Welcome to Eastside Ranch

30 plus years ago with our mutual love for horses,  Tony and I pursued our dream to own our own ranch. The saying goes "if your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough". Well, we were both nervous, but wanted it too bad not to try! Together we raised two fine young men that are talented Cowboys, hundreds of horses that have gone on to be great mounts for wonderful people in various disciplines, taught many people how to enjoy their equine partners and shown our own ranch raised horses to earn Local, Regional and National titles in the Cow Horse Industry.

Our family owned business is run on a 40 acre ranch, we are surrounded by Conservation Land, so there are thousands of miles of trails to ride with year long running water in the creek!
