Riding horses together and living the western lifestyle is how Wylie & his wife Kimberley love to spend time together when Wylie is not on the road. They cherish a life among horses and can be found most every day on their ranch in Dusty, WA working their string of colts and show horses. Their robust life includes competing in NCHA cuttings across the Northwest
