About Us and Our Horses....

ACE Ranch was bought in July 2006. Horses are our passion and we thought the ranch made the perfect home to develop our herd and business.

I started riding when I was about 2 1/2 yr old with my pony Scooter. At age 8 I got my first horse and did the switch from western to English. From there I showed in dressage and hunters. At age 13 I started teaching and training for outside clients. I continued to show in dressage, hunters, hacks, and jumpers. In college I started to rodeo a bit and enjoyed that. But quickly returned to the English ring when I moved home, I worked for Dorsch Farms for a short period in 2002 and then started back into teaching & training for myself.

That was the summer I met Arliss. Arliss is a team roper (heading & heeling), a very talented horseman and a full time Journeyman Electrician. He started riding as a young child and started training horses in his teens. Arliss likes to work with horses but does not agree with the typical 30 day training program.

We really enjoy working around the ranch together. We put a good handle on our horses and feel our need for perfection in our finished horses is well respected.

Gus - Grade Gelding

Gus is Arliss's main heel horse and the go to guy for when something needs to be done or you just feel like going for a nice relaxing ride.

Arliss bought Gus when he was a 4 yr old. Gus is also used for lessons and for the last 7 years and taught many kids how to ride!

Gus has a long life still ahead of him at 17 years old he is bright eyed and sound as can be.
