Shannon and Chex I have been training professionally since 1992.
As a youth I competed in Paint and Pinto shows in New York state. My last year of 14-18, I led the nation in Western Showmanship for Pintos and was near the top in many of the other events that I showed in as well. As a professional, I have competed and earned breed show points in most of the show events, Halter, Hunter Under Saddle, Western Pleasure, Western Riding, Trail, Reining and Working Cowhorse. I have shown and coached riders at the World Show in the Paint, Pinto and Palominos as high as Reserve World Champions and many top 10 finishes. I currently hold judges cards in the Palomino and Pinto breeds. I am married and have 2 boys, Michael who is 7 years old and Colton who is 4 and a stepdaughter Dallas who is 16.
The first year at the new training facility has been a good one. The horses all adjusted really well and the farm is a really happy, relaxed environment for them and for me. My clients and I had a very successful 2010 show season. Check out my Training page and The Gallery for updates on where we are and how we're doing. As I had hoped, with a lower amount of horses to oversee, I have more time to devote to each horse and their owner. It has been really great to get my business back to the size I can oversee myself and spend the time with the horses that I was missing out on for awhile. My training program is stronger than ever, I have some really nice horses for the 2011 show season. Stay updated at my Calendar to follow where we are showing and where I am judging.
