with two outdoor pens and 2 round pens, a hot walker and several dry lots. “We have around 70 horses on our property that consist of training horses, boarders, and mares and babies,” Hansen said. Over the years Hansen has had the opportunity to train and or show such decorated show horses as Loping In The Knight, NSBA Reserve World Champion, AQHA Bronze World Champion and multiple Congress Top 10 awards; Irresistibly Hot, NSBA Reserve and Bronze World Champion, APHA Reserve World Champion and numerous Top 10 awards at the AQHA World Show; Lopin On A Goodbar, NSBA World Champion, Multiple Congress Reserve Champion and AQHYA Bronze World Champion; A Certain Chex, APHA World Champion and NSBA multiple Top 10 award winner; A Special Invite, AQHYA World Champion and Reserve Congress Champion; and Congress Champion One Exclusive Cookie. “I haven’t worked under anyone but I have rode with a lot of people and continue to this day to get help and lessons from some of the best in the industry,” he explained. Hansen also enjoys coaching non- pro competitors as well as “anybody who would like some help or advice. I will answer any question someone has to the best of my ability,” he said. To date, Hansen has coached non-pros to AQHA, NSBA, APHA and Congress Championships and Reserve Championships. His favorite part of the job is working with the young horses and teaching them the Trail and Western Riding. “I love to get both horses and humans to their highest potential,” he explained. And what’s the worst part of his job? “That would have to be the long drive after a show is done and wanting to get home to my kids,” he explained. Micah and Christi have two children, Colten 12, and Laiken 9. “I love to be a dad and be involved in my kids' sports,” Hansen said. “I also love to attempt to play golf and hunt.” Family is important to Micah. He says he still remembers the advice is dad gave him a while back. “He told me to make sure that you work hard but never forget your family,” Hansen said.
