We have a true passion for performance.

The Team.

Suzanne Haberek came to Fire Run Farm from the great state of New York as one of New York's premier horse trainers and equitation instructors in the Morgan horse industry. A renowned clinician for many years doing specialized clinics all across the United States, she was recently named Horse World People’s Choice Best of 2022 Equitation Instructor, and we are thrilled that she has been recognized for this honor.

Involved with horses all her life, Suzanne owned and operated a large training & lesson program in New York before taking the plunge and moving across the country to Fire Run. Suzanne's theory of training is to create a bond between rider, horse, and trainer and Her belief in this theory of training has brought her and her riders many huge successes including many World and Reserve World Championships. Suzanne is one of handful of instructor/trainers in the entire history of the Grand National & World Championship Morgan Horse Show to coach a Saddle Seat Equitation rider to the Saddle Seat Equitation Triple Crown win, and she accomplished this with the youngest rider to ever achieve this goal.

Suzanne is the only Washington trainer/instructor who is an active part of the USEF equitation committee.

Suzy has been named:

• Horse World People’s Choice Instructor of the Year (twice)

• UPHA Chapter 14 Instructor of the Year

• Assistant Coach of TEAM Morgan in Hunt Seat

• WINNING Coach of TEAM Morgan USA in Saddle Seat vs. South Africa team

Juan Pablo Gonzales - came to Fire Run Farm in 1996 at just 16 years of age. He has worked along side many great Trainers here at Fire Run and has become one of the most talented and loved members of the Fire Run Team. His expertise is widespread from Foaling out all of the mares to starting youngsters and maintaining the show horses. We consider Jaun to be an extremely important part of Fire Run but even more than that, Juan is family! Juan has a lovely wife, Consuelo and three handsome sons - Rafel, Julian and Juan Sebastian

Olyvia is another east coast transplant to the pacific northwest, having come to Fire Run Farm via stints at both Taylor River Farm/Great Island Riding Academy in Falls River, NH. Originally from Plymouth, Massachusetts, Olyvia is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire and made many victory passes during her junior exhibitor years with her beautiful mare, Deliver The Dream GCH. Olyvia is not the only family member with horsey tendencies, as her sister, Michelle Quinlisk, is also an avid horsewoman with an enviable show record. She enjoys downhill skiing when she’s not in the barn.

 Kurt and Teri Rumens first opened Fire Run Farm in 1996 as a private Morgan breeding farm and show facility for their family and a few select clients. They always imagined opening up the facility to new families and sharing their love of Morgans with others, but it was not until their children became adults and started their own lives that they came face-to-face with what to do about the future of the farm. 

The Rumens have always had the elite facility and the beautiful horses. Now, with Suzanne, they have the ability to bring fresh faces not only to the farm, but into the Morgan arena. For the past several years, Teri and Suzanne have worked in perfect harmony to spread the word about Fire Run Farm’s programs.

Their passion is obvious and energy infectious. Don’t be surprised if you leave the conversation with a deeper appreciation and love for the Morgan.
