About US

We have been in the horse industry for over 25 years in many ways from exhibitor to trainer.  Naomi started in the Walking horse industry when she was a youth and had a very successful show career in all divisions and made many trips to the Celebration and other championships shows in Tennessee and up and down the west coast.  John originally started training QH in the midwest and then in the early 90’s started training Arabian horses for halter and western pleasure and driving.  In 2004 John moved to California and started showing miniature horses where he met Naomi at a show in Reno, NV.  They then began a very successful show career on the Miniature horse circuit with numerous National and Grand Champion wins in both in both halter and driving within both AMHA and AMHR.  Even though they had a very successful string of show miniatures both of them missed the big moving horses of their past.  So, in 2006 they started training and showing the American Shetland Pony.  2007 was thier first Shetland Congress they came home with some of the top wins including the Reserve Grand Classic Mare Over, Kahlua’s Perfect Label.
