Koelbl Ranch is a phenomenal boarding and training facility located in Whitesboro, Texas.

On an early July morning, Michael and Jillian Koelbl gave me the grand tour of their property (including an introduction to their spotted long horns) as I photographed them trail riding across the 400 acre ranch. Clay Hilderbrand (assistant trainer to Jarvis Anderson) worked his two AQHA reining mares Gottapleasethischic and Smart Little Walla, while Haley Paradis (assitant trainer to Gillespie Show Horses) rode her APHA barrel racing gelding Shawne Fly.

Just as a huge thunderstorm rolled in, I finished the day taking pictures of Jarvis Anderson and his AQHA reining stallion  This Guns for Nic.
