Let’s Talk: Kristen Suggs-Bohrer

Kristen Suggs-Bohrer tells us more about her horses.
Dual Reality

Favorite classes include: Reining – I really love when we show at bigger facilities, whether it’s home or out of state.

 

“There is something about walking into a coliseum to show that is just very satisfying. I used to be VERY intimidated by them, but my trainer has pushed me to go outside my comfort zone and that is where I see myself grow!”

 

Proudest accomplishments:  We have only been partners since the end of December but we have hit MANY goals I never even dreamed possible!

– Fallen Pines Maturity L2 Open winner with trainer, Jorge Puente
– TNRHA Spinning in the Rein II NH Open L2 & L3 winner with trainer, Jorge Puente and with Kristen winning the NRHA Green Reiner 1 & 2 
– McGee Farms Derby Show II winning the NRHA NH Open L2.

– ARHA World Show; Champion: Senior Reining,  Senior Ranch Reining, Novice Amateur Ranch Reining.
 
“This horse is such a blessing to me! He pours his heart  out in that ring for both Jorge and me. He is that ‘once in a lifetime’ horse!”

Favorite classes include: My favorite class to show her in is the Herd Work and Cutting. She is so quick footed and stylish that she can’t help but steel the crowds attention!
 
Proudest accomplishments: Her very first show was the 2022 ARHA world show in Ocala, FL, where she landed in the top 10 of her classes! 
 
“We were limited to what we could show her in being we had only had her a few weeks at that point, she was a cutter with NO additional training, so we were limited to what we could show her in.” 
 
The 2023 ARHA World Show in Ocala, FL where our trainer, Jorge made a name for them in the Reining and Cow Horse Divisions.
 
We left Ocala with a World Title in the Junior Herd Work and the Open All Around Cow Horse Divisions and took Reserve World Champion in the Junior High Point! Reserve World Champion in the All Age Cutting and the Junior Working Cow Horse with Jorge as well.
 
“Reserve World Champion in the Amateur Herd Work and the Amateur Ranch Cutting with myself as her pilot!”

Special Thanks:  First and foremost is my husband. Without his support behind me and my horses none of this would be happening for me.

Without a doubt, is Jorge Puente of JP Performance horses based out of Sarasota, FL. I started with him a little over a year and a half ago and if you would have told me then I would be where I am today, I wouldn’t have believed a word of it. He is one of the most talented, hardworking trainers I have ever worked with. Without a doubt we owe all our success to him! 

“My mom, she travels to most shows with me, mainly to keep me company but she doubles as the BEST groom out there, She is our biggest cheerleader, Jorge’s too!”

Last but not least, my soul sister and best Friend, Jessica Strayer. She has pushed me when I felt like giving up and walking away. She is always there with encouragement and a helping hand, ALWAYS! I would not and could not  be doing this without her by my side. It’s always better when we are together and no one horse shows like us, NO ONE!
