Rodney Yost is a 4th generation South Dakota rancher who has been involved with the ranching and horse customs his entire life. 
He started training ponies at the age of 10 and trained his first horse at the age of 13. 
Since then, he has become one of the top horse trainers in South Dakota and throughout the Midwest. 

Over the past few years, Rodney has instructed many horsemanship clinics and demonstrations for all ages and riding levels.  
His unique training style and sense of humor have made him a sought after horsemanship 
clinician throughout the United States and Canada. 

Rodney is the first and only 5-time champion in of the Crosswinds Ranch Colt Training Challenge.
