Justin Michels is a nationally accomplished trainer and showman himself in multiple arenas from reining and roping to pleasure horses. His awareness and understanding of equine psychology and communication along with what it mentally and physically takes for a horse to succeed in and out of the arena is what he’s dedicated his life to. 

Having been engulfed in pedigree analysis since they were young,  along with the advantage of working directly with the bloodlines studied, provides an edge when it comes to picking up on desirable and undesirable traits when scouting a purchase or matching a client with a horse or a horse to a specific discipline.
