About Jade Keller

He had several notable successes while working for Dunning, including being the Arizona Futurity Reserve Champion. In 2015, Keller started his own training program, Jade Keller Performance Horses, where he specializes in cutting horses and reined cow horses.  

Both an accomplished competitor and trainer, Keller won the AZCHA 2015 Futurity, AZCHA 2016 Derby Horse, and reserve world champion in the level 2 junior cutting at the AQHA World Show. Keller’s non-pro riders have also seen success in the show pen at some of the largest cutting events in the country.
