Most horse enthusiasts will agree, the mere thought of any Saddlebred trainer making it in Kentucky, regardless of how big his dream may be, is a long shot scenario marked by challenges and stiff competition in more ways than one. Add to that scenario the young and aspiring “dreamer” is literally from another country and starting out from total scratch, the odds become even slimmer...

The stable is the oldest known building in the United States that was continuously devoted to boarding and training American Saddlebred horses.

The view from Martin Cockriel’s front porch and from the barn as well is absolutely spectacular. You can see the snowcapped Rocky Mountains all the way from Longs Peak in Estes Park to Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs. A person could sit there for hours and just enjoy looking at those mountains. But not if you are Martin Cockriel. He’s much too busy...
