Josh CrawleyProfessional reining horse training, colt starting, sale prep, and non-pro coaching — backed by a lifetime in the saddle and mentorship from some of the sport's most respected names.
Josh Crawley.
Josh started riding reining horses in 2004 as a youth under Casey Deary, where he collected multiple world championships before deciding to chase the dream of training professionally.
From 2009 through 2017, Josh worked as an assistant trainer alongside some of the sport's most decorated names — Don Boyd, Gunny Mathison, and Casey Hinton — sharpening every skill needed to build a reining horse from the ground up.
Today, Josh leads Crawley Performance Horses out of Cedar Ridge Stallion Station, with his wife Kelsey alongside him, bringing two decades of riding, teaching, and training to every horse that comes through the program.
A finalist at every major event.
