Poplin Performance Horses

Poplin Performance Horses Located in Western Colorado, my wife, Becky and I have been devoted to the performance horse industry for over 30 years.

We train Futurity and Derby prospects, enduring a solid foundation so they remain competitive as Open or Non-pro horses for many years. Teaching/coaching non-pro riders is a large part of our program. We strive to help every horse and rider attain their full potential. Becky and I don't believe that competition and winning are the only measures of success in an equine program. But we do believe that our accomplishments demonstrate our commitment to excellence and add credibility to the success of our program. Browse our page to view the top performing stallions at our barn; read about our training program that ensures your prospects reach their full potential; learn more about our excellent breeding services to either stand your stallion with us or have your mare cared for here at the ranch; schedule a reining clinic in your area and check out what we've been up to, where we've been and upcoming events! We're passionate about every aspect of the reining horse world. Contact us to join the fun and excitement!
