Barb Longacre

Barb grew up in Montana on her family’s Foundation Quarter Horse Ranch helping raise and train all around ranch horses and rodeo horses. She high school rodeo’d and competed at the intercollegiate level throughout college. She graduated from Colorado State University with dual majors in Equine Science and Agricultural business. She’s interned under barrel horse trainers to cow horse horse trainers such as Judy Myllymaki, Fallon Taylor, and Aaron Ralston. After school and interning, Barb competed in the National Reined Cowhorse Association and found a new passion among the cow horse world. After her NonPro years, Barb became efficient in private barn management for private clients in the Aspen area, which led her to establishing the Longacre Equine boarding facility in 2018 in New Castle, CO. Her favorite areas of the horse world are colt starting, cow horses, rope horses, and barrel horses. She is extremely passionate about teaching and educating others on the aspects of equine behavior, responsible ownership, equine nutrition, safety, and helping her students reach their highest riding potential. Outside of the horse-world, Barb enjoys spending time with family, books, skiing, traveling, and her crazy Vizsla dogs. (Source)
