R3 Performance Horses, owned by Ridge and Miranda Romine, offers weekly and monthly training programs, mini clinics, as well as standing On a Moonshine High, aka “Moonshine”, at stud on their farm. Located in Athens, TN this beautiful facility includes a 10-stall barn, covered arena, and outdoor arena available for clients to use as well as a tack holding room, and wash area. Ridge completed the Josh Lyons Accreditation Program in 2023 leaving Colorado riding, thinking, and teaching at a completely different level which accelerated the success of R3. Meeting back in 2013, Ridge and Miranda established clear goals for what they wanted in their life. With college, military, job placements, and more, they knew moving to Athens, TN offered the balance of family values and lifestyle opportunities they wanted. They welcomed their son, Ryker, to the world in 2019, and their daughter, Royce, in 2023. Together they vowed to cherish time, continually improve each other, and show their children the foundation of a team and partnership.
Upon returning home from deployment with the United States Coast Guard, Ridge shifted his career path, focusing on being the best all-around horseman he can be. In order to continue his education and provide higher quality finish horses after colt starting, Ridge chose the Lyons Legacy program. As Ridge says, “when I attended a 3 day clinic back in 2016, I learned a ton in those 3 short days. I couldn’t get over how much I learned in such a short period of time that it drove me to pursue the Accreditation. The way Josh teaches makes new exercises a lot easier to understand. His analogies when explaining make the concepts stick in your head in a way that really helps me learn.” Here he found where his true passion lies with horses – being able to establish a concrete foundation for a horse and rider so they have the best tools and confidence to navigate through all situations.
Ridge continues to seek additional learning opportunities to further develop his skills and services. “I would really like to become the best overall horseman I can be. I want to be able to gain enough knowledge and perspective to provide services over multiple disciplines instead of falling into one unique niche. Continuing to learn is a huge goal for my future. The day I say “I know everything about horses” is the day I am wrong. Whenever I get the chance to pick Josh’s brain, I am trying to gain more and more knowledge. I’m grateful Josh is willing to chat, teach, and even mentor when it comes to new, old, and future opportunities.”
Together with his family, R3 Performance horses continues to grow and add new services to their clientele. You can reach the R3 team at:
