CHAD
Chad has always had a passion for the horse industry. From the beginning, whether it was trail riding or later showing in the reined cow horse events, there has always been a drive to put the horse first and create the best partner possible. Later in life Chad had the opportunity to move to Wyoming and work for Ken McNabb. During this time Chads colt starting program started to take shape with much of Kens influence. Chad considers much of his experiences with Ken McNabb to be the roots and foundation for his approach to training today. Over the years Chad has continued to work towards growing and gaining knowledge by working with renowned trainers Josh Lyons and Jesse Westfall. He also spent a few years showing Reining with Jesse Westfall. His goal and desires have always stayed the same since the beginning. Put the horse first, build the trust and bond the horse needs, and allow the horses natural abilities to shine.

She participated in the United States Pony Club from an early age, riding a wide variety of horses, and testing up in the C levels. Being involved with Pony Club she had the opportunity to learn, ride, and show in the English world. She also had the opportunity to travel and ride with some very talented and knowledgeable horsemen and women. She traveled across the country with a trainer who was readying to compete for the Rolex equestrian show. When Christiana was 15 she spent the summer in Wyoming interning for Ken McNabb. After that summer she moved to Wyoming and continued to work for the McNabbs. She spent five years working for Ken McNabb Horsemanship going on the road with Ken to expos and various clinics around the country. Working in the office, she also learned many skills within the business aspects of a working ranch and horse training business through dealing with horse paperwork and running the social media and some marketing. Christiana has had the experience of training numerous horses, working with students, and was head wrangler for Ken on his mountain pack trips.
