James "Christian" Embry is our oldest son and horse trainer. He has been handling and riding horses for fourteen years and training horses for 11 years. Christian is a gifted trainer with a strong intuition about how a horse should be ridden. We tease him that he "can ride anything with hair" and that he was "born with Velcro on his rear". He sticks like glue and is the natural choice to train horses that enjoy testing their riders. He began his career by using his gift to help retrain rescue horses to give them a second chance at a better life.

He enjoys training all breeds of horses within multiple disciplines. Together with his brother they start colts, retrain problem horses, retrain off track thoroughbreds, rehabilitate rescue horses. He believes that giving a horse a solid foundation will set them up for a successful future.

​

In recent years he has also been breeding quality Paso Fino horses and producing some phenomenal young horses.

DJ Embry is our youngest son and horse trainer. He has been handling and riding horses for 12 years and training horses for ten years. If there is a "horse charmer" in our family, it is DJ. He can sweet talk a wild and frightened rescue horse into begging for his affection. The horses follow him around just wanting to be close to him.

​

He began his training career by rescuing Tennessee Walking Horses to rehab and retrain for 4H. He competed successfully in 4H, TWHBEA and WHOA shows.  He believes in exhibiting the Tennessee Walking Horses natural gait. ​

​

In the last few years he has been building up his Bashkir Curly Horse breeding program. His program has been producing some fantastic offspring.
