About Sharin Hall
Based in Pilot Point, Texas, Sharin Hall is a leading futurity trainer and million-dollar rider whose horsemanship and training have evolved over the years, subsequently leading to her massive win at the Breeder’s Challenge in 2021. Hall has a commitment to detail and horsemanship that she has gone to great lengths to make sure her horses are comfortable. With a mission to keep the needs of performance horses front and center, Hall developed Pro Series Tack. Hall realizes that having correctly fitting and comfortable tack coupled with correct horsemanship and training make for a winning combination.
“I think taking the extra steps to keep your horse fit and sound coupled with good, consistent training is what goes into being successful,” Hall said. “To me, that’s a great trainer, it’s a combination of being consistent with all the small daily disciplined tasks to keep your horse fresh and fit and ready to compete to their full potential. I’ve done the futurities, I’m venturing more into the rodeo world and Women’s Rodeo World Championships. It all takes a lot of work. You’ve got to put in the time.”
