Meet The Team

Director / Founder
Chrystal
Has always had a love and passion for horses. Started riding at the age of 5 and learned everything she could from her grandfather. Moved to Oregon in her early twenties and started the Rustic Hills Ranch a hauling and small rescue ranch that took in mostly owner surrenders and transported anywhere in the us. Chrystal was part of mounted search and rescue, attended every equine emergency medical class she possibly could while volunteering under numerous equine vets. She moved to East Texas in 2021 and then started the Rustic C Ranch Rescue in 2023. Chrystal is committed to saving as many at risk horses and donkeys as possible and help them find a second chance at loving homes.
