JAUNI BADGER
 Senior Consultant

Jauni Badger has been an equine enthusiast for over forty years and trained professionally for 25 years. She says it is hard to remember a time when she couldn't ride a horse. It was just natural for her. She spent her youth riding and competing in horse shows and barrel races. She grew up the girl all the neighbors hired to exercise and care for their horses. After several years in retail management, while still training horses part time, she took the plunge and left her job to train horses full time…and never looked back. Jauni's experience at the professional level is that of a true horse man, or horse woman in this case. She handles it all with honesty and integrity. Her area of expertise are sales, breeding, training trail and show horses with emphasis on halter and breeding. She has guided several owners and their horses to year end championships, Futurity winners, money earners and World champions. Including 2008 World Champion ABRA stallion Supa High Noon. In conjunction with these activities, she has always seen herself primarily as a trainer, training her own stock and training winning horses professionally for others. It amounts to 25 years of effort, experience and gratifying success. Now Jauni is staying closer to home and taking in a limited number of outside horses for training. In addition she still operates a full service reproductive facility and brokers horses locally, nationally, and internationally. Jauni is supercharged and ready to assist you with your next purchase whether for a companion horse, or next world caliber show horse.

Clayton Price has over 35 years of daily hands on experience with horses. His father has owned and operated a riding stable as well as a breeding, training, and equine sales business in the Norco, California area for over 50 years. During the years of growing up on his father’s ranch he took the time to perfect the different training he obtained in the equine dentistry and horseshoeing trades, as well as the opportunity to handle and train several hundred different horses each with their own distinct personalities. It was there that he learned his two most valuable training tools, patience and positive reinforcement. At the age of 4, Clayton started riding. By age 8 he won his first junior rodeo and landed a role in the Disney movie Mystery of Rustlers’ Cave. Since then he has won several State and Regional titles in Professional Rodeo and has worked in many movies in the entertainment industry as an actor, stunt person and personal riding instructor for a multitude of different stars throughout the years. Following in his fathers’ footsteps, Clayton moved on to start up his own boarding and breeding facility and has offered lessons for various disciplines in riding. He also provides in depth training of various breeds of horses. Attending both Pierce College and Cal Poly State University, after graduation, Clayton became an instructor as well as the rodeo coach for Cal Poly, leading the team to many state championships. He also became EAP Level 1 certified by EAGALA in 2001. Having seen first hand through the years of the effects of young people and the benefits of their relationships with horses, whether it was helping the children in the Special Rodeo Olympics or giving riding lessons to abused children through state funded programs – Clayton has noticed a positive response between human and horse behavior and has always been fascinated with Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. Clayton looks forward to helping you make your next purchase a positive experience that will last for many years.
