Rusty Dare - Trainer

Rusty grew up in Quinton, New Jersey along with his two brothers Rocky and Randy training and showing horses with mom and dad, Jack and Laird Dare. Fifteen minutes from the Delaware Memorial Bridge on sixty-eight acres called Breezy Knoll Farms the Dare brothers broke and trained horses.
Beginning as a youth competitor winning multiple all around championships at major shows including the Quarter Horse Congress, he found reining to be his favorite event. His two and half year apprenticeship with the prominent reining horse trainer Bill Horn added to his skills in reining. After an extremely successful career showing and training horses for western pleasure snaffle bit events, he decided to focus totally on reining.
We are excited Rusty has chosen to train reining horses for the Babcock Ranch and look forward to even more success in the show pen. His ability and talent riding some of the best bred horses in the industry ensures great opportunities now and success in the future.
