Anthony grew up riding horses every chance he got on his family's farm in the hills of West Virginia. Riding only bareback, he never even sat in a saddle until the age of 19. As he puts it, "we would ride up the mountains hugging the horses neck, then go down, reaching back holding on to the tail." Anthony’s current mount was a wild Mustang mare that he adopted in 2007, which he named Cherokee. Having never been touched by a human, he took his time in gaining her trust and training her, forming a bond that is still strong today. They have ridden together in the forests of Ohio, in the Cascade mountains of Washington state, and even through our little town, riding her alongside the drive through of the local Ice Cream shop. Anthony had two sons following in his boot steps, learning to ride since before they could walk. While living in Washington State, Anthony furthered his experience training on a ranch and puts his expertise to work at Timber Valley Ranch. He is also currently the operations manager and head hunting guide for Ohio Guide Outfitters, whose home base is Timber Valley Ranch.
