Robert Hartley has been training and showing for several years. He started showing as a youth under the guidance of Rodger Petersen and then later, Steve Schwartzenberger.

At nineteen Robert moved to New Jersey to apprentice under NRHA Hall of Famer, Rocky Dare. It was then that Robert moved to Germany to further his training experience. Not only did he expand in his skills with horses, he also became fluent in German.

In year 2000, Robert moved to Central Point, OR and over the next years had many successes. 2006 concluded with a trip back to the AQHA World Show and a finish of 5th in the Senior Reining on Shining Freckle. The Hartleys now live in Stayton, OR.


On a personal note, Robert and Stacy were married in August of 2005. In 2007, along with son Brandon, the Hartleys welcomed a new arrival to the family, Hope Rose Hartley. There will be more pictures to come.
