North Texas Premier Stallion Station

Kristin's passion for horses started at age four and carried her through her college years, where she trained and competed at Centenary University under Andrea Wells and Tara Clausen while earning her Bachelor of Equine Sciences.

After an accident ended her riding career, Kristin transitioned into a product manager role at a high-end jewelry designer — translating design concepts into beautifully finished products. That same eye for detail and gift for organization now drives her work at Cedar Ridge, where she excels at bringing projects to life, whether that's a crafted jewelry design or helping mare owners achieve their goals through the birth of a live foal. Kristin resides in Whitesboro, TX with her husband, NRHA Professional Jeremy Gates, and their daughter.

Cherrish has spent most of her life riding, training, and breeding horses alongside her Papa in Montana. She owns her own broodmares and a breeding stud, building her foundation in the industry from a young age — starting with barrel horses and expanding into cow horses as a teenager.

After high school, Cherrish pursued nursing school but ultimately realized her passion was in the horse industry. In 2024 she moved to Weatherford, Texas, to immerse herself in a larger sector of the industry. A broken back required her to step away from training, and that challenge guided her back to her roots in breeding. Today, Cherrish is passionate about helping mare owners achieve their goals and takes great pride in watching foals grow and develop into successful horses.

Tommy has been involved with horses his entire life, beginning with showing pleasure horses through the local 4-H program in Montana and later expanding into raising, training, and competing hunter jumpers and eventing horses.

After high school he earned a bachelor's degree in marketing and spent time in Chile pursuing music. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, he returned to the States and committed fully to his equine career — including time with USA Olympic Eventer Jil Walton, where he developed a deep appreciation for the American Warmblood market and the accessibility of European bloodlines through frozen semen. In 2025 he joined The Breeders Assistant under David Riddle, an experience that sparked his interest in the stallion industry and ultimately brought him back to Texas.
