2009
is coming to an end, it’s been a great year and we still have
a couple more shows to finish up with. RPH moved to a new
facility this summer where we have more room and a wonderful
facility to train out of. Everyone at RPH did really well at the
shows this year, everyone worked hard and it paid off. We are
all getting geared up for the 2010 show season and hope to have
a great line up of shows to attend.
The young prospects are getting broker and ready to start
their show careers next year! Thanks to all the clients and
friends that have made this such a wonderful year for RPH!

At
age10 Amber starting showing Quarter Horses in Western Pleasure,
Hunter Under Saddle, Horsemanship, Trail and Showmanship and was
instantly hooked to this challenging sport and knew at an early
age that training horses was what she wanted to do. “My first
show horse I’m Good N Easy helped me achieve many top placings
and taught me so much. I rode every horse that I could, whether
we owned it or someone was willing to give me a leg up on
theirs. I started all of our own personal babies and had a
passion for teaching young horses early on”. While still in
school, when not showing her Quarter Horse all over the country
she worked for a local cutting trainer in Elgin, TX, starting 2
yr olds and helped in the cutting pen. “It was hard to keep me
out of a saddle; I even kept my show saddle in my room and sat
in it to watch TV and do homework”. Any chance possible either
at shows or on school breaks she worked for the trainers that
coached her the last couple years as a youth. Attending shows
such as the All American Quarter Horse Congress to Arizona Sun
Circuit to Florida Gold/Gulf Coast, Texas Classic, Red Bud and
Big A Circuit. Upon graduating she went to work full time for
Lee Paul Shinn and Mason Lyon where she started young horses and
helped prepare the youth and amateur horses for the all around
events. Her passion is with western pleasure so after going out
on her own to train Amber still continues her growing education
by riding with some of the industry’s finest Western Pleasure
trainers.
Amber

There
is a wonderful support system that helps make up this great
team. Denise Lackey, Amber’s mom makes show clothes for Amber
and her clients as well as riding and showing with her.
“It’s a great experience we get to share together. She is a
huge help traveling, setting up and tearing down at the horse
shows”. Amber’s husband Ash, can also be found at the
occasional horse show helping Amber get horses ready to go in
classes and helping put final touches as riders go in the gate.
All of the clients at RPH have a great relationship and have a
great time together at shows helping one another and being there
at the rail for support to the fellow show team.
