Amanda
Amanda’s love for horses began at just six years old, when she started riding, showing and competing throughout her youth. As a teenager, she became involved with the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), while her family’s experience breeding and raising horses gave her an early appreciation for what goes into developing a horse from the very beginning.
After returning to major competition as an adult, Amanda became deeply involved in the AQHA show world beginning in 2022. Since then, her experience has grown to include performance horse ownership, acquisition, showing, breeding and development, working with respected trainers and horsemen in the industry.
Today, Amanda is bringing those experiences together to build a breeding program of her own, one centered around thoughtful crosses, exceptional minds and horses that can be enjoyed by both professionals and non-pros. It’s a program built with purpose and a clear vision for the generations to come.
Growing up, Amanda followed the legendary stallions featured in The Equine Chronicle and The Quarter Horse Journal, never imagining that one day, some of those very bloodlines would become part of her own stallion’s pedigree.
Tim
Tim didn’t grow up around horses, but he has taken a genuine interest in every part of the industry. He’s always researching, asking questions, and learning, and has become an important part of the decisions behind Kash and the breeding program. He brings a different perspective, asks good questions, and shares Amanda’s excitement for what’s ahead.
And when it came to Kash, Tim played a pretty important role from the very beginning. When Amanda sent him the details and asked what he thought, his answer was simple: “Yes.”

Scott Suggs | Trainer
Behind every great horse is a great horseman, and for Kash Money, that’s Scott Suggs. With a lifetime of experience working with and training great horses, Scott brings the kind of knowledge and feel that can only come from years spent in the barn and horse shows. He knows horses, and more importantly, he knows how to bring out the best in each one.
Scott has been instrumental in Kash’s development, overseeing his training and the countless details that keep him happy, confident, and at his best. From the everyday work at home to preparing for the biggest moments in the show pen, Scott’s steady approach and attention to detail are behind so much of what Kash has accomplished.
More than anything, Scott truly knows Kash. He believes in him, understands him, and cares about him like one of his own. Having someone with Scott’s experience and horsemanship behind Kash gives us tremendous confidence in his future and everything still to come.
