Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ
and preserving western traditions.
Horsemanship
Stockmanship
Ranch Roping
At Top Hand Clinics we believe that preserving our cowboy traditions goes hand in hand with praising God for the life we live. And sometimes sharing the Gospel is best done on the back of a horse.
Our clinics focus on intertwining faith, horsemanship and real-life ranching skills. Whether a seasoned horseman or a new rider, it is our mission to host clinics offering opportunities for each participant to grow their skills and their relationship with God.
When they observed the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed and recognized that they had been with Jesus.

Our Beginning
Born from a prayer of gratitude Top Hand Clinics started in 2018. It was Kye Rieff’s prayer to find a way to give glory to God for the gifts and talents bestowed upon his family that led to the idea of creating a “cowboy clinic”. The calling was clear- to share his faith with those who were eager & willing to preserve the cowboy way of life.
With the goal of sharing horsemanship, stockmanship and ranch roping skills amidst a world of feed trucks and calf tables the first clinic blazed a trail that led to forming a non-profit. Today Top Hand Clinics has hosted events in 10 states and continues to preserve the cowboy way of life while sharing the Gospel of Jesus.
"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only.”
James 1:22
Our Future
Continuing to Spread the Gospel
As Top Hand Clinics has grown, so has our calling.
2025 will be the first year hosting a Youth Top Hand Clinic. We are proud of our youth who have stepped up to run the clinic with the help of our instructors.
We are going further than ever before, serving our mission in new states. It is our hope that we continue to reach cowboys and cowgirls looking for authentic ranching experiences and to learn more about the Gospel.
