Corey and Hannah met in 1999, while he was working in Indiana, and
married in 2001.  This April, they will have been married for 9 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.
