Robson

(from Watford Guide-Advocate, April 6, 2006)

Travis and Stephanie Robson and their family, Bobbi-Jo, Jessie, Colton and Paige, moved to 6224 Churchill Line in 2002. Travis buys and sells horses trained for barrel racing. In 2006 the Robsons had more than 25 horses, four brood mares and a stallion.

At the age of 17 Travis was invited to spend some time with a family in Italy. There he learned to train, break and show reining and performance horses. From there he went to Florida where he learned about the barrel racing industry.

Over the years, Travis has earned a reputation as a quiet, patient trainer. He hopes to train a world champion for his daughter, Jessie, who shares his passion for barrel racing. Jessie competed in barrel racing, goat tying, break-away roping and pole bending at the Junior National Rodeo Finals in New Mexico.

Travis is also a blacksmith and has been shoeing horses for 13 years. He is recognized by veterinarians for his ability to fix foot and lameness problems in horses through his special shoeing.
