Robert Hartley - Chairman

Born and raised in WY, Robert has had many different mentors that have guided his journey as a horse trainer: Max Pollet, Roy Yates, Rodger Peterson, Steve Schwartzenberger, and Rocky Dare, to name a few.

Horses have provided an exciting journey for Robert, including living and training horses in Germany for 4 years, a breeding and horse shoeing certificate from Oregon State University and competing on an International, National, and Regional level.

In 2010 the Hartley's moved to Harrisburg, OR and became owners of a horse facility that offers training, clinics, breeding, boarding, lessons and much more.

Roberts experience includes 10+ years on multiple AQHA Affiliate Boards, in 2017 he became an AQHA National Director, and joined the ASHA Board in 2014 and is now serving as President. Robert continues to be a voice for members and horses.

Stacey Lyle - Vice-Chairman

Stacey was born and raised in Placerville, California and has always been in love with horses. She showed hunter-jumpers throughout high school and was also introduced to Reiners during that time.

While earning a Bachelor's Degree in Agricultural Systems Management, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Stacey worked for the late Jeff Walker and developed her love for the all around stock horse. Jeff's horses could rope, rein, work a cow and trail ride, all in the same day.

In 2005, Stacey moved to Oregon and worked for a Veterinary Service Inc. until 2014. She and husband, Jason Lyle now own a manufacturing business in Lebanon, Oregon. In addition, they raise a small herd of Simmental, Angus, and Club calf cattle inn Lacomb with their son Cole, and daughter, Cassie.

Riding and showing horses has given Stacey many opportunities to learn from a large handful of wonderful trainers in various disciplines and she has enjoyed taking the best parts from each one. Her favorite aspect of the ASHA format is that it showcases the aspects of the all-around working horse.

She started competing in her early teens riding English and showing in three day eventing.

While attending college at Utah State University, she was introduced to several Western disciplines that ranged from pleasure, cutting, reining and reined cow horse. It was her work with Chuck Nesmith where she found her passion.

Peggy moved to Oregon in 2014. It was then that she launched her business where she specializes in training both horse and riders in the ranch horse versatility discipline, and she has coached multiple riders to local, regional and national titles in ASHA Novice, Limited Non-Pro and Non-Pro All-Around Championships.

Laurie Gillihan

Laurie was born in Sioux City, Iowa where her first horse was a retired racehorse which she rode endless circles in the round pen as a four year old. A handful of horses came in and out of her life as a young girl that nurtured her passion for horses.

In 1968, Laurie and two of her five siblings moved with their Mom to Lake Oswego, OR where she met her (now) husband in high school. Married in 1978, Dave and Laurie have three grown and married children, and seven grandchildren.

Laurie worked with Dave off and on in his mortgage business for several years. She got back into horses when the kids were out of college. Her first ever showing experience was in 2015, a WSSH show! Laurie continues to ride and show her buckskin gelding "Lincoln" and loves every minute of it.
