Computer Crashes
It has been a long week, but I am slowly getting things back to some sort of normalcy!  If you do not have a back up system on your computer I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!  I don't know what I would of done if mine wasn't backed up.  There is still the time consuming task of reloading all files and software, but each day I make a little more progress!

HOUGH TRAINING CENTER  Richard started riding horses when he was about four or five. He had is first horse when he was seven and trained his first horse at age ten. Throughout his younger years he rode for other people as well as cowboy'd for the local ranchers. After graduating highschool he worked full time job and started fulfilling his dream of breeding and raising horses. He worked his way up to owning about 50 head of horses. He bred horses and trained the colts to sell for about ten years. He then sold all the broodmares and studs to focus on training. He has trained everything from a great trail horse to a top notch show horse including working cow horses. He moved to Western Wa in 2004 in hopes of having his own training facility which he now owns and operates in Yelm, Wa.
