About Us

We are a family-owned and operated stable located near Rochester, Minnesota.

Tom and Terry both attended UW-River Falls and graduated from the horse program, taught by Larry Kasten and based on Ray Hunt’s training techniques. They bought the property from the legendary Jack Brainard in 1985, and built everything themselves.

Tom is an accomplished horseman in the National Reining Horse Association, and the National Reined Cow Horse Association, including an NRHA trophy Futurity saddle, Morrison bronze trophy, several buckles, and world championship show qualifications. He has also coached both his daughters to great successes in the NRHA and other endeavors.

Terry grew up showing POAs, and is now a wonderful riding instructor and horse show judge, holding cards in POA, 4H, WHC, NRCHA, Hunter/Jumper, and Mules/Donkeys. She always says that her greatest accomplishments are her daughters and her students.

Their oldest daughter Helen Horn attended South Dakota State University and competed on their NCAA Equestrian team. She has had a very successful show career, including 3 Top-Ten world titles in the NRHA and the Jackrabbit Impact award from SDSU. After college she spent a few years working in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado, including Black Mountain Colorado Dude Ranch and packing mules for an elk outfitter. She now lives in McCoy, CO with her husband Nathan on his family’s cattle ranch, where they are raising their daughters to love horses as well.

Tom & Terry’s youngest daughter Holly has also had a very successful show career, including 2 Top-Ten world titles in the NRHA, won the Horsemanship at the MN 4H State Fair on the colt she trained herself, and the following year was in the top ten in each of her classes on the same horse. Holly graduated from the University of Minnesota – Rochester in Mayo School of Health Science. She is now married, working for the Mayo Clinic in Rochester specializing in radiographic technology, and helping out at the stable.
