We have both been training horses for many years. We have been training mountain horses together since 2006. In 2008, we established our own Mountain Horse training business. We provide training in many disciplines. Our clients have been successful in conformation and under saddle competition. We train horses and teach our clients to work with their own horses as they progress through their training. We meet our clients in the winner's circle on a regular basis. We are now working out of Echo Valley Stables, 3438 Snow Creek Road, Clay City, KY.

This barn is the closest mountain horse training facility to the Kentucky Equestrian Center and the United Mountain Horse office. If you are in the area and would like to see our horses or barn, give us a call. We always welcome visitors.
