Kirk P. Torres Horse Trainer & Riding Instructor
Kirk began working with horses at the young age of 7 and not long after, started showing at the local level in the Hunters and Equitation divisions in Southern California. Throughout the years, he became a working student for several local trainers. These trainers included: Kenny Norstrom, Bill Herring, and Tommy Lowe; among these elite trainers, he earned many Hunter, Equitation and Jumper championships. Kirk moved to Idaho in 1988 and began working as a trainer for the Lucky 13 Ranch. It was at this ranch, he developed an interest for working with the bigger jumpers.
Kirk really enjoyed working with the students, so he chose to take over the lesson program. He would travel to the pacific northwest with his students, and compete in "AA" shows; earning many championships in the Hunter and Jumper rings. In 2007, Kirk moved to Northern California and opened a show barn and schooling program. Over the past few years, he and his students attended numerous "AA" shows where the kids thrived earning many championships in the Hunter, Equitation/Medal and Jumper divisions. Kirk moved to South Florida in the beginning of 2010, to be closer to his family. We are pleased to have him as part of our family at KK Ranch.
