I have been a lifelong fan of the Morgan Horse, buying my first Morgan at age 15. Since that time, I have been immersed in the breed as an owner, professional  trainer, breeder, and judge. Our farm, Cedar Spring, produced countless World, National, Regional and Local champion horses and riders. I have been actively involved with multiple organizations and a longtime member of USEF, AMHA, UPHA (serving as Chapter 14 chairman), ASHA, and AHHA. I have conducted numerous clinics on training and equitation and contributed articles to The Morgan Horse magazine. I am a 40-year USEF registered judge with assignments everywhere in the US, Canada and England, including the Morgan Grand National. Recently retired from active training, it is a great honor to adjudicate this year’s Morgan Grand National.
