About Us

It began as a dream of a young man by the name of Chuck Hitchcock who, after a lifetime of being in the auto parts business with his father, turned his back on a thriving business to do what he always wanted to do, train horses. He was a horseman, by all definitions. He loved his work and began a lifetime of asscociation with local horse lovers and cattlemen. He learned how to train a cow horse.
