They moved to Washington in 1998 to pursue the outdoor lifestyle that Washington’s mountains and water provide.

Both Laura and Zack are responsible for daily care of breeding stock, foals, and boarders. Both have the goal of providing excellent service to our boarders, and to those seeking to breed or to buy a Paint horse.
