Jeffrey Pait

Jeffrey Pait has been Trent Searles trainer for three years, and Trent explains, “In the three years I have been with Jeffrey, he made me grow as a person in the arena and out of the arena. He has made me a better showman and more confident. I would not be where I am without his help.” Trent looks up to him, and so do many others. “He treats everyone with amazing kindness, including his horses. He won’t quit until everything complete and perfect in his eyes. He is one of the few people I know that devotes all of his time and energy into showing horses, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.”

At the 2019 Congress, Trent showed his two-year-old mare, Shes That Radiant, in the halter. “Jeffrey had her the best she had ever looked. We went out and showed in the two-year-old mares, and we won that class. We then went on to be Grand as a two-year-old against all the aged mares. I didn’t know how big of a deal that was, but it made his career to Jeffrey. I could not have won without Jeffrey’s help and his ability to train horses the way he does.”
