Lost Creek Ranch is a family-owned business operated by Brian Olson and his daughters Chanel, Ashley, and Olivia. The Olsons started their business on a rural property east of Seattle where Chanel taught lessons and held weekly camps in the summer. In May 2010, the family moved to Kalispell and have since been running a successful boarding and training facility here at Lost Creek Ranch.

Chanel Olson - Owner & Trainer
Chanel has been teaching and training since 2007. She has experience in most disciplines with a strong English background but rides Western now. Chanel grew up watching horse racing at Emerald Downs in Auburn, WA. Although Chanel loves most breeds, her favorite is retraining OTTBs (off-the-track-Thoroughbreds). She is passionate about promoting them as versatile horses, especially as western horses and kid/family horses as well. Chanel loves teaching, especially kids. Kids are so capable of becoming great little horsemen even at the earliest age. She also loves cultivating relationships between horses and humans. Chanel is a fun, enthusiastic, passionate, outgoing, & dedicated horsewoman and promotes great confidence building skills. Chanel believes she is a student of the horse and is a huge advocate for correct horsemanship. She loves sharing her horses, knowledge, and experience with others! |
