About Miles Henry

Hi there! I'm Miles, the person behind this website. Born and raised in Louisiana, I've been around horses for as long as I can remember. From racing quarter horses and barrel horses to Thoroughbreds, I've owned them all.

Currently, I'm working with a team of seven horses, each at a different stage in their training. It's not just about racing for me, though. I grew up with horses as integral to our daily activities—working with cattle, trail riding, or even hunting.

Barrel racing was my first foray into the competitive world of horses, and it's been nearly 25 years since I leaped into the horse racing business. It's been an incredible journey, and through this website, I hope to share a bit of that with you.
