Corey and Hannah met in 1999, while Corey was working in Indiana, and
married in 2001.  This April, they will have been married for 11 years. They
have been all through-out the US, as Corey gained knowledgeable
experience working with different trainers.  The horse industry can be a
tough place to make a living, but perseverance and the pursuit of goals are
traits that are strong within the Wilson household.  Corey and Hannah were
given the gifts of great examples of honest, hard-working, morally-ethical,
and God-fearing people through the lives of each of their parents.  Now,
raising their own son, Wyatt, they carry out these personal lifestyles in
everything they do.  Being spouses, parents, and friends they maintain
upright relationships with the public and their clients.  
Corey grew up on the central coast of California.  He always had an interest in horses, but spent
most of his time at the beach and playing sports during his high school days.  After graduation Corey
enrolled in a college program to become an EMT, and jumped at an opportunity to become more
involved with horses and riding when he wasn't studying.  He soon discovered that he liked riding
more than anything else and began searching for ways to make that his career.

Corey attended an equine vocational college in San Diego, directed by Clarence Chown.  Upon
graduating, in 1998, he took an internship with NRHA Professional, Allen Mitchels, in Indiana, and
soon moved into a full time position.  Corey's responsibilities included starting and training the colts,
and training and maintaining the older reining and cutting horses.  Corey spent five years with
Mitchels Training Stables before moving on.  

In 2003, Corey took an opportunity to go work for Brett Stone in Utah.  While there he started
the new colts and worked with the older show horses.  When another opportunity presented itself
for him to go to Ohio and work for Margaret Fuchs and Saddle Creek Farms, Corey took it.  
After spending most of 2004 at SCF, Corey made the step to be on his own.  He returned to
northwest Indiana with a goal to be the top reining horse trainer in the state.  

Corey, and his wife, Hannah, own and operate Wilson Performance Horses and provide quality
horsemanship for both horse and rider.  Their training program builds confidence and teaches
correctness.  Moving forward and progressing is a goal of WPH.  Corey and Hannah work hard to
provide an environment where the clients and horses are not intimidated and feel comfortable at their
individual levels.
... developing the horse that responds faithfully to you, the rider!
