Rick Lauman

Rick Lauman is a native Oregonian who, in his more reckless years, rode broncs and bulls on the Northwest Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association circuit. Meeting Kitty, however, was enough of a thrill that he decided he no longer needed to ride roughstock to fulfill his desire for life on the edge. Rick's specialty is starting colts; he's the one who guides the young horses through their first rides in the round pen and out on the trails. Rick has a particular interest in Mounted Action Shooting events, and has won several competitions. He's also a saddlemaker, and several of his saddle projects are part of the working tack in the barn.

Josie Lauman

Josie is just 3 years old but has loved to ride even before she was born and she will still have a fit if we take off or try to leave her home! At the tender age of 2 she would demand to be put on a horse and would have her cap gun in her pocket!!
