Naylor Performance Horses

Brent Naylor is now known for riding the black stallion, Big Papi, “in the hackamore.” With his keen eye for finding the young ones before anyone else has thrown a leg over, Brent’s intuition has led him to many reining championships. Naylor has proven himself to ride some of the most difficult horses, not to mention some of the most beautiful. His precision and faith in his horse allows him to let the horse show off its natural ability. Big Papi, scoring a 224 at the High Roller classic and Cactus Classic, shows the consistency of Brent’s training program.

Naylor rode with Carol and Steve Metcalf for 2 ½ years, qualifying for the youth finals Top 10 both years. Naylor then went off to train and work under some of the most well-known trainers in the business, including Bob Avila, Darren Stansik, Duane Latimer and Casey Hinton. After Naylor went out on his own, he became the head trainer for Dave Belson’s 5B Quarter Horses, where he worked for 7 years, before opening Naylor Performance Horses LLC in October of 2001.
