Bill, Tina, Curtis, and Kaiya moved from Colorado to Gordonville in 1997. Bill and Tina started training for the public full-time in 1990, and breeding Quarter Horses in 1991.

Much of their beginning was with horses they purchased for themselves, including JBL Wish Me Luck, who later became a World Champion Western Riding Horse with Superiors both in Open and Amateur Pleasure.

In 1992, Bill and Tina made the purchase of Vested Pine, a yearling stud colt they spotted at Dan and Carol McWhirters, for Loel and Merla Sirovy. The following spring, under their tutelage, Vested Pine began his show career.

Along with JBL Wish Me Luck and Vested Pine, Bill and Tina bought and trained horses like Lotto Flash--who eventually became a Hall of Fame Inductee, and Ultra Asset, Jeremy Iron--Superior Hunter Under Saddle.  Their breeding program has produced horses like Vested Faith--also Hall of Fame Inductee, A Classy Pine--Reserve World Champion, Britney Pine--Multiple World and Congress Champion, Lopin So Pine--Reserve Congress Champion, and many more....and we haven't even mentioned all of our wonderful client horses that have become famous over the years...like Horse and RiderGood Luck Girl--2007 Masters Champion (owned by JR Reichert), Cutielicious-- 4th Reichert 2 yo 250,000, and so many more!!!

In 2007, Tina was inducted into the NSBA Hall of Fame for earning over $250,000.00 in NSBA earnings! 

Bill and Tina are also AQHA and NSBA carded judges, and have judged such shows as the Ohio Quarter Horse Congress and the Scottsdale Classic, and have judged all over the world!  Bill and Tina love to travel, and have had a wonderful time doing clinics for people in every country and Canada! 

In August 2009, Bill got to fulfill a long time dream, and joined the teaching staff at North Central Texas College, and is teaching and coaching their competition team.

Tina is still doing what she absolutely loves to do....Ride horses!!  The dynamics have changed, she is concentrating her efforts on a smaller number of high quality horses, and is absolutely hands on, directly involved with every horse.  If you have interest in sending  a horse for training, give her a call!  We always have horses for sale of every age and level of training, and if we don't have what you want, let us help you find it!  They welcome you to visit the ranch.  Just email a note here or walk in anytime!!
