An Open Rider at the age of 20, Jim’s unparalleled talent, tenacity, and adaptability in the show pen has been proven time and time again, often beating competitors with many more years of experience. There is no doubt that Jim is a trainer who can really “get a horse shown."
On the international stage, Jim can now say that many of those who were his idols are now his rivals. Always ready to learn from others, Jim has and continues to ride with some of the best trainers in the industry in order to further his knowledge year by year. This drive for success and knowledge is a large part of what brought him and his family to the Scottsdale area.
Jim expects a very high standard of performance from himself and his horses and has timing and balance that many will never achieve. This uncanny ability has allowed him to rise quickly and consistently over the years to become one of the top Reining trainers in Western Canada. He didn’t end up at this level of excellence by accident. Since his start in the Porcupine Hills of Southern Alberta, he has taken everything taught to him and elevated it to the next level to move himself and his horses up through the industry quickly. Often, Jim can tease out a level of ability from a horse that others are not able to find.
Jim has grown a huge international following by consistently sharing quality content on social media and he's developed a stellar online training program for those who can't make it to the barn. In this way he strives to reach more people with the best knowledge available.
Jim and his family are approachable and family oriented with a focus on quality rather than quantity. The barn boasts a family atmosphere where everyone is welcome.
Regionally, in Western Canada and the United States, Jim has made a significant impact on the Reining horse industry and has multiple Canadian Futurity and Derby Championships.
Jim has grown a significant international following through social media and has developed a stellar online training program that, as of publication, has sold in 38 countries world wide.
A featured Reining Coach at Horsepro.TV and host of many Power Clinics which are attended by international guests from all over the world.
