Bryce BakerBryce started riding Quarter horses in fifth grade. He learned how to start colts and all around horsemanship from TLC Quarter Horses the foundation of his training came from Maryann Ferrero. Not only did she teach Bryce A to Z about horses, but truly how to love and respect them. He then also worked for Oswood Stallion Station before they moved to Texas; learning the breeding side of the equine industry and total herd health. After Oswood's Bryce worked for Dilday Ranch riding working cow horses; that was a great experience developing him as a rider and being able to learn general horsemanship. The finishing touch was working for 'Ron Bechtel Training Center.' From starting Arabian horses Ron taught Bryce the finishing show techniques to really polish your show horses headsets and movement. Working with big horses has really given Bryce the knowledge and finesse it takes to work with these miniature horses to make them champions.

Ivy TempletonHorses have always been a big part of my life. I grew up in Virginia riding English and as a child, I showed hunter ponies. As an adult, I switched to the western disciplines and even tried my hand at roping and cutting. I moved to Texas in 2001 and purchased a small horse property. I needed a companion for my quarter horse mare and bought my first pony. Little did I know that pony would lead to several more ponies and miniature horses. I became an AMHR/ASPC member in 2008 and enjoyed many wonderful years competing in amateur halter. A few years ago, I transitioned into combined driving when a good friend bought several gypsy vanner horses and we started working with a driving trainer. Today I serve as vice-president of the Oklahoma Harness Horse Association and compete in the training pony division at combined driving events.

Kristina BostKristina is the assistant trainer at Cross Country Farms, home of B&B Training Center, for the last 5 years.
She has done a little bit of it all with horses since she was a child. She fell in love with clipping and doing facials because of the change in looks it brings to the horse. She loves figuring out tricks to accentuate a horses natural beauty! There's something very satisfying with seeing a hairy animal at the start and ending with a sleek, refined, and shiny animal at the end. |
