Cody Halford
Cody Halford was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho. As most cowboys do, he pretty much grew up on the back on a horse. His father raised and trained racehorses. At a young age, Cody followed in his dad footsteps and started galloping race horses on the track. He soon began breaking colts and starting horses for the locals. Cody always had an interest in the reiners/cowhorses and he eventually followed his dream. Cody started his reining career by working for one of Idaho's top reining trainers, Jason Richards. He rode and trained with Jason for over 4 years. In fact Cody says, that Jason taught him everything he knows! Cody then was given the chance to work for Trent Ford, a cowhorse trainer in Idaho. At Trent's Cody was given a great opportunity to not only train but to show reiners and cowhorses. He learned a lot from the experience, and has proved himself as quite the showman!
The day after he graduated from High School he moved to Montana to continue his horse training career for Jarvis Anderson. For 2 years he worked side by side with Jarvis. Cody said that the biggest thing he learned from Jarvis was how to make an Open horse. To prove this point, he went on to make the derby finals in Oklahoma City!! In 2010 Cody met Sharon Dorociak. Sharon had heard all of the wonderful things the "horseworld" had to say about Cody. Soon after they met she offered him a training position at her 20 acre ranch in Arizona. Cody jumped on the opportunity to work for Sharon. He was familiar with her program and her "Dealin Dirty" bred performance horses. Cody looks forward to a long term relationship with Sharon breaking, training, and showing her horses. Look for Cody showing and winning on “Dealers” in 2011! The future looks bright for young trainer Cody Halford!

Dallas Wedel
Dallas Wedel grew up in rural Kansas where horses were used for cattle work and 4-H. Following college, he held several professional positions including working for a world renowned life and motivational coach. In the late 1990s, he realized the natural ability he had working with horses could be coupled very effectively with his business and coaching skills, thus he turned his focus to becoming a full-time trainer.
Dallas’ training career was launched in ’98 when he began learning from a natural horsewoman who provided him with the foundation he still uses today. He then apprenticed with several outstanding horse trainers ending with Andrea Fappani, which brought him to Arizona. Since then, his program has become highly recognized and competitive in the regional circuit and now comprises several horses in a very busy show barn focusing on reining. Both he and his students have realized great success in the reining show circuit.
