Rebecca Van Tassel, Trainer

I got my first horse when I was 6 years old and have been in the saddle ever since! At 8, I joined the Country Style 4-H club in El Paso County and remained heavily involved in 4-H until I aged out at 18.

At 13 years, I joined the APHA and began showing paint horses in the all-around. That same year I also joined the county 4-H horse judging team, with many fun and successful years to follow. My horse showing career has been equally successful, including four top 10 placings and two top 5 placings at the APHA World Show!

In 2011, I started my training internship and would spend the next four years working with top APHA and AQHA trainers. Since starting my own business, Triple M Performance Horses, several of my clients are nationally ranked.

Working with both horses and riders, developing connections and relationships, is what it's all about. Western or English; riding or driving; starting a young horse and rider or finishing the more mature; all of it matters!
