Staci has been riding, showing and training horses her entire life. She was born
into a family who owned Arabian show horses and she began riding at the age of
2. Staci first gained National recognition at the age of 16 showing her Arabian
mare Amada Padrona. It is no wonder that her father nicknamed her “Superstar” at
the age of 3. Her teenage years were full of responsibilities that both
exemplified and continued to build her outstanding character. While balancing
high school and her show career she also managed and operated a training and
breeding facility of 45 horses. Staci continued to manage her stable, her
breeding program and train horses all while building on her show career. She has shown successfully
and won
many Championships in Saddle Seat, Equitation, Western Pleasure and Halter
throughout the years.
Staci now trains, shows and gives clinics with her husband Bruce. Like Bruce, Staci has a love for all breeds and a talent for all disciplines. She is truly a born horsewoman. Staci has won several Championships over the years and continues to grow her vast resume of accomplishments. She is still a multi-tasking “Superstar” who works with the horses, shows, conducts the youth program and clinics with Bruce and manages the business of the farm all the while being a devoted wife and mother to her husband and their 5 children.
