Trainer Cody McArthur joined the Blackland Team in April of 2004. He offers a full range of equine services ranging from training to instruction to sales. Cody's expertise covers all aspects of Performance Horse Training - specializing in Cow Horses. Cody teamed up with Blackland's stallion, Lil Retsina Peppy (aka Badger), to the 2004 ARCHA Open Working Cowhorse Championship. In 2005, Cody will show Blackland's Gallo Con Estrellas (aka Rooster) in several different performance events. Cody grew up in Turner Valley, Alberta, riding his English pony, Gladness, in Pony Club. His intrigue with horses continued under the guidance of his granddad, Ken Stav, where he learned to start and work with colts. Following graduation, Cody's sense of adventure took him overseas, when the first Quarter Horses were shipped to Norway. He spent several months there instructing western riding techniques and galloping horses on the racetrack. Then he returned to the USA and Canada to work with legendary horseman Les Timmons, Benny Guitron, Don Murphy, and John Roeser. Cody can be reached at (403) 850-8842.
