Our Story

I've been around horses all of my life. From learning how to ride my first pony at my childhood home in Pennsylvania, to starting colts outside in my early teens, into a 30 plus year career as a farrier. In that time, I have ridden, trained, trimmed, or otherwise been around just about every stage, and type of horse imaginable.

 

I ventured west in 1985, intent on pursuing my dream of working with horses. That took on many forms over the years. I attended South Dakota State University, and began my professional rodeo career as a bronc rider, which lasted  about 10 years. Additionally, I worked various ranches and feedlots, and always wound up being the horse guy.

 

After starting upwards of 1,200 colts, I believe I know that the best way to help horses is to help people understand them better. I like to say that I have survived my own stupidity, and learned from it. Now my passion is to pass on the lessons I has learned the hard way and make life a little better and easier for all of the horses and horsemen that I can.
