Ashley Deweber
BIO:
Growing up in a rural area and now living on a cattle ranch in Deer Creek, Texas, agriculture and horses have always held a special place in Ashley Deweber’s heart.
Ashley attended Tarleton State University where she received a Bachelor’s in Science in Agriculture and Economics as well as a Master in Business Administration. Ashley has also earned a teaching certificate in early childhood education.
Shortly after college, Ashley married her husband, Oat, and they now have three daughters. She has watched Oat break and train horses for years as well as compete in the Mustang Makeover where her passion for mustangs was also ignited. Ashley is a firm believer that given enough dedication and care, every mustang has a lot to offer and can teach the trainer as well as those who are associated with the experience.
Aside from horses, another family endeavor is their building business, Premier of West Texas. Spread throughout West Texas they serve the vast area with metal and portable buildings.
Ashley thanks God for all His many blessings He has bestowed on her and my family and looks forward to what He will bring into her life next.

Krystal Cates
BIO:
I’m born and raised here in Texas, I’ve been crazy about horses since the moment I could walk . I got my first pony at the age of three, and I’ve had a horse ever since. In 2005 on a trip down to Mexico I decided I needed to make a difference for all the horses in need. I establish a nonprofit horse rescue that has been thriving and rescuing more than equines for the last 17 years. I dedicate my time to rescuing rehabilitating and retraining rescue horses as well as mustangs at my home here in Texas as well .

I have been riding since I was 2 years old and over the last 16 years I've ridden and trained in many disciplines from dressage to barrel racing and almost everything in between. I own EK Horsemanship and mostly gentle and train mustangs but also take on private clients all with kinds of different needs. I train through natural Horsemanship using R+ to produce horses that are happy and willing to make sure they are set for their journey in life.

Kaiden Audy
BIO:
I grew up competing on the local 4-H circuit, where I competed in western pleasure, gymkhana, and showmanship. Since then I've been focusing on ranch riding and reining with my three year-old mustang gelding, BH Out Like A Light 'Nox'. I adopted Nox two years ago after competing with him in the NJ Youth Mustang Makeover, and have since gentled four other mustangs, between competitions/personal projects and will soon be picking up my 5th. I am a huge advocate for the mustang breed and have fallen in love with training, and hope to continue training horses and gentling mustangs for years to come. This year my gelding and I will be diving headfirst into the ECCRA ranch riding circuit, as well as competing in hand with my local high school team. While we do compete and train traditionally, Nox also has extensive trick and liberty training. I do my best to train well-rounded horses and will be spending this summer training my second personal horse, BH Granny's Recipe for Disaster 'Kaz'.
