The Hudson family – John and Troy

                       

John Hudson was born and spent the early years of his life in the state of Tennessee.
He and his family moved to Ocala, Florida 35 years ago where they started H H Hudson Horse Transport. John has been in the horse business for most of his life, in Tennessee and then Florida.  He practiced equine dentistry for many years, until going full time in the horse business.
He started roping over 30 years ago after building an arena on the farm. Roping has become his passion!

John began training horses for the general public, friends and other roping buddies and this soon led to buying and selling rope horses. He is currently not training any outside horses, so that he can focus on buying and selling. He travels extensively to look for the best rope horses that are available. Over the years, John has bought and sold many quality rope horses and he stands behind every horse he sells. He keeps between 20 and 30 horses for sale at all times.
You will not see prices for his horses on his website, as John feels this is a private matter between the buyer and the seller, not everyone in cyber space or in a client’s neighborhood.

John is a highly rated header and heeler and he regularly competes at USTRC and NTRL competitions, jackpots and at local rodeos.  He has competed at almost every major team roping event in the southeast. He also gives roping lessons and he has a lighted arena on the farm and ropes everyday, weather permitting.  John produces two major ropings each year, in April and August. These are held locally at the Southeast Livestock Pavilion in Ocala. He also produces several roping competitions from October to March that are  held at the family owned farm in Ocala. 

Troy has been roping competitively since he was 9 years old, when he won the Team roping event at the Florida Junior Rodeo championship with Brandon Rice.       
In 2006, he won the Florida High School Rodeo state championship in calf roping.               
In 2007, Troy and his partner Joshua Torres won the Florida High School Rodeo team roping event, taking them to National High School Rodeo Finals in Springfield, IL. At these rodeo finals in Springfield Troy and Joshua won the National Championship in team roping. Troy is currently practicing  Equine dentistry and jackpoting.
