Kim Diercks + Oneluckysonofagun
Between showing reining horses as a professional, coaching clients in Non Pro competition, and developing national caliber prospects, Kim Diercks has established herself as a respected and successful trainer within the reining horse industry.

Since 1986, Kim has been showing reining horses in NRHA, AQHA and APHA competition. She has excelled at every level of the industry, from 3 year old futurities through USET events. Diercks now has over $254,000 in NRHA lifetime earnings and is a multiple NRHA Open Futurity Finalist, NRHA Open Derby Finalist, and NRBC Finalist.

In breed competion, Diercks has won several National and World tiles in the Morgan and Paint horse associations, and has garnered 2 US National Arabian Championships and numerous top 10s.  As a respected professional, the Wisconsin trainer has been featured in training articles in numerous national equine magazines, including the NRHA Reiner.
