Miss Billie - Owner

"anything you want can be a reality If you're brave enough to try and relentless enough to never give up"

Billie Taylor worked as a wrangler and corral manager in Yellowstone National Park for a decade, and has been actively involved in the Gardiner community since 2006. After seasonal jobs in the horseback realm took her all over the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest, she was drawn back to the heart of Montana and the wildness of Yellowstone National Park. Purchasing and operating Yellowstone Roughriders was her calling, fitting together the puzzle pieces of her passions for people, horses, and business together..

Nadia - Operations Manager

Josie is one of our most experienced wranglers and she is also one of the youngest. Josie grew up in Gardiner, Montana and was riding horses before she was able to walk. Her love for horses and packing was passed down to her by her parents, Jerry and Wendy. She started trail guiding at the age of 12 and found she enjoys people as much as she enjoys horses. She loves how YR allows her to get to know people from all over the world and the stories she swaps with them. Josie has plenty of great stories about growing up in Montana to share with riders, just ask!

John - Jack of all trades

John, with his sweet southern draw, can fix whatever we are capable of breaking. He has raised and trained quarter horses for over 25 years in Calhoun, Georgia . He has experience with cutting, cow and rope horses and is quite accomplished in the show ring; a 2-time reserve World Champion and a yearend champion in the American Ranch Horse Association. After spending the first part of his life in Georgia ranching, John decided to go West looking for new horizons and a slower paced life. He moved to the Yellowstone area in 2020. We are so fortunate to have him as part of our team.

Steven - Cowboy Singer

Steve, described by Billie as her most LOYAL wrangler, grew up in the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri, not around horses. He came out to Yellowstone in 2018 to be a cowboy singer knowing maybe only one country song. Now, he has heaps of country songs he can preform. After working with the Horse Department in YNP, he realized he loves horses just as much as music! “Working with horses is a relatively new passion for me but I can't imagine my life without them.” When He is not on horseback or writing and recording music he enjoy hiking and climbing (especially off-trail and obscure areas). So, if he is your wrangler don’t forget to ask him for a song. And don’t worry, he has become as good a wrangler as he is an entertainer!

Jared Guy - Corral Clown

“Mommas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys!” Welp, Jared’s momma paid no mind to that advice. Jared is the oldest of three and spent his younger years ripping and romping all over Pike County, GA. Y’all will be hard pressed to run across some adventure ol’ Jared hasn’t tried. From camping out on the Flint River for weeks eating nothing but the fish he caught, to cutting up a rug at the local Moose Lodge, to driving out to Yellowstone in 2015 for his first summer in the park.. Jareds a Montana man in his heart and it shows. He’s been an important role in YR since the beginning. He loves the back country trips but if you're lucky enough to enjoy a day ride with Jared, we can guarantee a good time.
