Welcome to KR Training - Equine Matchmaker

Our goal is to find our horses a job and partner best suited to their abilities and personalities. We fully understand how difficult it is to find a quality horse at a reasonable price. Every equine in our program has been vetted, had a professional farrier appointment, and is up-to-date on routine care. Combined with professional training, our horses typically are matched with great homes within a short period of time.

What to expect when purchasing a horse from KR Training

Once a prospective Buyer has identified their horse, they should schedule a vet-check (if they so choose) with a veterinarian of their choice as soon as possible (within 7 days) and organize transportation of their horse for after the brand inspection to eliminate a delay in taking possession of their new family member.  KR Training will schedule the brand inspection and care for the horse until the brand inspection has been completed after which the horse is ‘officially’ sold and ready to be transported to their new home.

Papa J is a vital part of our daily operations. He keeps the property in order, manages the ranch dogs, cleans the stalls, fills water buckets, and brings horses inside in the evening. Papa J is the hardest working individual anyone has met.

What Our Clients Say

Great communication. Easy to work with. I have enjoyed every horse that has come from Kari.

    A.S.

    Kari is absolutely amazing to work with! I sold my mare and bought multiple horses with her. The whole buying/selling process was easy and straightforward. She was honest and transparent with me from the start.

      We love him already. Thank you for finding us the perfect unicorn!

        L.H-R.

        Everybody is a bit smitten over the new horse. Lady has joined the herd. All of the horses are just the sweetest animals. Thanks to @krtraining_equinematchmaker for making this match for Jake.

          J + A

          Kari has been so honest and easy to work with. She rehomed a bad fit for me to an amazing family that has kept in touch so I can see how well they are all doing together. Then found me my perfect partner, Daphne. She has been by my side with these horses, and I will always be grateful for her.
