Keith and Maureen have been involved with Arabian horses for over 30 years. Along with their experience comes the knowledge of the horses, the ability to evaluate them for show and breeding potential, and the skill to bring them to their fullest potential in the show ring, the breeding barn and the marketplace. Keith and Maureen began their careers by training and showing purebred and half Arabian horses in halter and performance divisions including English, Hunt, and Western Pleasure. They soon became mentors and coaches for their clients who wanted to participate more actively in the show ring. This evolved into the highly successful amateur owner program at Krichke Training Center. As Keith and Maureen perfected their skills, the blue and tricolored ribbons, red rose garlands and trophies began to accumulate. Today, they are recognized nationally and internationally as two of the most talented and successful halter trainers in the Arabian industry. Keith received the "APHA Male Halter Trainer of the Year” award in 1997, 1998, and again in 2011. Maureen received the award of "APHA Female Halter Trainer of the Year” in 1999. Over the years consulting, evaluation and marketing have become important services offered at Krichke Training Center. The goal is to bring clients and horses together to achieve their clients’ goals and to make dreams come true. Consulting is a multi-faceted service. It includes many aspects of ownership such as representing clients with mares, assisting them with stallion selection and producing high quality foals to show and market.
