Who We Are
TARYN KING | DENVER, COLORADO
CO-FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Taryn King — and yes, “horse” actually was my first word. That early obsession evolved into a lifelong calling that has shaped every chapter of my life and career. From mucking stalls as a middle school "barn rat" to managing breeding programs, founding a horse rescue, or studying Equine Business Management at Cazenovia College, my roots run deep in the equestrian world.
Today, I lead one of Colorado’s only horse property specialist teams, The Horse & Hearth Group. We serve equestrians across the Front Range and Foothills, helping them buy, sell, and thrive on properties where the barn is just as important as the home. I’ve had the privilege of helping fellow horse people navigate one of life’s biggest transitions — and I bring a boots-on-the-ground perspective few agents can match.
Beyond Colorado, I’m proud to be leading the launch of the national Land & Ranch Division at eXp Realty, where I coach and collaborate with agents nationwide on how to grow niche real estate businesses rooted in land, lifestyle, and legacy. As an EquiAgent ambassador, I’m passionate about building a network of professionals who know that land matters, barns matter, and the right property can change everything.
When I’m not in the field or the arena, I’m raising two little cowboys (Weston & Colton), competing my horses Captain, Star, and Mia in eventing, and continuing to live the lifestyle I now help others build. If you're looking to grow in this space — or help clients find their place in it — Let’s build something that lasts.
RACHEL RYAN | SALMON, IDAHO
CO-FOUNDER
Rachel grew up on a Black Angus cattle ranch in a small mountain town in Idaho. Her first job was picking rocks out of the field for her dad and feeding bulls buckets full of grain before catching the school bus. Summers were spent driving John Deere tractors, hauling hay, moving irrigation pipes by hand, and earning money for college with market 4-H and FFA steers in high school. Rachel understands the value of a hard work ethic, as well as the ins and outs of farm and ranch real estate with water rights, easements, and crop production.
Rachel went to college for marketing and communications and practiced freelance graphic design and photography for several years in Idaho and Utah. She has been a radio DJ for a few different Idaho and Utah radio stations over the last 20 years, and most recently an iHeart station, WKCK 101 Kickin' Kountry. Her love of country music has blessed her with the opportunity to meet several of her favorite country artists, including Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, and Lainey Wilson.
Rachel has been a licensed real estate professional since 2018, and her agricultural background, extensive travels, and large network of friends and past clients across the globe have been a great asset in the real estate business. She loves meeting new people and helping them find their next Idahome. She has experience in residential, commercial, farm and ranch, and luxury real estate, and enjoys working with both buyers and sellers.
Rachel has two teenage daughters and a mini Aussie doodle, Mia Chesney, who is the princess of the family. When Rachel is not showing property, she enjoys spending time with family, fly fishing, hiking, traveling, attending concerts, and working cows on her family's ranch. She loves cowboy boots, tacos, and soaking up sunshine on a beach, and lives by her motto: "It's a great day for a great day!"
