About Marty:
Marty Oak Simper was born in Utah but spent most of his childhood and
preteen years in Great Basin Nevada also known as Elko. Marty has
always been intrigued with horses, gaining a winning spirit and work
ethic from his parents who supported him in the show ring and
rodeo arenas. Summers in Elko were spent roping & moving cows and
branding and working with horses. At a young age Marty went to work on
a 220,000 acre ranch in Elko. There he became greatly influenced by the
philosophies of such icons as Tom and Bill Dorrance, Ray Hunt and Bill
Van Norman. Through their philosophies he set his foundations for the
methods he uses a lot today. After high school, he worked and
apprenticed with such well respected trainers as Clark Parker, Larry
Larsen, Mike Dunn and Bret Stone.
Marty is currently the owner of Marty Simper Show Horses and trains out
of Heritage Ranch and Stallion Station in Farr West, Utah, specializing in
All-Arounds. Marty is a well-known trainer and clinician throughout the
western United States. Marty has trained horses and riders to many
championship titles.
Marty is an AQHA Professional Horseman, National Director for AQHA, V.P. of UQHA, sits as a
Board of Director for Utah Paint Horse Club, And Utah Horse Council, voted Utah’s MVP 2007
