North Texas Premier Stallion Station
Built on a commitment to our stallions, our mares, and every family we stand behind — from conception to the winner's circle.
A partnership built on the ride.
Josh and Kelsey Crawley purchased the ranch and breeding business in August of 2021. Between them they bring decades of competition, training, and mare-management experience — and a shared belief that the best stallion stations are run by people who have spent a lifetime in the saddle.
Josh Crawley
Head Trainer · Crawley Performance HorsesJosh started riding reining horses in 2004 with Casey Deary, earning multiple youth world championships before deciding to pursue training full time. He worked as an assistant trainer from 2009 to 2017 under Don Boyd, Gunny Mathison, and Casey Hinton, and has been training professionally since 2009.
Over the years Josh has made countless major event finals, including the NRHA Futurity, Derby, and NRBC. His titles include 2017 NRHA Futurity Open Lvl 1 Reserve Champion, 2018 USEF National Champion, and 2020 HRRC Futurity Reserve Lvl 2. Alongside training aged event horses, he offers 2-year-old training, sale prep, and non-pro coaching.
Kelsey Crawley
Breeding & Ranch ManagerKelsey worked for Casey and Kathy Hinton as their breeding and ranch manager for ten years before she and Josh bought the ranch and breeding business in August of 2021. With her degree in Equine Business and years of hands-on experience, she now passes that knowledge along to future generations.
She has ridden her whole life and competed in nearly every event imaginable. After meeting Josh in 2008 she added reining to the list — including Reserve in the Lvl 1 Non Pro Derby at the 2020 HRRC, Reserve in the 2017 Lvl 4 One Hot Reining Non Pro Futurity, and Champion of the Lvl 4 One Hot Reining Non Pro Futurity in 2022.
The people behind every foal.
Cedar Ridge runs on the same principle that built it: surround yourself with horsepeople who take the work personally. Every member of our team shares a lifetime in the industry — and a direct hand in the success of every mare and stallion on the ranch.
