Courtney Canterbury



Courtney Ann Canterbury was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. She grew up with three Chow Chow dogs and several cats, including foster cats and kittens. She began taking horse riding lessons at age seven in Henderson, Nevada. At age 10, her family packed up and moved to Dammeron Valley, Utah. Shortly after the move her parents bought her her first horse and their small “farm” began, eventually adopting goats, chickens, several horses and ponies, three dogs and at any one time 10 cats. She graduated Tuacahn High School for the Performing Arts with an emphasis in Music and English and awards in dance and film. At age 19 she met her husband Derrick and were inseparable. Shortly after they were married they had their daughter Kennedy. In 2015 Courtney and her new family relocated to Sandy, Utah and a couple years later Courtney began work at a rescue farm as the manager. As the manager of a rescue that rescues abused and neglected farm animals, she spent time working with and caring for many farm animals, including cows, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, alpacas, donkeys, ponies, a geep (half goat half sheep) and even an Emu. Courtney adopted Misty Rose, a rescue mustang (pictured above) from the rescue. Of all the horses Courtney has had the privilege to work with and own Misty has taught her the most. Through the rescue Courtney met Dr Tracy and Dr Cate and is incredibly honored and excited to be joining the team. 

In her spare time Courtney loves to ride Misty, go fishing and camping, go on road trips, spend time with her family and antique shopping on the weekends
