Meet the Expert Trainers: Jim and Deanna Searles of Circle S Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona. With over 35 years of experience, they've honed their skills, training American Quarter Horses and guiding select youth riders to victory in the show pen. Throughout their illustrious career, this dynamic duo has produced numerous champions in the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), Quarter Horse Congress, and National Snaffle Bit Association (NSBA) circuits.


Jim and Deanna Searles' success in both equine and human training is attributed not only to their exceptional skills but also to their unwavering commitment to positivity and authenticity in their business. These values, upheld for more than three decades, resonate with their clients, creating lasting partnerships based on trust and shared principles.


Positivity breeds success, and when Deanna discovered Draw It Out, she immediately connected with the company's positive ethos. Draw It Out's Instagram posts promoting positive thinking struck a chord with her. She thought, 'I love this company,' recognizing that a brand championing positivity is likely to be reputable and stand by its products. Deanna was eager to become a part of the Draw It Out family, drawn in by their extraordinary commitment to positivity.


During their participation in the Silver Dollar Circuit in Las Vegas, Nevada, Deanna and Jim had their first experience with Draw It Out products. They purchased the Draw It Out Horse Liniment Concentrate, which left a positive impression. The liniment was easy to apply, gentle on the horses, and pleasant to use, making it an ideal choice for daily application during horse shows. The versatility of being able to spray it on the horses' bodies for preventative maintenance further impressed Deanna.


In addition to the liniment, the Searles also embraced the MasterMudd Equibrace Horse Poultice, which is made with Manuka honey. This topical rub supports healthy joints and increased flexibility in horses. Deanna was already familiar with the healing properties of Manuka honey, as it was used in her family's medical experiences. She appreciated the convenience of using this product without gloves, given her busy schedule.


Pre-COVID, the Searles frequented more than twenty shows annually with their clients. While the pandemic has reduced the number of shows, their commitment to excellence remains unwavering. They continue to travel monthly for week-long shows, and Draw It Out products are an integral part of their routine. These products serve as both preventative maintenance and a soothing spa treatment for their equine athletes, ensuring they perform at their best.


As proud members of #TeamDiO, the Searles wholeheartedly endorse Draw It Out. They believe that the company's positive attitude resonates throughout their product line, benefiting both horses and their customers. This commitment to positivity is the hallmark of their successful partnership with Draw It Out.
