Luke Brock, originally from Franklin, TN, began riding at age 8 at a Quarter Horse breeding farm. He honed his skills breaking colts before joining the IHSA team at Western Kentucky University. Seeking new challenges, Luke moved to Colorado to earn an AAS in Horse Training and Management from Lamar Community College, followed by working with several cow horse trainers out West. Returning to Middle Tennessee, Luke completed a Bachelor's in Animal Science and a Master's in Equine Education from Middle Tennessee State University, where he was active on the IHSA, Stock Horse, and Horse Judging teams. His time at MTSU also included an opportunity to travel to England as an AQHA clinician. Now, as the Head Coach at Morehead State University, he leads the Western and Hunt Seat IHSA teams and has established a ranch horse team. Since returning to MSU, he has coached eight nationally ranked riders, including a 2024 National Champion in Ranch Riding, and secured funding for undergraduate research.
