At Ryan Walsh Racing Stable our goal is simple… To bring out the best in every horse in our barn. We are a hands-on family operation that has been in the Thoroughbred racing business for over 30 years.  The morning training is the most important part of the day for any Thoroughbred and trainer. This is the time when we observe, learn and adjust a training program to suit each individual horse. Our staff works hard to make sure this limited time is used to its fullest potential. We have three experienced exercise riders including myself, the trainer. Between the three of us, we discuss and utilize different equipment and exercise regimens to find the best fit for each horse.

Ryan  provides experienced training that brings out the full potential of every Thoroughbred racehorse. Attention to detail is what delivers horses to the winner’s circle more often.  Success in the business depends solely on the health and well-being of each horse. At Ryan Walsh Racing Stable, hard work, discipline and careful management all add up to a long and enjoyable Thoroughbred racing experience for you.

Two-year olds and early lessons.  One of Ryan's specialties is breaking and training young horses.
