The Story

Ranch Roots, Million-Dollar Results

Nick Dowers is a rancher, horseman, and reined cow horse trainer from Dyer, Nevada, where he developed his foundation working horses on his family’s Triple D Ranches. His approach is rooted in understanding the horse, building trust through the training process, and developing confident, balanced athletes. Nick studied at Feather River College and was influenced by respected horsemen including Bryan Neubert, Joe Wolter, Bill Van Norman, Andrea Fappani, and Annie Reynolds. Today, he brings that practical, horse-first philosophy to his training program, clinics, and work with performance horses.


An NRCHA Million Dollar Rider with more than $1.66 million in lifetime earnings, Nick is an NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity Champion, Derby Champion, Hackamore Classic Champion, and multiple NRCHA world champion. He has earned major titles across the snaffle bit, hackamore, two-rein, and bridle divisions, and has developed several horses with more than $100,000 in career earnings. A two-time Road to the Horse World Champion, Nick is respected for producing his own horses from the ground up and for the steady, honest horsemanship that defines his program.
