Will Abel began his riding career at the age of 10 and quickly advanced through the levels in both riding and horsemanship. He started showing on the local AQHA American Quarter Horse circuits and branched out to NRHA National Reining Horse Association, APHA American Paint Horse Association, PtHA Pinto Horse Assocation, and IEA Interscholastic Equestrian Association, throughout high school. A couple of Will’s biggest accomplishments were placing in the top ten and top 15 in the Varsity Open Reining at the IEA Nationals in 2016 and 2017. As Will’s horse-showing career progressed, showing the all-around became Will’s biggest passion, as he could exhibit the plethora of skills he had acquired throughout the years.
Will started training professionally in October of 2017. From then on he has found a love for colt-starting, from in hand to Western Pleasure, Trail, Horsemanship, Showmanship, Western Riding and now he also offers the Ranch Riding classes. Will also has a love for the Hunter Under Saddle, Equitation divisions. Coaching his clients to multiple regional titles with APHA, and bringing his clients from the ground up in a way that allows them to flourish in and out of the show pen.
