Welcome
Hello! My name is Andrea Huft. Together my husband Philip and I started O-O Barrel Horses.
Philip and I have been riding and training horses ever since we were young. Philip is well known in this area for how well his colts ride in 30 days. By 30 days he's put countless miles on his colts and used them all over the ranch. If you catch him the right part of the year, his colts often are dragging calves to the fire, some in less than a weeks riding. Philip has a way of making nice horses. In addition to his training skills, he is also a farrier. He makes sure all the horses feet are in good shape as well as shoeing a few outside horses. In 2008 he graduated with honors from Montana State University earning a degree in Animal Science - Livestock Industry & Management and a minor in Ag Business.
I have been riding horses ever since I can remember. I started out showing horses in 4H and local shows. As I reached Jr. High, I became more involved with barrel racing in 1999, I began riding with a barrel racing legend, Mary Ketchum. Mary got me hooked to barrel racing as well as training. In high school my horse Smoky By Lucky Boy and I achieved many things, winning the NDHSRA Barrel Racing and All Around Cowgirl Championships as well as qualifiying to the NHSRF 3 years in a row. Most people don't realize that I also won the Girls' Cutting event my senior year. Throughout my high school summers I spent a fair amount of time with ND Horseman and cutting trainer, John Hovde. Through him and his son JJ, I have refined my horsemanship skills. Their guidance helped me start many colts and their influence on me is still felt to this day as I've moved into training barrel horses. In 2008, I also graudated Montana State University with an Equine Science degree.
Since graduation we've moved back to my hometown, Baker, MT. Philip is working for a natural gas company as well as day helping on ranches, AIing cattle, riding colts and shoeing horses. I continue to ride barrel horses preparing them for futurities as well as finishing a few colts. I've also started a new endeaver of making western jewelry.
