Ryan and Katie Crawford are proud to call themselves
Sheridan County residents.
Ryan was born and raised in Jackson, Wyoming. Being the son
of a Wyoming Game Warden, Ryan spent his youth in the backcountry of Northwest
Wyoming where he enjoyed hunting and fishing alongside his father. He learned
to start colts and worked for a couple outfitters. He led summer pack trips
into the Teton Wilderness, and in the fall, he wrangled horses and guided
hunters. Ryan obtained his professional guides license through the Wyoming
Outfitters and Guides Association. After high school, when Ryan wasn’t in the
mountains he attended Sheridan College. After graduating from Sheridan College,
he moved to Montana where he went to work training horses professionally. Ryan trains cutting horses, cow horses,
reining horses, as well as ranch and rope horses. He is an NCHA, NRCHA, and
NRHA professional trainer.
Katie was born and raised in Northern Minnesota, where she
would frequent the custom-built homes by her father’s construction company. She
enjoyed watching and learning from her father about home design, new
construction, and remodels of older homes at a young age. She also found a love
for horses and livestock being raised on her parent’s commercial cattle and
registered horse farm.
In her early years, Katie moved to Nebraska and then to
Montana where she worked in the banking industry for a while. Missing and
longing to be surrounded by livestock and the mountainous countryside, she
switched her career to working for a registered angus cattle ranch. There she
worked in the office but also proved her hard work out on the ranch helping
calve, brand, gather cattle in the mountains, as well as haying.
Together, Ryan and Katie have run their own performance
horse breeding and training program, as well as their own yearling cattle
operation in Montana and Northern Colorado.
Today, Ryan and Katie enjoy raising their two children and
watching them pursue their dreams of farming and horses. When they are not in
the office working with real estate clients, they are riding performance horses
with their daughter or focused on their son’s passion of farming and
construction.
With a background of construction, banking, farming,
ranching, small business ownership, and the cattle and equine industry; Ryan
and Katie look forward to working with all buying and/or selling clients. They
believe in honesty and integrity and are excited to meet you and expand as a team
in your real estate needs!
