Richie is a forward-thinking trainer, continually striving to be at the forefront of industry standards and the ever-changing needs of the horse riding and training community. One of his strengths is working with gaited horses such as Paso Finos and Rocky Mountain horses, but reining horses, performance horses, trail and obstacle horses and riders, and extreme cowboy racing horses and riders are all a great fit for one of his clinics. Richie has established himself and his business through his dedication to meeting his client’s needs over a variety of disciplines. 

Richie has a natural ability to relate to his audience and clients, helping to put them at ease no matter their level of horsemanship, riding and training. He is crowd and client favorite! Richie’s hope is to see his clients and their horses reach their dreams and achieve the goals they have set, and then to encourage and inspire them to set new, exciting goals that they work towards, together. His ability to break his conditioned-response training method down into individualized steps makes him a truly versatile trainer for all levels and disciplines.
