In this fast pace industry, Matt and Cami both feel that it is imperative to promote a fun, family oriented atmosphere for their customers. Their main concern is the well being of their horses and their owners.
Matt envisioned opening Claypool Ranch from a young age. He grew up showing Quarter horses. He is experienced in showing events from reining to halter. His first job was working with Shawn Flarida training reining horses. He soon found his true passion was showing and training halter horses. He began working for Randy Jacobs, where he fine tuned his skills on preparing and fitting world class halter horses. In 2003, Matt decided to make his dream come true and open the doors to Claypool Ranch. He has been fortunate to have several Congress Champions, AQHA high-point titles, and several Futurity Champions.
