You might say horse training is in her blood. Amber Wimberley remembers watching her grandfather build a foundation with groundwork and common-sense horsemanship on each horse that he trained. Amber’s family soon recognized her natural knack for horse training. Her first horse, Apache, clocked many, many miles!

At age 15, Amber trained her first barrel horse and began competing in local community shows. Her knack was obvious and her training career had begun.

An opportunity to apprentice under Andy Castro at Cutting Loose Ranch soon became available giving Amber the hands on experience that has further defined her training methods. She learned many invaluable lessons during this apprenticeship and experienced, first hand, the rewards of good horsemanship.

During this time, Andy introduced her to the thrill of cutting. Amber is now an active member in NCHA and competes regularly in cutting competitions throughout Kentucky.

Working W Training Facility is, at its core, a family. At the Working W, you will encounter a positive and enjoyable training atmosphere, with an experienced team that loves what it does.

Our 15 stall facility is located just fifteen minutes from Shelbyville or La Grange. We train in a covered arena, a larger outside arena and have access to local trails.

“Good horses make good riders and good horses make good trainers.”
~ Michael Matz, trainer of Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro
