A little about DSR

A home, first. A ranch, always.

Desert Sage Ranch is my home, and the horses are a big part of what makes it one. I breed and raise Gypsy Vanners with strong bone, generous feather, and kind, willing dispositions.

I’m an amateur competitor and a lifelong student of the horse. My approach is built on curiosity, confidence, and giving each horse the time they need.

Remembering Frilenis Kimbo

A legacy we carry forward.

Losing Kimbo left an enormous space at Desert Sage Ranch. His story continues through his offspring, including Bit and Birdie, and through the place he’ll always have here.

Part of our story. Always.
