About Big Cottonwood Creek

At Big Cottonwood Creek Equine, our story is rooted in passion and dedication. Led by Laurie, a widowed rancher with over six decades of life experience, we embody a commitment to excellence in every aspect of our work.

Meet Laurie

I’m a widow and I’m 68 years old. I love working outside fixing fences, mowing my yard and pastures. I also grow and bale my own hay.

To sell square bales to horse people, I make sure I fertilize my hay pastures as well as spray for weeds. I only use safe ingredients to protect all animals, pastures, and our water supply. I raise cows on my ranch.

I can rope but need more practice. I am loyal, detailed, and a responsible person. My love for all animals even has me moving turtles out of harm’s way during mating season when I see them trying to cross the road.

My Story

I have had horses most of my life. My love for horses started when I was just a toddler as my father trained Tennessee Walking Horses. I own 6 horses, 3 donkeys, 3 dogs, and 5 barn cats. I competed in timed events, speed, flags, etc. I was on an equine drill team for 5 years.

I am currently competing in sorting, penning, and Cowgirl challenges. I trail ride with friends as often as I can. I give my own horses/donkeys their annual shots except rabies. I also worm my horses/donkeys.

My horses/donkeys get their feet trimmed every 6 weeks and their teeth floated once a year. My horses are fed once a day and on pasture all the time. I have a veterinarian assistant certificate. I know when to call a veterinarian when it is an injury that I cannot take care of myself. As I own a working ranch I know how to care for animals.

🏇 My Vision

My vision is to provide clients with the best care of their horses and other animals with no worries while they are on vacation or out of town.

I struggled with getting someone capable of really taking care of my horses while I was out of town. My love for animals, especially horses, has driven me to open Big Cottonwood Creek Equine to help others while on vacation or out of town. I want clients to be totally worry free while I’m taking care of their horses and other animals.
