Over 1,000 horses and 30 years of training experience has laid a solid foundation for proven success in the Haugen Horsemanship program. Raised in western North Dakota, Phil grew up knowing the value of a well-trained equine partner and the importance of creating a foundation built on trust and respect.
Phil competed in the calf roping, team roping, and saddle bronc riding in the PRCA for 20 years, and is now a PRCA Gold Card member. He has qualified for the PRCA Badlands Circuit Finals and the Prairie Circuit Finals in these respective events. Winning at both ends of the arena led Phil to win the coveted Linderman Award in 1989. In 2021, he was inducted into the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame.
His training program is focused on those fundamentals and his keen understanding of how to progress a horse in its training while mentally keeping that horse in a trusting, secure and confident state of mind.
