Emily Lakey
Bio:
My name is Emily Lakey, and I currently live with my family on a 17-acre horse farm known as Half Creek Farm in Maryville Tennessee. My dad grew up with horses and shared his love with me. I was taught how to ride on a 17 year old Quarter Horse named Lincoln Forest(Bo) as soon as I could sit. Working with this horse throughout my younger youth made me realize I want to go further into training horses. When I was just 9, I got my first untouched Mustang to train and rehome. Since then, I have gone to compete in several Mustang competitions, all placing high! Just this past summer, I applied for the AQHA Young Horse Development Program. This program is a 10 month long educational journey where you work hands-on with professional trainers with your own yearling. My yearlings name is EL Pepto's Lil Chip, who I call Cinnamon and is my current ongoing project! Throughout my training experience, Quality Horse Training Gear has been there for me, and I can't believe I'm now a part of the team.
