A recognized salesman, raconteur and teamster, Brett V. Barker has over 40 years of selling and training experience of people, horses and bird dogs.

His story has appeared in The Draft Horse Journal, Colorado Country Life and was featured on the Arizona Agritourism segment of America’s Heartland, a regular program on PBS and RFD TV. “Colonel” Barker is a certified bi-lingual professional auctioneer and a graduate of The World Wide College of Auctioneering.
