About Us

Laura Hewett

Founder

With years of experience in riding and competing Laura continues her involvement with horses through the creation of Wild Horse Ranch. Laura always had a vision of creating a ranch where people and horses could come together to make a difference in each other’s life for the better. Laura’s exposure to horses is deep rooted and profound and has been in her family for generations. Laura’s love for horses started at a very young age, when she was old enough her parents bought her a pony and she was able to join the local pony club. This instilled a lifetime love for horses. Laura is an accomplished rider achieving great success in horse shows and 3 day eventing. She has taught both her children how to ride and they are actively involved in helping her run the ranch. Laura currently rehabilitates and trains the rescue horses that come to our facility. Laura hopes to educate people on how they can help horses in need and how they can give back to a worthy cause.
