Our Story
From Dream to Reality - A chance to serve our students and the community. The Bright Ranch began as a dream. When we started our horse business, I thought it was my chance, as an adult, to build my dream of how our life was supposed to be, to provide my wife Kristin and I the opportunity to raise our family with plenty of room to play and animals to care for. Somewhere along the way, I realized it wasn't about what I wanted, it was about what others needed. Simply put, I learned that I had the ability to help others pursue their dreams through horsemanship education.

Over the years, I found that not only did my clients become better horsepersons, they also experienced incredible growth in their personal lives. I discovered that horses are teachers of great truths, and working with horses forces us to confront many issues that are relevant to our daily lives, at home and in the business world. As our business grew over the years, we expanded our offerings to meet the needs of our students and the community.
Beginning with Horse Training and the Horsemanship Academy, we provided our clients with mounts and instruction. As their abilities advanced, we added more diversity of training. We added the weekend seminars to provide practice and exposure to different riding disciplines. We added horse pre-purchase evaluations to help our clients find the special horse just for them.

Next we addressed the problem of saddles.
Our clients had horses, but were having a hard time finding well-fitting saddles for their horses. Bright Ranch Saddlery was born. We now offer high quality, handmade saddles at reasonable prices.
Our Leadership Program is the manifestation of another dream. Business is becoming aware that their most valuable resource is the people that work for them. My vision, now a reality, is that through the use of an equestrian setting, managers can learn new and effective methods for dealing with their personnel. Horses are great teachers. By bringing executives out into the ranch setting, we allow them to take a good look at themselves and how they relate to others, all the while having a good time.

It is a joy to watch a group of people who have never ridden before, be working cattle on horseback by the end of the day. They return to work refreshed and perhaps wiser for the experience. -
