Johanna Stouder is our Head Wrangler and graduated with a degree in Animal Science from the University of Purdue where she was also a member of the Purdue Equestrian Team. Growing up in South Bend, IN, she found a way to constantly surround herself with animals-even working at the Potawatomi Zoo. Jo is back for her fifth season at VVR and is excited to be back in the saddle now that our new indoor riding arena is complete. She will be assisting Terry Wegner, with a variety of riding clinics for our guests.

Nicky Throgmartin hails from the Hoosier state of Indiana but now calls Vista Verde home. Her love of horses and riding pulled her away from the University of Indianapolis, where she rode on the equestrian team. She has been seeking to continue her equine education by accompanying us to several horse sales and riding clinics. She's also been assisting professional horse trainer, Terry Wegener, with some of his younger stock and our newborn foals. Whenever you see Chance, her lovable black mutt, you know Nicky can't be far away.

Amanda Baumann hails from Paradise, CA but has lived all over the US in places like Lincoln, NE (Go BIG RED), Big Timber, MT and Denver, CO. She graduated from the University of Mary in Bismarck, ND with a Bachelors degree in business. She was born in Steamboat Springs 25 years ago and is happy to be back. This will be her third season at VVR, having worked in the dining room this winter Amanda is excited to be back in the saddle this summer.

Reid Morgan is not a stranger to guest ranching, after spending a few summers wrangling at another ranch, he decided to join our wrangler crew and his two sisters who are on staff this summer. He calls West Lafayette, Indiana home. This May Reid graduated from Purdue University with a degree in civil engineering. We are excited to see his violin, guitar, mandolin and harmonica skills (whew!) this summer during campfire.

Nathan Margason comes to us from Magnolia, Texas. This summer he's excited to get into the corral with the rest of our wranglers and pursue his dream of working on a ranch. His love for riding, being active and dancing will make him the perfect fit for Vista Verde. He may be the guy to catch on the dance floor during our outrageously fun barn dances this summer.

Stacy Corless from Coldwater, MI has been striving to get out west to a ranch for the past two years--and this year, that dream is coming true. Stacy just graduated from Ball State University in Muncie, IN with a degree in landscape architecture where she focused on designing equestrian parks. She has ridden horses all her life, went to state twice in high school and has competed on the equestrian team at the college level. You'll be sure to learn lots from Stacy out on the trail, as well as in our clinics.
