Our Show Team

Hunters, Jumpers and Dressage

Where we show.

Our riders are taught a hunter and equitation foundation to increase rider decisions in the ring that are effective, smart, and safe. As our team continues to grow, so does our show calendar! ​We compete in the local Sierra Nevada Horse Show Association; a recognized affiliate organization with USHJA. Competing in California show circuits helps our riders to prepare for the chance to be nominated for USHJA National's at the end of the year!

Greg Gilbert


Born and raised in the Reno area, Greg has created connections in the horseman community that impacted his passion for starting quality versatile horses. His background in moving and working cattle on the BLM in Nevada is the foundation of his desire to start horses that are reliable and responsive under saddle. Greg utilizes groundwork practices that engages the horse's mind in order to build the horse's understanding of respect, expectations, and patience. As a part of our team Greg works with young horses, horses in training, and teaching our riders practical horsemanship ground skills. In his spare time Greg raises a small herd of Angus cattle on his property. He is always accompanied by his side-kicks Roxy, Hailey and Harley, who are his long time trusted border collies!
