Youth Coach of the Year - Dean Latimer


Dean Latimer of Marietta, OK first showed with NRHA in 1985. With over 30 years dedicated to the sport as an exhibitor, judge, and trainer, Latimer’s knowledge of NRHA Rules and Regulations accentuates his credibility in teaching youth reiners. As an “excellent, patient mentor,” the lessons taught in the arena by Latimer carry through to other parts of life for many. His ability to never miss a step on top of his “articulate and detailed” explanations cause him to be an impeccable coach. He is known to talk his students through each maneuver of the pattern they are about to run, provide en- couragement before go-time, and end with “’now go have some fun.’”


Latimer not only excels in coaching, but also in being a skilled rider in the show pen. Boasting an NRHA LTE in excess of $160,000, he has worked for both Loomis Ranch and Arcese Quarter Horses as well as shown in the NRHA Futurity, NRHA Der- by, and many more elite shows. Latimer has also had individual success at the All Amer- ican Quarter Horse Congress and has had many students achieve accolades in presti- gious events as well—an exhibition of his premier coaching abilities!

NRHA in 2013 and has had much success within the industry as both a trainer and rid- er. Spending a combined five years working as an assistant trainer to Casey Deary and Jordan Larson, he has learned from some of the best in the industry. Not only does his training combine the finest techniques from Deary and Larson, but his family’s long- standing roots in the sport ignite a separate passion altogether. Dale Harvey, Trent’s father, was an NRHA Member for over 20 years, and remains a big inspiration to the reining community as a whole, even after his passing in 2017. “Following the death of his father, [Trent] has easily stepped into his shoes.”


Beyond helping future generations


of reiners in Marietta, OK, Harvey contin- ues to make big marks in the show pen. He has won many awards and titles at NRHA events such as the NRHA Derby and NRHA Futurity with over $100,000 in NRHA LTE. There is no doubt that he is qualified to earn the Up-and-Coming Trainer of the Year ti- tle as “a knowledgeable horseman and all- around good guy.”
