Grant has an extensive rodeo background over the last 15 years ranging from bull riding, to bronc riding, team roping, tie-down roping, and two man ranch sorting. He looks forward to teaching the next generation basic horsemanship in a fun, family environment.
Heather Fatzinger
Heather comes to the ranch as Director of Operations. She is a registered veterinary technician with over 15 years experience in the equine industry and currently works for Kalmbach Feeds Inc. Her favorite activity is trail riding and ranch sorting. She would like to bring more cattle events to this area, and looks forward to creating a family friendly barn welcoming all disciplines.
