Lance Shockley
Lance has always lived his life around horses. After graduating from Laramie County Community College in Wyoming with a degree in Equine Science, this talented horseman worked for NRHA trainer Steve Schwartzenberger.

In 1991, Lance opened his own training operation, and has been garnering wins ever since. Although he has enjoyed competing in events ranging from roping to western riding, Lance's heart is in the reining industry. His love for the sport is evident in his many successes including recently:

Lance has developed a training program over the years that addresses each horse's individual talents and abilities, which allows each horse to reach it's full potential. Whether you are looking for a futurity contender, a nice non pro horse, or a seasoned rookie reiner, Lance would be happy to assist you in meeting your show ring goals.

Shockley Farm was built in 1998, and is a state of the art training and breeding facility. You will find the 32 stall barn spacious and welcoming. And whether you are a serious reining enthusiast, or just interested in "horsing around" a bit, you will enjoy riding in the 100' x 200' indoor arena at Shockley Farm.

Barbara Carley
Office Manager
If you have been showing reining horses in Colorado for any period of time, you have probably seen Barbara Carley's smiling face at a show or two. Besides being an avid reiner, Barbara keeps the office running smoothly at Shockley Farm. She oversees the paperwork, billing, as well as breeding, training, and vet records.

Barbara grew up as a self-described "poor, deprived horse crazy kid," and upon turning 21 remedied that situation by purchasing her first horse. She began her show career exhibiting pleasure horses as an amateur, but it didn't take her long to realize that there was a lot more fun to be had on a reining horse!

In 1991, Barbara began riding with Lance Shockley, and competes in NRHA and AQHA reining competition as a Non Pro, with numerous wins to her credit. She also has several nice broodmares that she crosses on top reining stallions every year.

Barbara's husband Alvin is an engineer for the Union Pacific Railroad. When not dusty and dirty at the horse shows, the couple like to keep a good thing going by four wheeling on the dirt back roads in the High Country.
