Brianna Kroskob

We first met Briana Kroskob at the National Western Stock Show in Denver in 2004. Within five minutes of meeting Briana, we knew she was very special. Over the years, we have surrounded ourselves with people who are honest, hard working, strong in values and have a wonderful sense of life. Briana is an exceptional young woman who we felt we could help in her endeavors to become a champion breeder. She is our first sponsorship and she has brought to us much greater joy than we could ever imagine.

Briana was born in Fort Morgan, Colorado on July 14, 1987. She comes from a farming background where three generations of Kroskobs have toiled the land. She learned how to ride when she was five and became the owner of her first horse, a grey pony named Smokey, when she was seven, which she bought with the help of her father and savings from her weekly allowance. In sixth grade, she began her career, showing her second horse, a white Arabian named Quaema. Since then she has owned a number of different horses and worked with a number of different breeds until finally deciding to concentrate her efforts to the Paint Horse breed. In 2002, she acquired Mr. Genuine Dun, who before to long, was the 2003 High Point Yearling Stallion with three grands and seven reserves.

Briana will be graduating High School in 2005. She is an active member in FFA doing Ag Business, Parli Pro, Horse Judging and Public Speaking. She has also started roping, barrel racing as well as taking lessons in English. She plans to attend CSU or CU Davis for Equine Management and Equine Science.

We are fortunate to have met Briana and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors. She has become a good friend, a great addition to our company and a wonderful example to the next generation.
