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. We don't run a sixty- or ninety-day program that leaves the owner out. Each session involves the rider so the work continues long after the horse goes home.
What We Do
From green colts to seasoned show horses, beginners to advanced riders. We listen first, then build the program around you.
60, 90, and 90+ day training programs. Whether your horse needs a solid foundation, a tune-up, focused work for the show pen, or polish for a consignment sale, our training emphasizes softness, responsiveness, and confidence.
