Over the years I have worked for and with some outstanding and well known horsemen and cowboys. Like most boys, I grew up working with my dad, Mike Sheridan, a respected trainer known for training the Parks and Recreation Mounted Unit in the late eighties. 
Years later I conducted a series of trainings like those I had helped with as a boy. Having been raised to inherit the title of fifth generation horseman, I was groomed at an early age to be a trainer – starting my first horse at age twelve. Although I began starting horses and working with troubled horses in my early teens, I was fascinated with ranch life. Throughout my lifetime I worked for ranches across California, Nevada, Oregon, Montana, Tennessee and Australia – realizing every boy’s dream of being a cowboy.
Growing up within a family of generational trainers brought me into contact with many outstanding trainers. I developed the most after leaving the farm and working along side these trainers. In my late teens and late twenties I worked for a successful Southern California based reining horse trainer, Pat Wickenheiser. This master horseman developed and deepened my understanding and appreciation of performance horses. Wickenheiser set a standard that I have always sought to excel toward.
During my early twenties, I met and worked with Martin Black in central California starting colts for Don Buttery. This was a great opportunity for me to learn from a legend. I had just returned from cowboying in Australia and was anxious to start learning. Black increased my understanding of horses and greatly influenced me. Working with Black helped me to see areas where I could improve and develop my art – the art I have been attempting to refine my whole life. I am confident in my work, yet aware that there is always room for growth. There is always something more to be learned.
Currently, I am based in Southern California operating a training barn. I start colts and work with troubled horses in addition to tuning up older horses. Although I conduct a limited amount of clinics and seminars every year, my passion is to focus on the horse.
