Bill has
served as head trainer for Paxton Quarter Horses, Crawford
Farms, and Fares Ranch. In 1989 he bought land near Ringling,
Oklahoma and built his own facility.
Former assistant trainers read
like a who’s who of cutting;
Paul
Hansma, Bar H Ranch; Guy Woods, EE Ranches; Steve Oehlhof, Center
Ranches; Jeanine Koehler, equine health care specialist; Mark Mills
and many others.
 Married to Anne, the
couple have three daughters,
Liz, Kelly, and Havey. Anne directs and manages the office. She successfully
competed in the Non-Professional Class, winning a go round at the NCHA World
Championship Futurity in 1987. She was the Super Stakes Semi Finals winner
on Clarks Little Fanny in 1988.
A serious accident sidelined her from any more riding. Kelly and
granddaughter, Ali, live on the ranch where Kelly oversees the conditioning
of all the horses in training. She competes in the Non-Professional class
primarily at major aged events. Ali, now eight years old, has been showing
in NCHA Youth Classes since she’s been four and a half. Havey is an
operations manager for Sherwin Williams Paint Co. and does not work on the
ranch. She does compete in the
Non-Professional class in aged events and at week-end shows whenever
possible. Liz lives and works as a
paralegal in Dallas and has no
interest in the horses.
