Out in the wide-open spaces of the American West, love isn’t just about grand gestures—it’s about partnership, tradition, and a shared passion for the land. For Chet and Angela Vogt, life together is built on these very foundations. Running two working ranches—one in California and the other in Oregon—keeps them deeply connected to their roots, the land, and each other.
Angela’s heart has always belonged to her horses. Whether she’s training, riding, or attending horse shows, she finds her greatest joy in the bond she shares with them.
Meanwhile, Chet balances his time between the demands of the ranch and his creative side—designing timeless Western pieces and working closely with his team at Vogt Silversmiths. Together, they embody the Western way of life, where hard work and artistry go hand in hand.
Their love for the land is a family affair, as the entire Vogt family comes together to herd cattle—including their 6-year-old granddaughter, the smallest rancher with the tallest horse! It’s these moments of togetherness, rooted in tradition and the Western spirit, that make their lifestyle so special.
