Meet Our Gold Buckle Pros

Cody has loved horses since he was a little boy and has done everything from roping, ranching and hunting on horses to running a dude ranch in Hawaii.

When he worked in Hawaii he bought horses from the mainland and had them shipped to Hawaii and trained them and sold them to people on all of the islands for team roping and polo.

He loves to watch his two sons rodeo in the junior high and high school circuits. There aren’t very many days that go by where Cody isn’t on a horse.

He loves to buy prospects and help his friends and family find horses that fit them.

Finding and buying prospects can be very challenging and time consuming in today’s day and age.

We think it should be a lot easier and that’s where Certified Gold Buckle Horse Sales come in!

When I saw what Gold Buckle was trying to do for the horse sale world and how they are trying to be an advocate for the buyer I knew I wanted to be part of that.

I’m a fifth-generation ranch raised cowboy who’s roots run deep in the western lifestyle.

I’m happily married to my sweetheart of 34 years, and together we have 4 kids and 7 grandkids.

I have spent the better part of my 52 years on the back of a horse and have had the opportunity to work with and associate with some of the best cowboys and team ropers in the business.

I have been a PRCA card holder since 1992 and still love to compete at the highest level.

I have trained and sold horses to the public for my entire adult life and feel like I have a good idea of what people look for and expect from a horse sale.

I’m excited to be part of this fast-growing horse industry through the Gold Buckle program.

Kylie McLean makes a living by training high quality rope and performance horses.

Kylie’s life has always revolved around horses. She grew up on a third generation cattle ranch in Alberta, and pursued a rodeo scholarship in Wyoming.

Post-graduation she worked in the
movie industry as a wrangler and stunt double then progressed to providing riding lessons for kids and hosted children riding summer camps.

Currently Kylie lives in San Tan Valley, Arizona. When Kylies not training her horses, you can find her competing at local and World Series jackpots.

It’s not often that Kylie isn’t on or around horses, but in those rare moments she can be found hanging out with her family and friends, or cuddling Millie her miniature
dachshund.

Kylie is always looking to add to her string of top end performance horses.

Kylie’s personal manta is that you can achieve anything if you have enough grit, try and perseverance.
