How I got started: In 2008 I took out a loan for $20K to buy a High Brow Cat yearling filly then looked over every fence I could, to work out how to train her.

Biggest mistake I’ve made in cutting: Should have read the rule book, might have saved me practicing each mistake.

Biggest myth about cutting: That cutting horses are not broke.

Favorite quote: “You win or lose the day you buy them.” – Bob Avila

Most memorable moment in cutting: Watching the 5/6 yr old final of the Super Stakes on our first trip to Texas in 2003. It was my first eye opener to this level of cutting.

Training Philosophy: The mind controls the body.
