What does someone who grew up on a Navajo Reservation next to the Grand Canyon do when life on the Reservation is all they have ever known? Jeremy left, moved to the city and obtained a Masters Degree in Physical Therapy! Once he started on his Doctoral Degree he decided he missed a life around horses and applied at White Stallion. His life history and experience has created quite an impression here at the ranch!

Later in the podcast Jeremy shares a story about his 105 year old grandfather who still rides and throws hay along with an interesting alarm clock grandpa used to wake him up one morning. Imagine growing up on over 1400 acres and having between 30 and 50 dogs at any given point in time!

In today's episode, Steven sits down with Russell and teases new stories about the world of dude and guest ranching today and where Russell thinks its heading. Spending time at a dude ranch is all about someone having their own personal adventure and getting in touch with their inner cowboy.
