HOME TRAINER
Matt Hogan grew up on a Thoroughbred farm in Versailles, KY and realized from a young age that he would always work with horses. During his early years, Matt gained tremendous experience raising Thoroughbreds, from foaling mares to preparing yearlings for the sales, and everything in between. During high school and college, Matt gained invaluable experience working with Dr. Doug Byars in the Internal Medicine Unit at Hagyard’s Equine Medical Institute.
After attending college at the University of Kentucky, Matt worked for Clifford Barry at Pin Oak Stud to gain experience handling stallions. From there, he worked for Graham Motion in Fair Hill, MD to get more experience with horses in training. Next, Matt traveled abroad to Ireland and completed the Irish National Stud Program. While there, Matt worked for Bill Dwan at Castlebridge Stud, prepping sale horses for all the major European sales. He then worked for Con Marnane of Bansha House Stables, breaking yearlings and training horses for the 2-year-old sales.
Returning home to Central Kentucky in 2009, Matt privately broke and pre-trained horses for many local breeders and boarding farms. Matt’s broad experience in both the U.S. and Europe give him a unique perspective on starting young horses. With the increased demand for support facilities of Thoroughbreds racing in the state of Kentucky, Matt and his family opened a new boarding/training and rehabilitation center: Matt Hogan Stables. Matt and his wife, Jessica live at Diamond A Farm with their three children Eddie, Adrianna, and John. The entire family shares a love and passion for horse racing.
