Barn/Facility Manager

Lexie Gilbert

Hi, my name is Lexie and I joined Promise Ranch in early 2019 as the Barn Manager. After years of working in English Show Jumping Barns, I was very excited to find a ranch with a focus on developing deep and therapeutic relationships between horses and clients. In my time working with equines I’ve been lucky enough to care for pregnant mares and new born foals all the way to 40-year-old quarter horses. I find joy everyday in learning something new about these amazing creatures.

I live near by in Franktown with my husband and our 5 horses. We moved to Colorado in 2018 from Arizona and have greatly enjoyed the cooler weather and mountain views, and I think our horses do too!

Certified Adaptive Riding Instructor & Certified Equine Massage Therapist

Nickole Aubuchon

Barn Staff

Marcie Morrison

Hi my name is Marcie! I joined Promise Ranch a year ago and have enjoyed every minute. I’m a Colorado native and have been on the back of a horse since I was 3 helping my Grandfather check his cows on our ranch in Fruita. I started showing horses in western pleasure, gymkhana, trail and jumping when I was 7. I have loved animals of all kinds since a young age, that’s why I became a veterinarian technician. Horses have always been my passion so after 18 years at a small animal clinic I decided I wanted to change my career. Since then I’ve worked at show barns both western and English. My passion for helping abused and neglected horses lead me to work for DDFL Harmony equine center. My time there was a learning experience and made me appreciate how much time and love goes to rehabilitating horses who lost their trust in mankind.
In my spare time I love to trail ride my three rescue horses, play fetch with my three dogs and spend time with my son.
