The Cowboy and The Dressage Star
Thursday, June 20, 2019 | Mary Phelps
When Belinda Nairn took a trip to Jackson Hole in 1990 to go on a horse packing trip she met Bill Wertman who was running Bear Creek Camp. Those who know him, knew that it would take someone very special to drag him out of the hills.
Enter Belinda, and the rest is history. He finally loaded up his truck, told his dog Maynard to load up, and headed east.It was not long after that Bill went from wearing cowboy boots to clogs.

Together they have been running one of the longest and most successful Import and training operations in America.
Since 1983, Inspo has been at the forefront of importing top quality Dutch Warmbloods for Dressage, Hunter/Jumpers and Breeding. We have recently expanded our European contacts so we can also find top PRE/Andalusians for riders of every level. Over the years, horses imported or sold by Inspo have won countless Local, Regional, and National Championships, and have competed in Olympic Games, Pan American Games, and World Championships.
Owners Belinda Nairn-Wertman and her husband Bill Wertman spend between 2 and 3 months a year in Europe looking for perfect matches for riders of every level, and make every effort to guarantee a successful partnership. Inspo has also been instrumental in importing some of the most influential Breeding Stallions and Mares that have ever stood in the U.S.
