Matt Koch is a household name in the reined cow horse industry and has had relatively quick success in the show pen. He's a 4x AQHA World Champion, 4th at 2016 World's Greatest Horseman, 5th & 6th at 2019 Snaffle Bit Futurity, as well as being a top ten money earner in the NRCHA for the last 3 years, are among the many accolades that make up Matt's impressive resume.

Unknowingly, Matt has been preparing his entire life to train/show performance horses, from growing up on a farm in Kansas, to being the "2yr old guy" at Lloyd Cox Cutting Horses, to the ranches he worked at (Haythorn Land & Cattle & Wagonhound) and now beginning his journey on his own by starting Koch Cowhorses in Elizabeth, CO.

Take a listen as Matt shares his mindset and what it takes to compete at the highest level in the performance horse industry today.
