Meet the Rancher
Scott and Amy met in France back in 2005.
Scott is from New Zealand and Amy is from Scotland. After living in many countries around the world they settled on Canada as it is half way between.
Scott left the glitz and glamour of superyachts in exchange for cowboy boots and tractors! He has two horses, Koru and Anahera. Beef and ranching has always been a passion of Scott's. After what seems like many years of planning and wishing the dream has become a reality on Waikahei Ranch. Amy often jokes " I fell in love with a glamorous Yachty. I could have stayed in Scotland and married a farmer!"
Amy, also involved in the yachting industry, retrained to be an Equine Therapist before the birth of their first child. She is the owner of Kheiron College and works on horses around the province. She has three horses, Wyatt, Navajo and Anahla, and is more than happy to follow Scott to realize his dream of raising beef. She is a strong advocate for ETHICAL meat, or as the kids like to say, HAPPY meat.
Now the kids, Callum is 12, Iona is 9 and Rhiann is 7.
Callum has 2 horses, Farmer and Halley, both standardbreds. He rides solo on the trail, rounds up cows and is in Ranch Horse with 4H. He is a keen soccer player and loves playing Minecraft and reading. The kids recently took to the ski slopes here in Greenwood and Callum has become quite the ski-bum!
Iona is in love with her Allie. Allie is a 20yr old 14'3 paint cross with a lot of heart and more than a little attitude, but she melts around Iona and they are a match made in heaven. She loves riding, reading, painting and playing soccer, and has discovered a talent for skiing. She is also in Ranch Horse with 4H.
Rhiann is the baby of the family. She too has her own horse, Paea, a BLM Mustang from Oregon that Scott picked out. She loves trotting on the trails, arts and crafts and playing soccer, and is also a great wee skier!
