up nicely from all the traveling sweat and his nose was just a twitching! Will give him a day rest and just groom him and get to know him a bit more before riding him. Will probably do that on Monday. Does this wee fella got a nice petite head. My halters are all to big for him. Will buy one special for this guy. Also, up here in Canada we do a spur stop on our horses.. Trainers do anyways. Is there certain commands you do with him, like kisses or clucks? Just would like to do the same commands as you do. Would make it much easier on him. Can’t believe how cute he is? Nice size for me also. Thanks and have a wonderful day..

Hi James! I just wanted to send you a note to thank you once again for suggesting Dickson to me. He is such a wonderful horse and has a terrific personality. It is hard to believe that he is so mature even though he is only four years old. Now that I am mostly recovered from my injures and back to riding, I have been taking him to some local shows. This weekend we got four firsts and one second. Dickson is such a quick learner – one he sees something just once or twice he becomes a pro at it. I am planning on starting to work with him on reining again and also on trail riding. One of his best traits is his versatility. He is also the easiest horse to catch in the pasture – when he hears my voice he runs across the pasture and stands at the gate for me. Dickson is so unique (and smart) and he is a joy to have as part of our family. We will be back to see you someday for a “husband horse”. W

Hi James, I know your a busy person but I have to tell you. I love this horse! I took her to roping lessons with my son and tracked a few calves on her. She was a blast! I’m not sure if she’s ever ran that hard but she was right on the cows and was biting their butts. It was great! She’s still not sure what’s going on but is definitely settling in well. Thanks for all of your help. We will buy from ya’ll again in the future.

Hi James, I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely adore Rita. She is exactly what I have been looking for for a very long time. Next time you and Debby make it to New Orleans you have got to come ride with us. I am going to send you some pics of us riding on the levee. I have never put a saddle on her. I ride her bareback in a hack every time I go out. I have not found a saddle wide enough for her yet but she doesn’t need one. Thanks so much for everything. She his such an awesome horse.

I love The Galvans and All their animals! They are such amazing trainers! All three of my children ride Valley Horse Ranch horses and we wouldn’t have it any other way! Incredibly impressed!!! Love this cowboy and cowgirl!! They are the best trainers!!!! Horses are amazing!!! James and his team have the intuition to fit a rider to the perfect horse. The horses they train are disciplined, well-mannered & very versatile. They are a very down to earth, honest team that helped my wife with two once in a life time horses. Thank you for the forever smile on her face.

James is a very accomplished riders and trainer. He is honest and can match a horse to your needs and abilities. They are personal friends and would do anything for anyone. Just wonderful people. One of the very best horse man I’ve ever known and I have known him for over 35 years and still very impressed with his ability. We have purchased 3 horses from them! They are awesome trainers and we could not be happier with our new babies. These horses are exactly as advertised!

When our family purchased Coop we knew we needed to buy more Valley Ranch Horses for our ranch. So we add to our stables 3 beautiful horses. The horses all have different personalities (the best).We can do anything on them with confidence. Safety is a big deal with me and I will alway pay more money for a horse that I know if any of my family or fiends gets on them that the horse is bombproof. All four are excellent with younger riders, beginner rides, or with the Ranch Manger. Thank you both so much. We really appreciate you showing us around meeting horse people and quality horses. We are very glad to have met y’all and look forward to doing more business with y’all. Plus you will not work with nicer folks than James and his team. PS I need two more.

Just to let you guys know the buyer is extremely excited about the horses. I’ve ridden them up here with him for the last few days. They are extremely happy with them. They are absolutely perfect and could not be happier. Thank you guys for everything, but had to let you know they are beyond excited and look forward to a long relationship. Your horses are great and exactly what you said they were. So thank you again and look forward to riding together soon. So happy we got to meet you guys and see what great people you are. thanks again.

Recently, I wanted to start riding again. I hadn’t been on a horse in 25 years, so safety was foremost on my mind. I needed a horse that was fun to ride, but at the same time “bullet proof”. A great friend of mine suggested that I visit James Galvans Valley Horse Ranch to see their program. On my first of a couple of visits, I found James to be a great host and also incredibly talented. He spent the time to understand what I wanted and more importantly what I needed. I found the horse in Gunner. A few weeks after bringing Gunner home to improve my horsemanship skills for no better reason than to not embarrass my horse at horse shows. We were awarded most improved rider…Gunner did most of the work. If you share my goals in purchasing a safe and talented horse from people you can trust, then give James and his team a call.
