About Us

Five Generations of Western Heritage

I am the fifth generation of cattlemen in my family. My great-great grandparents settled and homesteaded a small town in Piute County, while the Savage side settled and homesteaded a small town in Garfield County. This Western heritage runs deep in our blood—it's not just what we do, it's who we are.

But my story truly begins in Sevier County, where my grandparents purchased land and ran a small cattle herd. They bred horses, rode with passion, and loved to rope. This love for the Western lifestyle was shared with me by my Grandpa and Dad, whom I am named after.

I grew up surrounded by baby horses and horses in training. We rode for fun, we rode for work, we rode to move the cows to new pasture, and we rode to rope, laugh, and support the love we had for the country and the Western lifestyle. This connection to the land, the animals, and the heritage is woven into every fiber of who I am.

The Savage Bandits Family

Savage Bandits is made up of five—soon to be six—people who share this deep love for Western heritage and the horse lifestyle.

Me and my husband bring together two equally substantial Western legacies. My husband hails from southeastern Idaho, where his family has grown the alfalfa that feeds the cattle of America. Together, we've built a life centered on horses, cattle, and the values that come from working the land.

Garrett, our oldest, loves the mountains and wilderness. He captures the beauty of this lifestyle through his photography, preserving the moments that matter most.

Cole takes after his Grandpa "Savage" and has a natural gift for training horses. He has a knack for picking breeding lines that have blessed our lives—and the lives of others—with great-minded, athletic foals and horses.

Kya is our youngest, and she is the reason Savage Bandits exists.

Our Why: Kya's Story

From the minute Kya came into our lives, we knew nothing would ever be the same. She is full of love, joy, and spirit. When we learned that she has moderate disabilities and would always need support, we did the only thing we know how—we taught her to ride.

We use our horses to help her understand her emotions. We use our horses to help her feel safe, brave, and able.

But something remarkable happened. We quickly learned more about Kya and her effect on our herd. The horses move differently around her. They watch her differently. They feel her differently. She tells them her secrets, her fears, and her dreams—and they listen.

As we learned about Kya and our herd, we learned about ourselves. We discovered how much our Western heritage means to us, how deeply we love our Western lifestyle, and most of all, how our connection to this way of life has shaped us, strengthened our character, and developed each of us into the leaders we are today.

Sharing the Western Lifestyle

Savage Bandits became a way for us to share these values with others—to celebrate the Western heritage, the horse culture, and the ranch lifestyle that has given us so much. It's also a way to support Kya and her needs today and in the future.

Every product we offer is a reflection of this lifestyle we love. From our premium tumblers built ranch-tough to our Western apparel designed for real riders, we create gear for people who understand that the Western way isn't just a style—it's a way of life.

Oh, how we love her and our herd.
