Welcome to Los Pinos Equestrian Center!                      

The Snell Family History:
 
We are natives of Colorado.  The family has been involved in Western "Cowboy" Culture & have owned horses their entire lives.

David & Nancy Snell live in North Canon.  David has 2 surviving children, Ken & Deb.  There are 3 Grand children & 6 great grand kids.  Ken is a Captain in the United States Army.  He works & resides in Washing DC. Ken's life is dedicated to our Country.  As a kid growing up in Colorado Ken owned a buckskin horse named "Buddy". 

Deb has a passion for horses beyond words.  Every horse as a "purpose" in this world.  Her dedication & commitment is working with horses & people.   Every horse has a "human soul mate".  Deb believes that horses are the best therapy for any of our issues.  She worked at Starpoint prior to moving to Los Pinos - helping folks with "mental & physical disabilities" is very rewarding.  Because of this background, Deb has a very natural relationship with horses and humans and enjoys helping each get the best out of life.  Deb is very hands on and involved in the management, day to day work and future development plans of Los Pinos Equestrian Center. 

There are 3 Grandchildren, Daniel, Jeremiah & Nicholle.  Dan resides in Denver.  He has been involved in the Automotive Industry for about 14 years & is raising 2 boys.  Motorcycles & racecars have his full attention.  You will catch him on his weekend visits to Southern Colorado saddling up for a ride in the beautiful Wet Mountains.  

Jeremiah is also involved in the day to day operation of the facility.  He & his family along with "MOM DEB" live on site.  He too has an automotive background.  Jae is married with 2 children.  His wife Tina enjoys trail riding and just being around horses as well.

Nikki is the "baby of the bunch".  Nikki & her family currently reside & work in Custer County.  She & husband John own & operate Sangre de Cristo Painting (a full service painting company) and Lookin Up Outfitters.  www.lookinupoutfitters.net  They have 2 boys.
 
Most of the time you will find us in Wranglers, cowboy boots & hats.  Our favorite place is "sittin in the saddle".  The family has a large involvement with the Wild West Cowboy Church in both Westcliffe & Pueblo.  Fee free to come by and say "Howdy" - Deb, Jae or Tina would love to show you around the place!
