Our Story
Tom, Phyllis, and their 5 daughters, participated in equine activities over the past 40 years with a special interest in following the military rodeo circuit. The joy of following and supporting rodeo athletes in Tom’s active-duty Marine Corps unit sparked a lifelong dream of becoming active members of the equine community. Settling on the Palmer Divide in Colorado in 2015, they opened WZ Ranch to fulfill that dream, to create the perfect equestrian overnight and event facility. Since opening the ranch, Tom and Phyllis love tending the ranch and quiet trail rides.
The story behind the WZ name comes from two generations of Marine aviators, Tom and his son-in-law Carl. Tom retired from active duty piloting the AH-1 “W” Cobra Attack helicopter and Carl is an active duty Marine Aviator piloting the AH-1 “Z” Cobra setting the basis for the WZ Brand.
