Westin Sampson
Westin is the head trainer for Double Down Horse Ranch that is founded in Benjamin, Utah Westin was raised with a passion for horses and continues to grow his knowledge and skill. Westin learned at a young age from his mother who grew up showing, riding and training show horses. That spark led him to start training horses for RMO Horses to help pay his way through college. There his good friend Mike Savio (Reining/Cowhorse Trainer) turned that little spark of training into a burning desire to become a professional trainer.
The best way to learn is to practice, practice, practice, and surround yourself around the best. You are only as good as the people you ride around and compete against. So thats exactly what Westin did. He started taking in every style and breed of horse he could train. Everything from Gaited horses, Arabians, Warmbloods, Driving Teams, Draft horses, Mules, Thoroughbreds, and through all these he found that his love was for the American Quarter Horse and how they handled themselves around cows.
He started working with different trainers and followed their styles and techniques, adding them to his program. He worked with Mike constantly as well as Kim Wagnor(Reining/Cowhorse Trainer), Jason Romney (Reining/Cowhorse Trainer and USU Equine Coach), Shawn Tree (Cutting Horse Trainer), And spent a year riding full time with his Uncle Tim Denton(Cutting Horse Trainer) Luke Denton (Cutting Horse Trainer) and Kip Denton(Cutting Horse Trainer).
