Post Quarter Horses is a family-owned, full-service horse marketing and training business located in Avella, PA. The business was conceived in 1987 when John Post, a business representative for 798 Pipeline Union with over 35 years experience showing, breeding, and

raising horses as well as beef and dairy cattle farming experience and his step-daughter, Lori L. Gordon, a television ad executive with degrees in Business and Communications decided to combine their horse expertise and business backgrounds to form Post Quarter Horses. Initially, the business was focused entirely on horse marketing. But, after successfully establishing Sales Consignment and Brokerage Listing Services, it became evident that intertwined with the ever-growing sales services surfaced a demand for training, lessons, appraisals, and inquiries to judge. Today Post Quarter Horses is a full-service horse marketing and training business inclusive of Training/Conditioning, Show Hauling and Coaching, Sales Consignment and Brokerage Listing Services, Riding Lessons, Appraisals and Evaluations, and Carded Show Judging. Our students have captured Circuit Championships, Youth Team Qualifications, AQHA Register of Merits and Superior Awards, AQHA Open, Amateur and Youth Championships, Numerous AQHA All Around Awards, AQHA Open Amateur and Youth Champions, State 4-H Show Championships, Maturity and Futurity Championships, All-American Youth Show Championships; and Congress and AQHA Youth, Amateur, Amateur Select and Open World Show Qualifiers and Top Ten Placings. Lori Gordon oversees the management and marketing of the operation inclusive of training, stable management, employee supervision, telemarketing, sales and promotions, and show coaching and judging. Carolyn Colvin has been full time horse trainer at Post Quarter Horses since 1997. She is a graduate of Findlay College with an Associate Degree in Equestrian Studies and has been training since 1984.
