Bailey & Garrett Keaney
Bailey Keaney was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska where she started her career with animals at the young age of 14.

While in Wyoming she received a wrangler position at a luxury guest ranch in Saratoga, WY where she led guest rides, took part in caring for a herd of 184 horses, and assisted with moving cattle on horseback. During her time at the ranch and in courses at UW, Bailey found a passion for equine massage therapy. Since pursuing her education in equine massage, Bailey now holds certifications in Equine Therapeutic Massage Therapy (ETMT), Equine Advanced Massage Therapy (EAMT), and Equine Sports Massage Therapy (ESMT).

To pursue his lifelong dream, Garrett attended the University of Wyoming where he studied Agriculture Business.

Garrett and Bailey Keaney both share a passion for wildlife conservation. They are channeling this passion into creating a place where native species of flora and fauna can thrive in their natural habitat.
