High Desert Horses

10/30/2026

Before I became a mom, I was worried my dreams would have to die once kids came around.

The horses would leave, the adventures diminish, the goals fade. Many said it would be too hard, that you can’t be a good mom & horse trainer.

For a moment, I believed them. I lived in fear that once I saw those two tiny hands, the life I had built would disappear.

Then I held her in my arms for the first time— a feeling of love I will never forget. I knew from then on I wanted to share every ounce of what shaped me & taught me & drove me to be the person I am, with this little girl.

No matter how hard it was, no matter how many tears & sleepless night, that I wasn’t going to let the “hard” overtake me.

My goals are still big, my dreams are still wild, but the destination far greater than it ever was before.

The journey may be a little different- slightly slower, maybe some detours, snack breaks & nap time, but that doesn’t bother me.

There is no time frame. Because now it’s not just me- my family gets to come with me. & what great gift from God could I ever ask for.

You know what? I am still a good mom, & a good horse trainer.

I give thanks to God every day for giving me the courage to do what others say can’t be done.

Allow me to reintroduce myself & my brand: my name is Emmalee Fowles & I’m the owner and trainer of High Desert Horses. I have an amazing husband & daughter who are very supportive & a driving force behind the scenes making it possible for me to push toward goals & help others make their own possible. Based out of Utah, I wanted to create a brand that meant something to me & to other people as well.
Formerly EJ Performance Horses, I knew we needed a change. My husband Hunter & I have spent countless hours working to figure out how we could shape ourselves in a way that would incorporate more than just the show horse. That someone would see our brand or hear our name & say “we love them and we trust them”.
We wanted to include everything we do best: training, showing, sales & lifestyle. We wanted a brand that could showcase the resilience, beauty, uniqueness, & honesty that we are. Lo and behold, High Desert Horses was born. So- welcome, I hope you’re here to stay.

One whole year (and a few days). That’s how long I have been learning- learning how to be a mom, learning how to be a better horse trainer, and learning how to love this new version of myself. It has been the most challenging year of my life, and I hope every year is just like it. Here’s to being a mom, a wife and a horse trainer. And most importantly, here’s to never giving up. 🍻

And at the end of the day when you think it couldn’t get any better, God gives us a sunset.
