Naike Bell has spent over 3 decades riding horses and pursing her love of the sport, at first riding English when she was just 6 years old. Today, with impressive World & Champion titles under her belt (and on her belt buckles!), she trains with her husband at Brian Bell Performance Horses, starting 2 year olds and molding them into reining champions, specializing in Open and Non Pro training and sales.  She’s dedicated to elevating the sport and putting the horse first. And we’re proud she always does it in Ride Southerly show shirts. 

When your first word as a baby is “horse”, destiny is calling. Robyn Thomas, who holds Multiple NCHA championships and an ARHA Ranch Cutting World Championship, is a lifelong horse gal. At a young age she worked at a neighbor’s barn. That neighbor owned cutting horses, so it was no surprise cutting became her discipline of choice and led her to create DoubleCT Performance Horses, training horses and teaching clients that have qualified for Nationals, and have several ARHA world and reserve championships, as well as numerous class championships in both AQHA & NCHA shows. Specializing in 2 year olds, Futurity, Derby, reining and cutting horses, Robyn and her partner offer lessons for all levels of riders. Robyn wears our button up version to comply with NCHA rules, and likes a little strategically placed sparkle.

Growing up on a ranch in Idaho made Dee Dee’s life choice to train horses seem inevitable. But it takes more than a childhood among horses to become a celebrated trainer of western all around horses and actually make a living doing it. Now based in Poolesville, Maryland, Dee Dee trains with patience and fairness, molding champion show horses that are happy, relaxed and successful all around performance horses for their owners.

Dee Dee favors designs and colors that compliment a variety of horse colors as she shows her client's horses. She likes embellishments that enhance, rather than detract from her quiet riding style.

A lifelong passion for horses drives Kyra Graycheck to continually improve her horsemanship. As the mother of a young daughter and the wife of trainer, Stephen Graycheck of Graycheck Performance Horses, she knows firsthand how to pitch in no matter what the day brings.

It’s that attitude and grit that helped make her a World Champion in the ARHA Amateur Working Ranch Horse class two years ago, while she was pregnant with their first child. Throughout her lifetime, she has shown western pleasure, ranch, and reining horses, appreciating the skills of the horse and honing the skills to ride each individual horse well.

Kyra favors designs that have impact without detracting from her ride. Unembellished for ranch classes and black on black when she rides reiners.
