PB Performance Horses

I can confidently say that PB Performance Horses is second to none when it comes to a program that places equal emphasis on developing their students as riders both physically and mentally! Payton has created a program based on the “whole picture” in the sport of barrel racing and her execution is flawless. My daughter has ridden over the years with several local trainers so when it comes to drawing comparisons, I can tell you that based on experience, there truly is no one better! Also the family of riders and parents that make up the PB Performance Horses community are some of the most supportive families around, who show up consistently to support every single rider as if they were their own child or best friend! The added bonus with her program is two fold: if your child is looking for something less competitive, both of her trainers (Sofia & Maddie) will lead the way and build the confidence and riding foundation in your child that will serve them for years to come. Secondly, Payton is a trainer who actually DOES the work herself right there with you. She competes alongside you, cheers you on, and puts in just as much work with her horses as she expects from you. Bottom line- she’s not just a trainer who sits and delegates. She is a wildly successful and inspirational rider herself with incredible accolades and as a human being, there’s nobody else we’d rather have as a role model for our daughter! Look no further than PB Performance Horses; it’s a choice you won’t regret.

We absolutely love PB Performance Horses! My daughter has been riding with Payton for a little over two years, and while she had previous riding experience, it was through Payton’s guidance that she truly began to grow and gain confidence. Payton and her staff are not only passionate, dedicated horse owners, but also phenomenal riders with proven records and accomplishments that reflect their deep expertise. The entire PB Performance Horses team is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, kind, and supportive, creating an environment where riders feel encouraged to reach their full potential. Whether you are looking to advance your skills or just beginning your riding journey, I highly recommend reaching out to PB Performance Horses. They are truly exceptional!

After working with many different trainers over the years, I can confidently say that PB Performance Horses stands out from the rest. Having a broad range of experiences to compare them to, the quality of care and depth of knowledge stands out. What sets this program apart is the holistic approach. The lesson horses are in incredible health and receive impeccable care, which is a huge indicator of a trainer's integrity. Whether you are looking for high-quality instruction, trail rides, an introduction to barrel racing, or the opportunity to attend frequent races, there is something for everyone. It’s also worth noting that Payton’s own riding experience is a massive asset; she isn’t just teaching it, she’s doing it at a high level. She remains relevant in the industry and is always seeking feedback to improve, which is a breath of fresh air. If you want a knowledgeable, experienced, and growth-oriented environment for yourself or your horse, look no further. I’m writing this from a parent perspective. My 10yo daughter is the rider.

We are so happy with PB Performance Horses. This truly is the place to be. Our daughter is so happy and loves it here. The amount of time, care, and dedication these trainers put into their students is incredible. Our 11 year old daughter has been training here for almost a year, and she has already competed in her first entry race. We couldn’t be happier here. They work with riders of all levels from beginner to intermediate to advanced and consistently demonstrate patience, support, and genuine care. They teach with high standards while remaining patient and encouraging, and the love they show each of their students truly makes a difference. Their experience and knowledge clearly reflect in their students. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at PB Performance Horses. Payton and the other trainers, Sofia and Maddie, are patient, knowledgeable, and truly care about both the rider and the horse. Since training here, I’ve seen tremendous growth in our daughter’s confidence, skills, and sense of responsibility. PB Performance Horses offers a positive, professional, and encouraging environment where riders are supported and pushed to be their best. I’m grateful for the impact this program has had on our daughter and couldn’t recommend PB Performance Horses more highly!

PB Performance Horses has been such an amazing experience for me, my family, and my filly. I sent her to Payton for barrel training and the progress was unreal—she came home more confident, more solid, and just so much better minded. Every ride feels intentional and truly goal-focused. As a jumper stepping into the barrel world, my riding improved just as much. Things finally started to click, and I gained confidence I didn’t even realize I was missing. Communication is always great—I was never left wondering how things were going. What I love most is the positive, supportive environment. It feels like a real community, not just a training program. I can’t recommend PB Performance Horses enough if you want someone who truly cares and helps you grow.

I cannot say enough great things about PB Performance Horses. The quality of training, care, and dedication shown to both horses and riders is outstanding. The atmosphere is welcoming, supportive, and focused on helping everyone reach their goals, no matter their experience level. A special thank you goes to Payton and Sofia for being such incredible trainers. Their patience, knowledge, and encouragement have made a huge difference in my wife’s riding journey. They genuinely care about their students and horses, always taking the time to teach, motivate, and build confidence. Their passion for what they do shines through every lesson and training session. PB Performance Horses is more than just a training program—it’s a place where riders can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am so grateful for everything Payton and Sofia have done, and I highly recommend PB Performance Horses to anyone looking for top-quality horse training and coaching.

This is our journey… My granddaughter expressed an interest in horses and I had no idea where to start. After a few lessons of introducing her to horses, her appetite grew. I called several places and I just instantly connected well with Payton. Her style is very comforting and kind. She’s always available to answer any questions especially for us new to the industry. But what I was impressed with even more is her staff, coaches, other parents and riders too! They are all amazing and are a great reflection of Payton. There is no pressure when it comes to a novice rider and their family but as my granddaughter is progressing, her want and need to be with all these beautiful horses and her coaches is rapidly growing. If you’re looking for a fun, peaceful environment, give PB Performance Horses a go! Payton’s team is growing and I’m so glad we locked in practices that work with my schedule. What a gem we were blessed with! 🫶🏼🐴❤️🏇
