Inductees Jeanne and Danny owners of DeBruce Ranch and long time residents of Norco, Ca. (in and around Norco since 1978')

   Jeanne has trained horses for over 34 years. For 15 years she trained American Quarter Horses racing at Los Alamitos , Ca. Also showing Quarters in western pleasure and trail as well as breaking young horses.

   We bred over 100 winners for the track as well as breaking and training many Quarter horses for pleasure and show.

   Jeanne was a student of professional horse trainer Mr.Charles Eddie for 9+ years. Her trainer rode, trained and bought horses and mules for the U.S. Army while inlisted in the Army Calvary during WWl. He also competed for the Army in the Olympics in Dressage and Jumping. Being one of a very small elite group of men in history to ever train a horse to canter backwards, a true horse technician would be an understatement!

 Jeanne incorporated the training techniques she learned from Mr. Eddie to compliment her evolving personal training style that has produced many well rounded Champion horses through the years. early 1980's Jeanne bought a molly mule she fell in love with. She bred, trained and sold Mules and Donkeys for several years after. Jeanne and her husband Danny have been improving their 2 1/2 acre training facility in Norco since purchasing it in 1985' Jeanne has trained dozens of people, all shapes and sizes to ride, drive, show and to learn to communicate and have a good relationship with their horses. You name a breed and she has probably trained it from Miniatures to Mustangs the rare Russian sport horse to the Akhaltekes. She's either ridden them, driven them, and shown them in hand. These days she's best known for her ablilty to train her Miniatures over the past 16 yrs. Also breeding some of that we think are the finest Miniature horses in the country, many in halter/ conformation. also breeding for movement if they have the ability for an event Jeanne can train it to succeed. She's trained Multipule National and Res. National Champions in Halter, Showmanship, Trail, Driving, Liberty. She's  inducted into the Norco Horse Town U.S.A.Hall of Fame for 5 National Champion Titles with her Miniature horses, as well as teaching her top students to become Champions with their horses as well. Jeanne is also being honored for training her then personal pleasure and trail mule, "Mary Ann" as well. Jeanne says, "Mary Ann is one of the finest mules she's ever trained!", winning World Champion Bishop Mule Days Western Pleasure Mule, as well as, Bishop Mule Days Hall of Fame. Congratulations Jeanne for a lifes work well done!
