The Rusty Spurr
Ranch Story
We’d like to extend a warm western welcome from Han and Connie Smith, and our son Wyatt—owners and operators of Rusty Spurr Ranch in Kremmling, Colorado. Since opening in 2001, our mission has been to offer the most authentic horseback riding experience in the Rocky Mountains. With over 50 years of combined horsemanship, we love sharing our Western heritage, ranching lifestyle, and stewardship of 10,000 acres of untouched Colorado country.
From start to finish, we want your time with us to be truly special. Our goal is for you to have fun, make memories, and feel the same inspiration we find every day in our horses and these mountains. Whether you’re a returning friend or a first-time visitor, we look forward to sharing the Rusty Spurr Ranch experience with you.
Meet Your Wranglers
Connie Smith
Owner | WranglerConnie spent her childhood summers in Colorado which led to her to attend college in Ft. Collins. She met Han in 2004 while he was in the process of buying the business and jumped in headfirst to continue growing what would become a 5-Star family run operation. She was born a horse-lover and makes sure each member of the Rusty Spurr herd is well-cared for. In winter, she enjoys skiing with the family, volunteering as a 4-H leader, and attending all of Wyatt’s school sporting events.
Han Smith
Owner | WranglerHan moved to Colorado after college for his love of the outdoors in both winter and summer. He helped build and start the Rusty Spurr Ranch in 2001 as one of it’s first employees and purchased the business in 2004. As the owner of Rusty Spurr Ranch, his passion for horsemanship, land stewardship, and western history is evident in the enthusiasm he brings to work every day. In the off-season, you can find him skiing, volunteering on local boards or catching up on the many maintenance projects that keep the ranch running.
Wyatt Smith
Ranch Hand | WranglerWyatt has been lucky to grow up in the business and went on his first horseback ride at one month old. He has been a daily fixture on the ranch, when at five years old, he decided he was too old for daycare and wanted to work. He started joining his parents on cattle drives and trail rides and now assists with all the daily ranch activities, from tacking up horses to feeding and cleaning. He brings a great sense of humor to the ranch and reminds us all that it’s ok to be silly sometimes. When he’s not riding, he loves football, wrestling, track, skiing, and hunting.
