Chris & Sarah Dawson Interview

The Barbra Schulte Show

Chris & Sarah Dawson believe in the true importance of a solid foundation for each & every horse that enters into & matriculates through their program. That solid foundation was impressed upon both of them from their early days riding as youths & is ever-present in their dedication to training up sound, great-minded, well finished, & talented top contenders. 2013 was the year that put Chris Dawson on the map. He won four major NRCHA shows, the dynamic stud Travelin Jonez. Three short years later, Dawson is the number two ranked open rider in the country. His success in the cow horse business has been 16 years in the making, but his connection to horses started long before that. He remains consistently at the top of the leaderboard in reined cow horse national events. After graduating from high school at 16, Sarah departed home, taking with her all of the support and knowledge both her parents, Richard & Cheryl Winters imparted on her. She worked with famed professionals Doug Williamson, Carol Rose, & Sandy Collier. She advanced her skills & gained a respected reputation nationwide as a first-rate colt starter. Traversing the United States on colt starting contracts, Sarah grew her reputation and sharpened her showmanship skills, never wavering in her dedication to truly understanding the mind & movement of the horse as she had been brought up to do. Sarah was the 2020 Open Snaffle Bit Futurity Champion. She is also consistently at or near the top of aged events in the Reined Cow Horse industry.
