Howdy Folks! Now you can meet most of Stagecoach Trails ranch hands. At the ranch we have wranglers, a cook, and a lot of family members that do everything and anything they need to do to make your stay at the ranch as pleasant as it can possibly be. Here they are!

Description

Dan makes sure the ranch is always running smoothly by handling all of the maintenance and landscaping work on the property. Carrie coordinates the entire horseback riding program, visits with guests, and helps serve meals, along anything else that can make your stay at the ranch more enjoyable.

Wrangler - Craig has been at the ranch for a many years now leading our guests on their trail rides with his best girl Darby. He has many years of leading trail rides for all ages and abilities. He has spent most of his life riding horses and living on the trails. He is fully of jokes, one liners, and cowboy poetry.

Vicki is Dan and Carrie's daughter.  Her husband Tony and their daughter Raygen have made the ranch their home. Vicki helps around the ranch by cooking, cleaning and entertaining the guests.  She is responsible for all the yummy desserts the guests crave.  Tony is our full time cook. He spends most of his time preparing all of the delicious meals.  Now that Raygen is 1 1/2, she can be found running around the ranch and socializing with the guests.

Amy is Dan and Carrie's daughter and is the inspiration for the ranch. You will see her buzzing around in her wheelchair wherever the action is. She also will participate in arena riding with other guests.  She is the ranch supervisor and makes sure that all the staff is doing their job.

Jeremy, Jodi, Sophie, & Aubrey Rynders

Jeremy is Dan & Carrie's son.  His wife Jodi and their daughters, Sophie and Aubrey, have moved back to the family's home state of Wisconsin back in 2008 after living at the ranch since it was built.  Although they do not live at the ranch, Jodi still handles all of the accounting and reservations by phone and email while Jeremy still handles the marketing and website for the ranch. FYI - When you call our 866-444-4471 it rings through to Jodi based in WI (central time).

Peggy is Carrie's childhood friend from Wisconsin that comes out to the ranch with her husband Ed four or five times a year to help out.  They help out with housekeeping, kitchen work, horses, activities, and just visiting with guests. 

Tux is our Border Collie who we've had since the ranch opened its doors.  He tags along on all of the trail rides. He is also very playful and will chase a stick all day long if somebody keeps throwing it for him. Kids love him!  Once you start playing, you'll be stuck playing fetch the whole time you are visiting.

Reggie is our West Highland Terrier who is 7 years old as of August. He loves to get into "trouble" with the other dogs and is very fun to watch and play with.

Gus is a Chocolate Lab. He is over 8 years old now and he loves to play with kids and the other dogs (when he is not sleeping).   He is always following Carrie around the ranch.

Opey is a Golden Retriever and will be 6 years old in October.  He loves to play with kids and go on trail rides.  He follows Amy around in her wheelchair as well as Dan.

Phoenix is Vicki & Tony's Golden Retriever.  He was raised at the ranch.  He is glued to their sides and will be seen hanging out in the horses' water troughs or with a stuffed animal toy in his mouth.

Shadow is has been at the ranch since the beginning and can often be found lounging around the Lodge.

We have 2 goats at the ranch - Ginger and her baby girl Edith. They have been with us since April 2003.
