Hi there! I am Stephanie Tarr and the Vice President this year of Premier Mount N Trail. I have always loved horses, got my first pony when I was 5, was in 4-H and showed into my twenties. Got back into horses at 46 and fell right back into showing mountain trail and ranch. I think PMT is a great organization and I love what we promote to the horse world. 

Justin resides just outside of Wheeling, WV with his multitude of furry and feathered friends. He has been involved with horses in a variety of ways for over 25 years. While his involvement with PMT is relatively short, experience with non profit organizations is not. He has served for a combined 16 years as president or vice president of the Ohio County Country Fair. He hopes that during his time with PMT he can strengthen membership and promote the mission and values of the organization.  

   Susan Croft grew up in Chagrin Falls. She caught the horse bug at a young age and had a quarter horse mare. Many years went by before purchasing a 6-month-old quarter horse gelding named Chief. They started out in mountain trail when Chief was 2 years old and have competed every year. Susan and Chief love to camp and trail ride when they are not competing.   

  Taylor is from West Michigan and has ridden and shown horses since the age of 10. She joined PMT in 2023 and now competes with her mustang, Cheta, in Levels 3 and 4. She has a lot of experience both showing horses and running horse shows, in addition to being a 4H leader and show manager for Kent County Youth Fair in Michigan. She also works full time in Aerospace Manufacturing as an Engineer to support her love of horses and coonhounds! You can find her on LinkedIn and most social media.  

Kris Lamb started with Arabian horses at a young age in Holland, Michigan. She grew up with a passion with working and showing Arabian horses. Her and her husband Lamb own a farm in Michigan, the Long Branch Ranch.  She is president of Holland Western Horse Park, & Extreme Mountain Trail Course. Kris enjoys showing, trail rides, and going to Montana back country with Lamb to the Bob Marshall Wilderness horse pack trips.
