Ranch Family
Will Kupec - Kupec Progressive Horsemanship
Will Kupec received his first riding lesson at the age 8 at a Hunter Jumper facility. He discovered a connection working with green horses and decided to pursue this further.
Will grasped an opportunity to work as a Wrangler at Laramie River Ranch in Wyoming. After returning home to North Carolina, Will worked with great horsemen including Dave Seay, Joe Wolter and most recently, Tracy Barton. Following their marriage, Will and Kim established Kupec Progressive Horsemanship in 2021.
Will has created a unique training program that caters to the specific needs of your horse. Will believes that the starting process is the most important time of a horse’s life. With his program, your horse will build a solid foundation with a positive and trustful mindset, a willingness to learn and reliable direction that will carry through their lifetime. All breeds and disciplines are welcome.
