Dennis McCandless

Dennis McCandless has been involved in sports competition since he was 9 years old. Basketball, golf and football were his youth sports. He was starting center for Ragsdale High School's 1973 State co-champion football team. He spent many years coaching youth teams. Two of his sons played junior tennis with one going on to play 4 years of college.
​As Julie McCandless's father, horses came into the mix at an early age. He has been involved with horses for over 29 years. His father had a love for animals and along with his trailer companies, operated a cattle farm of up to 100 head of black Angus. All this mix of sports and farm experience resulted in a love for the horses, competition and the day to day care of our wonderful animals.
