Showing Philosophy
Doug has structured his business so that he may be selective in the number and caliber of venues he shows in. This allows him to spend more time in the training barn while still remaining competitive for year end awards and accomplishments. He believes showing is a test that can not be passed without the proper preparation at home. Doug and his team of youth and Non-Pros have stayed active throughout the show seasons exhibiting their horses in a wide range of venues including Gordyville, the Illinois State Fair, the All American Quarter Horse Congress, and the AQHA Youth World Show in Ft. Worth. See below for a complete listing of shows and activities Doug will be attending during the current show season.
