Brenda Campbell is the Founder and President of Kolt's Equine Konnections. With a lifelong passion for horses, Brenda began her journey at the age of four and bought and trained her first quarter horse at fourteen. She gained extensive experience working as a Ranch Manager for Jane Henderson, where she managed multiple stallions and AQHA foundation mares, and participated in various equine disciplines including halter, western pleasure, cutting, reining, and roping.

After taking a break to raise her three sons, Brenda returned to her equine roots in 2004, recognizing the profound impact horses had on her well-being after tragically losing her son, Kolt. In 2013, she and her husband Joe found their piece of paradise, which they now share with others through Kolt's Equine Konnections.

Joe Campbell is the Chairman of Kolt's Equine Konnections. After retiring from Walmart and Sam’s Club following a successful 28-year career, Joe embraced a new chapter in life. Married to a Texas girl with a passion for horses, Joe naturally became a rancher. Together, they have transformed their 55-acre property into a haven for their animals. They fenced the land and built a barn, which has since been expanded to accommodate hay under the roof. Currently, their ranch is home to 9 horses, 2 donkeys, 3 cows, and 1 baby bull.

Joe and his wife enjoy sharing their love for horses, the creek, and the beautiful trails that run through their property. Their dedication to their animals and the land is evident in the care and effort they put into maintaining their place and allowing others to experience in the joy it can bring through Kolt’s Equine Konnections.

Shannon and her family actively train horses for both competition and pleasure riding, embodying their deep love and commitment to the equestrian lifestyle.
