Educating today for better horsemen tomorrow.
Our Story
My name is Rebekah Swartz. I grew up on a small family farm in Basehor, Kansas, showing animals in 4-H from an early age. At around seven years old I attended my first 4-H horse day camp, and that was it. I got hooked pretty quick.
At sixteen I bought my first horse and my training journey began. I went on to attend Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture, earning my Associates in Equine Industry Management. There I immersed myself in diverse training methods and competed at the collegiate level in ranch horse versatility.
Since founding Swartz Performance Horses in 2019, I have built a lesson program from the ground up, started and sold multiple horses, worked with professional clinicians, and taken on training clients in the western performance and ranch horse world.
My husband Jeff and our daughter Paisley have been right here alongside me every step of the way. This business is as much about faith and family as it is about horses.
A horse shouldn't be tailored to a training program. The training program should be tailored to the horse.
At SPH our main goal is to help you communicate and work with your horse. While your horse is in training with us, we manage the full program: riding, feed, and daily care.
What We Do
Honest evaluations and performance-level training. We develop each horse as far as their talent allows and tell you straight if they aren't the right fit for your goals.
Training programs of 90 days or more. Whether your horse needs a solid foundation, focused work for the show pen, or polish for a consignment sale, our training emphasizes softness, responsiveness, and confidence.
Includes board and five rides a week.

Private Western riding lessons focused on building strong fundamentals and advanced skills for riders 16 years and older. All new riders start with a 30-minute evaluation lesson to determine rider ability. Must be able to walk, trot, and lope. Ride year-round in a 90' × 200' indoor arena.
Rebekah shows in ranch versatility (ranch riding, ranch trail, ranch reining, and ranch conformation) and reining. If you would like your horse shown, she can take it into the show pen to build its experience and record.
