Silver Fiddle Ranch

About Me

I love managing and riding my horses, living in the country, running the ranch, and growing my knowledge about everything in which I'm involved - especially horses. Horses have been a part of my life for the last 16 years (nope, didn't have the opportunity when I was a kid) and sharing what I do with others of like mind is just about the best part of being at Silver Fiddle Ranch! At our ranch, we don't get hung up on method nor on trying to figure out who's the best horse or horseman. We just make sure everything we do is playful and fun for everyone involved, including our horses. Because it's really all about them! And we especially don't try to take ourselves too seriously!
