ABOUT NAOMI
About Naomi Richmond
Naomi Richmond isn't just a trainer — she's the heart and soul of Marys Peak Performance Horses. With over 20 years of deep roots in the Arabian and Half-Arabian industry, Naomi brings a level of knowledge, dedication, and genuine love for horses that is truly rare. She's the kind of person who goes the extra mile without being asked, stays late without a second thought, and shows up for her horses and riders in ways that go far beyond the arena.
Operating out of Harmony Training Center in Corvallis, Oregon, Naomi competes at the regional and national level across Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Oklahoma — from open level through U.S. and Youth Nationals. But ask anyone who knows her and they'll tell you the ribbons are secondary. What sets Naomi apart is her heart. Riders look up to her, parents trust her, and horses genuinely thrive under her care. She's the kind of trainer that comes along once in a lifetime — and if you're lucky enough to ride with her, you'll know exactly what we mean.
YOUTH FOCUSED
Built on confidence, horsemanship, and fun. We provide a supportive, family-friendly environment where young riders flourish and develop a genuine bond with horses without the pressure of competition.
ALL BREEDS WELCOME
While we specialize in the elegance of Arabians and Half-Arabians, we proudly welcome all breeds. Our performance-driven philosophy is rooted in harmony, ensuring growth for every horse and rider pair.
FAMILY FRIENDLY
At MPPH, horses are family. Operating out of Harmony Training Center in Corvallis, we foster a welcoming community where riders of all ages feel supported and encouraged in their equestrian journey.
SHOW WITH US
US Nationals
The biggest stage in the Arabian horse world — and we show up ready. MPPH competes at U.S. Nationals with heart, preparation, and a deep love for the breed. Specializing in Arabian and Half-Arabian hunter pleasure and purebred western, we bring our youth and amateur riders to the pen prepared, confident, and proud — win or lose.
Region III
From the Nevada and Northern California circuits, our horses and riders have made their mark. Consistent Top Fives and championship performances don't happen by accident — they're built at home, one ride at a time, with the kind of quiet dedication that shows up when it counts.
Region IV
Home is where the heart is, and Region IV — Oregon and Washington — is ours. We show up for our local circuit with the same energy we bring to nationals, celebrating every championship, every personal best, and every rider who digs deep and finds something new in themselves.
Open Shows
Every great show career starts somewhere. Open shows are where nerves meet excitement, where first-timers find their footing, and where the love of showing is born. Whether it's your first time in the pen or you're fine-tuning for bigger things, we celebrate every single step of the journey.
