The season might be over, but we're not done with our employee spotlight series yet!

This week's employee spotlight is on Anthony Robert St. Pierre from our kitchen team!

As our Chef Assistant, Anthony is in his first season at Red Horse Mountain Ranch and is already making each meal memorable with his dedication to high-quality, delicious food. He loves being part of a team that works together to create exceptional dining experiences for our guests.

Anthony enjoys the variety of activities that nature offers here at the ranch and the supportive atmosphere created by a team that genuinely cares about ensuring guests have a fantastic time. A highlight for him this season was riding a horse for the first time since he was two years old and having the opportunity to work under talented culinary mentors.

When he’s not in the kitchen, you might find Anthony taking in the scenery on a scenic ride or heading over to Jamshack. He came to Red Horse Mountain Ranch to explore a new part of the country, expand his kitchen skills, and discover more about his future goals. He’s happy to say he’s accomplished all three!

A fun fact about Anthony: before joining us, he spent two seasons working on sailing schooners in coastal Maine. He ended up at the ranch on a whim after looking for areas with minimal light pollution to enjoy the night skies. We’re lucky to have Anthony on our team this season. Thank you for all your hard work, Anthony!

This Labor Day weekend, we bring you a special two-for-one employee spotlight with Matt and Viv!

It's Matt and Viv's sixth season working in the Wrangler's department at Red Horse Mountain Ranch, and their journey here has been nothing short of extraordinary. Their love for horseback riding and the deep connection they share with the horses are what keep them coming back year after year. Yet, as they say, it's the countless small joys and the unique, serene beauty of the valley that truly make Red Horse special.

For anyone considering a job at Red Horse, their advice is heartfelt: "Most people come here thinking it will be a cool experience—and it absolutely is. But it can be so much more. It's about community, peace, and a simple yet fulfilling way of life. Don’t try to change it, just embrace it."

When it comes to memories, there are simply too many to count. Every moment at Red Horse is a treasure to them. And if you’re curious about their favorite horse, well, that’s a secret they aren’t ready to share!

Their life philosophy is perfectly summed up by a quote from Mark Twain: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

A fun fact about this dynamic duo? They’ve been fulfilling a dream of homesteading, building their own cabin, and living in a canvas outfitter tent for the past six years. This unique life experience has taught them resilience and the true essence of living fully.

We’re incredibly fortunate to have Matt and Viv with us—they bring a wealth of knowledge, passion, and positive energy to the team, making Red Horse Mountain Ranch a more vibrant and connected community. Thanks to both of you for being such wonderful people!
