Miner Ranch grew out of a working relationship built around horses and trust. Kylie returned to South Dakota after the loss of her mother, carrying forward a deep respect for horses shaped by equine-facilitated learning and connection. Chris came to the ranch with more than 30 years of experience as a trainer and farrier, answering what began as a simple Facebook ad. That farrier-client relationship quickly became a business partnership—and soon after, a life together.
Together, Chris and Kylie bring complementary strengths to Miner Ranch. Chris provides the hands-on horsemanship, training, and farrier expertise, while Kylie focuses on program development, education, and purpose-driven growth. United by shared values—and a mutual appreciation for a mare named Gracie—they are building a ranch rooted in sound horses, honest work, and meaningful experiences for buyers, clients, and community alike.
