Miya Childers has lived in Colorado since December 2004, when she came to work for a local trainer.
Before living here, Miya lived in Scottsdale, AZ. While in AZ Miya worked for an all around trainer, Steve Cruse, who was internationally acknowledged as a top halter exhibitor and trainer. Miya trained numerous World and National champion Appaloosas during her time with Steve, including showing her own Appaloosa gelding to Top Ten and Five spots in the open divisions of the western pleasure and trail. When Steve moved his business to Texas Miya moved to the Denver area, and went to work for an AQHA training program. As an assistant Miya rode multiple horses to top AQHA awards, including Superior Champions Good Vintage, Talkin Some Zip, Always Clownin Around, Chex is the Choice, and Western By Design. She qualified many students and horses for the AQHA World Show in several different events, including western pleasure, trail, hunter under saddle and halter.
Miya started her own business in September 2009, and earned AQHA Professional Horseman membership. Since the beginning the goal of her business (Dawning Performance Horses) has been to compete and win on a national level while being a steward of the horse. Miya has been attending the All American Quarter Horse Congress (the worlds largest single breed horse show) since 2010. She has been blessed to have had a horse in the Top Ten placings every year she has attended, including multiple Congress Champions and Reserve Congress Champions. Miya also has won Top Five and Ten placings at the AQHA World Championship show in both the Trail and Halter divisions.
Miya also runs a limited rehabilitation program, with horses referred from Colorado State University and Jergens Equine, Gill, CO.
Miya is also a regular clinician for both private groups and colleges with equine programs, including NWJC. She regularly attends judging clinics, and is pursuing her judges card for both AQHA, NSBA and ApHC
