Training Program

Fingland Stables is proud to welcome Chris Ferguson as our new head trainer. Born and raised in the Canadian Rockies, Chris spent his early years ski jumping with the Canadian National Team. Chris' natural athletic ability has allowed him to become one of the reining horse industry's top young talents.

Chris has worked with some of the best horsemen in the world, such as Cecil Papke, Gord Hester, Karen Jarvise and AQHA Hall of Fame member Jack Kyle. Additionally, Chris is quick to say that Dell Hendricks played an important role in his success.

Throughout the US and Canada, Chris has earned a reputation as a horse trainer with extraordinary ability and integrity. This makes him the ideal head trainer for Fingland Stables as he shares our belief that striving to do the right thing will lead to long-term success.

Our training program is now accepting a limited number of select horses. We commit to those who entrust their horses to us, that we will treat you with the same fairness and integrity we would desire for ourselves. This commitment to a customer first philosophy, combined with the dedication of our staff and quality of our facilities makes Fingland Stables an ideal choice for training your next reining champion. For more information, please contact Chris Ferguson at (417) 761-9525.
