Like his dad, Troy was born into and grew up in the horse buisness and it is no wonder he bacame a horse trainer, what with his father being a top trainer and his grandfather being a trainer. Troy was destined to this profession. Troy Grew up in Bothell Washington and Attended Bothell High School where he excelled in many differetnt sports and was an 3 Sport Letterman and was a starter on the Varsity Football Team for 3 years. Troy started riding at age 3 and rode until he was 10, he started showing at age 7 and over those years competed sucsessfully in equitation, 5 gaited and pleasure. When Troy was 10 he felt the need for speed and put riding on hold to master his new love, driving Road Horse's and Pony's. At age 10 he was at the time the youngest person showing Roadhorse's in the country. He showed Roadhorse's for 10 years winning up and down the West Coast and in the Northwest beating trainers and exhibitors three time his age. Troy and his horse, Accelerator, where undefeatd in 1990 and 1991 with wins at The Cow Palace, Monterey Springfest, Santa Barbara National and NWSA Fall Classic. Troy took a break from horses and showing in the early 90's to serve his country in the US Air Force where he attained the rank of Sr. Airman. Also during this time he attended College at the University Of Illinois, where he was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi Fraturnaty. Due to an injury and military cutbacks Troy was given an early discharge. After an Honorable Discharge from the Air Force Troy returned home and got back into horses helping out his dad. In the end Horses and the horse business lured him back, in 1994 Troy turned professional and went to work full time for his father as an Assistant Trainer at Marywood Farm. At Marywood Farm Troy got the opportunity to work along side his dad and ride and drive many top horses as well as break, train and show many young horse's due to Marywood's breeding program. At Marywood Farm Troy got to hone and master his horsemanship and training skills. In 1999 when Marywood Farm closed after 20 years in business, Troy ressurrected Corbett Stables along with his parents Les and Andrea. Today Troy has built a successfull family friendly buisness that is showing competative horse's and rider's throughout the Northwest, Canada, and California.
