Bob and Linda built Anderson Valley Ranch, near Calgary, Alberta in the second half of the 20th century. After many years in the Calgary area, the family decided to spend winters in Tucson, Arizona, where since 1991 the family has been operating a horse boarding, training, and riding ranch.

Let's meet the Andersons in person...


First, there is Bob Anderson, the head of the family. Bob is a distinguished horseman with a life full of experience when it comes to horses. Not only does he know his way around the ranch, but he also knows to create a warm and friendly environment. To family, friends and customers alike, he's always friendly and smiling.

Some of his achievements:

  • Canadian Senior Professional Rodeo Association
    1986 Bareback Champion
    1987 Steer Wrestling Champion
    ...and many regional and local Rodeos.

Second, there is Linda Anderson. Bob's Wife is the business engine in the family. Always smiling, always organized, always ready to meet with customers and friends. If you call the ranch, it's likely you'll be talking to her. She's THE point of contact for all that goes on.

But wait, there's more... don't miss her awesome cowboy cookouts. You'll get everything from mouthwatering steaks to home-made buns... a real treat!

Finally, there are the kids (well, ok, they are adults now, but to us, they're still kids), Keith, Dayna, and Bo.

Keith is married to Dawn, and together with their two children, Cassidy and Jessica, they are living near the Anderson's ranch in Calgary, Alberta.

Dayna is herself a distinguished equestrian and graduate of Georgetown University. She is married to Christian - currently both travelling accross Europe.

Bo is training to be as succesfull a cowboy as his dad is. You may find him chasing after a steer at one of the local Pro Rodeos in Arizona or Canada.

There is a new addition to the family Bo's daugther, Madison - born in February 2002. Bo and Madison are currently living at the ranch in Water Valley, AB.
