About Us
Barry Wilkins, Squair Deal’s manager, grew up on family ranches in northern California. He was taught to deliver,
raise, and care for hogs, sheep, beef & dairy cattle, and horses. He was very active in 4-H, showing and judging
animals. He studied business and facility management at Linfield College, Oregon State University and the
University of Iowa. He moved to Colorado in
1994 and began his business career. He was a service and sales
representative for 10 years. He excelled in customer service and learned the plumbing and electrical trades. In
1999, because Barry had enjoyed working with horses and had always wanted to own his own business, he and a
former partner built a full care horse boarding facility. It was in operation until it was sold seven years later. Barry
has bred, foaled, raised and broken over ten of his own horses in recent years. At Squair Deal, Barry cares for the
horses as if they were his own, but always with the client in mind. Barry stays in touch with the changing world of
horses in a variety of ways including being a member of the Conifer Chamber of Commerce.
Squair Deal Riding Center
Both Barry and Roz have enjoyed the challenge of rebuilding a long neglected property into a premier boarding
facility. They have received many compliments relating to the improvement of the property and the care of the horses.  
They hope you’ll come see the facility and want your horse to stable at Squair Deal.
