Meet Tom, Ginny, Dave & Kathy...

Kathy Mosteit and Ginny Rager spent their childhood summers with their grandparents moving cattle, working the farm and riding horses. As adults, these two cousins now want to share the beauty of Eastern Oregon back-country horseback riding with you, your family, friends and new friends to be.

Together, the Mosteits and Ragers look forward to sharing down-home western hospitality with you. Dave will be preparing his luscious Texas barbecued brisket and ribs and Tom's sourdough is ready for high rising biscuits and pancakes.

About Tom & Gin:

Tom and Ginny Rager have taught in schools in Eastern Oregon as well as Alaska. As teachers, they have shared their love of the outdoors with their students. Tom & Gin have taught and traveled all over the world. Tom, an elementary school teacher, created Outdoor Education curriculums where students spent a week living and learning in the outdoors.

Gin taught junior high and high school English, photography and yearbook design. Summers were spent riding and packing in the Eagle Cap Wilderness area and Desolation/John Day mountains.

In addition to Oregon teaching, Tom and Gin spent time in Alaska, teaching in a remote Aleutian Island community. While there, Tom's summers were spent salmon fishing on a 40' seiner. Tom and Gin took a leave from teaching in the states and joined the Peace Corps in 1998. Their assignment was teaching at a Rural Training Center in the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific. There, they were introduced to subsistence living and a self-reliant life style.

Dave & Kathy:

Kathy's father always had a team of draft horses or mules. It was always a way for the family to get together, to enjoy the outdoors and meet-up with old friends. Kathy and her family have taken part in several wagon trains.

Kathy worked for several years in banking, has owned her own restaurant, and worked for a large Oregon school district as a dispatcher and routing specialist. Kathy was retail manager for Hamley & Company in Pendleton, Oregon, a famous western saddlery and retail operation. This was a job she truly enjoyed, allowing her to meet people from around the world, as well as the local ranchers and friends that came in.

Dave was born and raised in Texas and after thirty years of rodeos, riding bulls and bareback horses and is ready to lend his expertise to the public. Dave has a special knack for barbecuing his now famous brisket. He enjoys horseback riding in the Blue and Elkhorn Mountains of Eastern Oregon and sharing with others the beautiful scenery these mountain ranges offer.

Dave previously worked as a construction supervisor for fifteen years and has also run his own oil related land business for the past 18 years.

Dave and Kathy have been in Granite, Oregon since 2001, where they own the Outback, a last chance store and restaurant stop before entering the wilderness on the Elkhorn Scenic Byway.
