Meet our family!
Rebecca (The Horse Woman)
Rebecca has always had the dream to ride and compete on horses but has discovered her natural ability to work with and train them. Always helping friends’ problem solve, training Hawk our colt from 5 months old and competing in endurance and competitive trail has allowed her to gain a broad knowledge base. She is currently working her way towards becoming an expert horseman through a certification program. Even though she would love to work with horses full time, she has to give that status to her position with Davita as a revenue operations specialist and keeping the house running smoothly.
Derek (The Pilot)
Derek knows nothing about horses and exemplifies why husbands need “husband horses.” When Rebecca is able to force him on the back of a horse, he goes no faster than required. He is, however, an exceptional pilot that has served over 20-years in the US Army. He is Rebecca’s handyman on the ranch and support system. As a family endeavor, the Vess Ranch is a dream come true for him.
Emmalin (The assistant)
Emma is a natural at everything she does. She is also her mother’s shadow. She has grand aspirations of becoming a veterinarian when she grows up and is well on her way to making it come true. Her fearlessness and thirst for adventure have made her a youthful cowgirl able to handle many different horse personalities.
Brody (Dirt Bike Rider)
Brody is the dirt bike rider and want to be stunt pilot of the family. When he’s not riding his dirt bike you can find him glued to YouTube and eating snacks. His passion for the ranch is slowly growing. He has recently started obstacle challenge events on Mac (see Our Horses for bio) and is eager to earn his first buckle.
