About Us

Skyridge Ranch is a training facility owned and operated by the DeVice family on the west side of Idaho's beautiful Treasure Valley -- a stone's throw from the legendary Snake River near the foothills of the Owyhee mountain range and 10 minutes from Idaho's beautiful Treasure Valley wine region that's home to many award-winning wineries. At Skyridge, we focus on world-class Reining horses and believe in uncompromising excellence.

Trainer Dana DeVice has a long history in the performance horse world. He started in the industry working as the assistant trainer under 2 NRHA L4 Open Futurity finalists -- NRHA professionals Kelly Posey in Colorado and Mike Boyle in California. After many years of training for the public and giving hundreds of lessons, Dana has attained the knowledge and time-tested ability to get the very best of both horse and rider through a disciplined and consistent, but affable, approach. And every horse that comes through his program leaves with a rock-solid foundation, with many continuing on to great heights in national competitions.

Dana also loves sharing his knowledge and excitement of Reining through lessons and clinics. A gifted teacher and engaging clinician, he is one of the best when it comes to coaching people how to get the most performance and enjoyment from their horse with his incomparable ability to articulate and demonstrate difficult horsemanship concepts.
