Mark is a practical and patient trainer, accumulating a long list of honors in all professional levels of western horsemanship. He has trained and shown horses all over the United States in the NRCHA, NSHA, AQHA, ARHFA, USTRC, SHTX and many regional associations. He has also managed a long list of committed Non Pro and Amateur competitors who have achieved great successes under his guidance, including achieving several World Titles. His versatility provided his students with opportunities to refine and expand their skills on young horses as well as their seasoned show horses.

Mark has passed on all his knowledge as well as the torch to his incredibly accomplished and talented daughter LaRae who has already followed in her father’s footsteps with numerous titles of her own! LaRae appreciated the support of her Mom and Dad in taking over the family business in 2020. Her Mom, Shari, is an accomplished general contractor, also has an eye for talented prospects.

Consequently, LaRae is staying true to her mission as she strives to continue developing quality working performance horses. she strongly believes it takes a dedicated, talented team with similar goals and values to foster trust and build confidence in the horses and in her program. Because of this mindset, LaRae continues to rely on her Mom and Dad’s guidance into the future of the business based on satisfied repeat customers just like they have over the past 28 years.
