Family. Legacy. Horsemanship.
Meet The Team
Three generations of equine expertise, united by a shared love for horses and a commitment to helping every rider reach their potential.
Hayley Bloomquist
Western Training & Youth Programs
I'm Hayley Bloomquist, a lifelong horse trainer and equine professional with decades of experience in the industry. Raised in a multigenerational family of accomplished equine experts, I grew up in the barn watching my mother's successes in the show arena and learning horsemanship from birth.
This foundation has shaped me into a knowledgeable, intuitive, and results-driven trainer with a deep understanding of both horses and riders. I specialize in western horse training and provide riding lessons for all ages and skill levels, with a special passion for working with children — training kids from the ground up and watching them grow into confident, well-accomplished riders and young adults.
Over the years, I've trained and shown horses to championship titles, judged horse shows, and developed programs that emphasize trust, communication, and strong fundamentals. Beyond training and lessons, I've directed equine camps, events, and team-building programs. As a certified equine therapist, I support adolescents and adults in personal growth and well-being, and I work with local communities and non-profits, introducing inner-city kids to the world of horsemanship.
