Traded his horse for a Jeep and now rides for the AOW brand. He's wandered the West from Phoenix to Colorado ridin, ropin and wranglin. His new herd of Colorado tourists are sure to twist him up but, Concho says, "Ain't no filly I can't train".
Ridgerunner
Ridge Runner is the type of fella who'll go out in search of adventure. He got his name from dancing along the ridges of mountains (He literally runs across them).

Denied his true western heritage by parental prerogatives, Chisholm grew up to be a pathological 'Wanna-Be' Cowboy. Even as a tyke sportin' a mustache that even Sam Elliot could envy, this little 'drover' went through his schoolin' years (and then his career) wearing boots, spurs,and his favorite Stetson. Constantly yearning to open range , Chisholm finally came 'unhitched' from urban back east life and rode out to the ridge where the West commencies '. This 'Puncher' can daily - on heaps of history, or just give you a likely. As a serious ' Jeepin' fool', Chisholm loves to wander over yonder and can't stand fences. Give him the sage in bloom and plenty of room.Queen

Mustang Sally
I was born and raised right here in Colorado Springs!. I've ridden horses all my life and I currently own 2 mustangs (wild horses);hence my name, "Mustang Sally". My favorite place is the great outdoors and I love to show my guests our beautiful area. I especially enjoy camping with the stars overhead and singing cowboy songs around a campfire. Words of advice: Best to keep yer pistols holstered. I've been known to put a hole in a bullseye a MILE away!

Santa Fe
Santa Fe – born in Massachusetts, arrived in Colorado Springs with my wife & 3 children back in the Spring of ’73. Worked in a blacksmith’s shop shaping iron and shoeing horses (farrier). Became self-employed for 43 years in various occupations, always looking for my fortune. Bought an old gold mine, 10 acres and a cabin. Mine had been sprinkled with around $5,000 in real gold. Mine was full of pyrite (fool’s gold). It was a bad investment! Member of the Colorado Cowboys Church for Jesus. I took on with the AOW outfit as a jeep tour guide in the Spring of 2019.
