Chris, (our son-in-law) specializes in starting colts or correcting problems horses might have for people who can't do it themselves. Caren, his wife, and Chris are both on Level 3 of Pat Parelli's Program and Chris has taken the Colt Starting Class, too.

He has been going to Japan for the last 6 years during the fall to help Hiata Farms start 2 year old thoroughbreds for the racetrack-- 150 each year!

So he is quite experienced at this. He has started colts for Tim McQuay, Pete Kyle, and Bobby Harrison.

Chris also trains horses for show in reining, cutting and other performance classes. He has been riding and training since childhood,-- was a jockey as a teenager and then entered the rodeo circuit in bull riding, bronc riding, roping and bareback riding. Now he is experienced in many areas of horsemanship.
