Taylor Family
Founded on October 12, 2019, Diamond T19 is a family owned and operated business that continues to grow every year. Everyone in our family has their own important role to keep our ranch functioning and growing. While the current focus of our ranch is lessons and showing YEDA, we have big plans for the future. Eventually we will offer lessons and camps in our home located in a quiet valley in Solsberry, IN. Horses have been a passion in both our lives for so long a we want to share that with fellow horse enthusiasts. Our two boys and daughter are the main motivation to build our ranch and share our love for horses with fellow riders. We believe that a life with horses is just better.
