Tyson was born and raised on a busy, suburban street in Bountiful, Utah, but that didn’t stop him from becoming a cowboy. Tyson always loved the idea of farm life and owning his own horse. Being a determined person he decided one day to buy a horse, since he wasn’t getting any younger. As you might imagine this included many learning opportunities and a few bruises. Fast forward a few years while looking for a location to board his horse, he met Garrett. At the time neither of them knew that this connection would lead to Double Diamond Hill Ranch as we know it today. Being someone who did not grow up with horses Tyson loves encouraging more suburban or closet cowboys to follow their dreams. If he isn’t working to tell more people about what we do at DDH Ranch, he’s probably playing guitar or hanging out with his young family.
Biscuit is a beautiful palomino Quarter Horse. He was born around 2002, making him a senior with Chief. Biscuit can be a little bashful, but a caring hand and some understanding (and maybe a carrot) goes a long way for him! Biscuit enjoys being brushed and enjoys a good sun bath in the middle of the day!
Born in 1999, Chief is our oldest resident. Chief is a bay Missouri Fox Trotter. Fox Trotters have a smooth gait that is easy to learn on. Even though he is older, he loves to “go to work” and be around the kids. Chief is gentle and kind with much love to give to our students!
Cholla is a bay roan Quarter Horse. She was born in 2006 and has given birth to a few babies in her year. Even though her baby days are behind her, she enjoys hanging out with the younger horses we have here. She loves to get a bath on hot summer days!
Denise was born in 2011. She is a chestnut Quarter Horse with a little sass in there! She, like Cholla, has been a great momma before. She enjoys herding cattle with our intermediate and advanced riders! She spends her days with Chief, who is her best friend! (Keep an eye on social media for her newest baby!)
Maverick is a blue roan Quarter Horse. We don’t know his birthday but he was born sometime in 2011-2012. Maverick loves to be around the kids and show off his fancy moves to anyone! Maverick takes great care of the students he is with while having a little go if the students are up for it!
Born sometime between 2011-2012, Goose is a dun Arabian. He has some spunk and loves to go so he needs a patient and calm student to help him maintain his energy and use it in a positive manner. He loves to follow Maverick and eat as much food as he can possibly get!
Reno is a grulla Mustang, meaning he was caught in the wild then adopted. He was born sometime around 2018. He loves to show off what he is learning at the moment and is spunky and goofy! Reno loves people and loves to make sure you know it! He lets us know that the grass really is greener on the other side by trying to sneak under the fence! (We won’t tell him that he can’t fit under there.)
Born around 2018, Reina is a bay Mustang. We got her and Reno together. She is a fast learner and likes to show off her fancy moves! She loves to run and share the feeling with her riders!
