Our philosophy


"We train cowhorses to use their minds and become better working partners." Gary Stark

A horse that is trained as a cow horse has the foundation to do anything--reining, cutting, or become a nice using horse, according to Stark. This foundation creates a horse that you can then take in any direction.


Gary Stark studied horse training from the men who developed natural horsemanship — his dad Stan Stark, Ray Hunt, Tom and Bill Dorrance. He worked with Brian Nubert and Charlie Van Norman. Stark has been training working cow horses for 40 years.


Gary helps owners understand how their horse works so they can develop a better relationship with their horse.


His services are based on the belief that the customers' needs are of the utmost importance. Gary Stark is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of his business is from repeat customers and referrals.

Along with training horses, he also has lesson horses available for beginners to start learning on if they have not made that all so important purchase yet. This gives the beginner a chance to decide on which type of a horse, rein cow horse, cutting horse, or just a great broke horse, they might wish to purchase.
