About the Warm Up Series

The Warm-Up Series is a series of three reining shows and one futurity hosted by the Extraco Events Center in Waco Texas. Our goal is to provide the contestants with a venue to show and school their horses. Reiners are constantly training in order to increase their skill, like so many equestrian events, you can never know it all. Cash and gift awards won during competition at the Warm-Up Series always add to the competitiveness and fun! Join us for the next show and you will see what it’s all...

Meet the Producers

Meet the producers of the Warm Up Series, reining s Dave and Milly Archer along with son Mark and Steve King the finance and media director.

A Canadian native, Dave Archer grew up in the city although he always knew he was going to live in the country.He rode paper routes all week just so he would have enough money to ride on the weekends. Wanting to ride more, he and his friend devised a plan to allow them to ride at night using the wooden bits they made. They would sneak out and ride in the dark until the horses chewed through the improvised bits. Once it broke in two the ride was over.

“I think the guy who owned those horses used to wonder why they were so tired all day long,” Archer said with a grin.
Married 44 years, Dave and Milly moved to Michigan in the 1980’s and then later to Richmond, Texas about 40 miles west of Houston. Dave and Milly have four grown children, Stephen, Cheryl, Susan and Mark and numerous grandchildren.

Thanks to all of you who have supported us throughout the years, your participation and dedication have made the Warm Up Series what they are today.

Mark and his wife Nicole, and their children Felix and Kyla
