Reviews:
Thanks to McKoy, I took my horse Journey to the next level. When I told McKoy that I did not have a “show horse”, he responded with, “let’s create one.” Last year, my barn raised 3 year old and McKoy won one of her first junior reining classes. I was able to get back to showing after a long hiatus. My mare now has a solid foundation, is dependable and has a willing attitude not to mention a proven record. My horses trained by McKoy have been tested, exposed in all areas from arena to trails and are versatile to become successful in any direction or discipline that I choose to take them. Thank you McKoy for a memorable 2022. -Kelsie Backus
McKoy trained two horses for me and is very skilled in his craft. Further, he was absolutely honest in all of our communication and money matters. I highly recommend him. -Robin Follett
I don’t send a lot of horses to outside trainers. We sent a mare to Christiansen Performance Horses last spring and have been pleased with the results. McKoy puts a nice quiet handle on them and sets them up for a successful career in any discipline. McKoy is a true horseman through and through. - Larsen Perkins
I love my horse started and trained by McKoy. McKoy was gentle but firm. He showed a willingness to try something different when my horse was being difficult instead of forcing it into him. I am happy with the results. -Bailer Backus
