Born in 1980, Casey Deary grew up in Texas riding horses, taking low-cost colts, training them and reselling them, allowing him to grow his training business. Deary was raised by incredible parents that taught him the values of God, family, hard work, integrity and helping others. Deary’s parents did not own horses when Casey was a child, but as a young man he found them and pursued life as a cowboy purchasing his own truck, trailer, saddle and horse one piece at a time.
In 1996 Deary began competing with his horse “Dusty” in the National Reining Horse Association; today he is ranked #4 in the NRHA Leading Lifetime Riders with earnings over $3,447,968.88.
