Our Sponsors

Official Hay and Feed Store

For over 50 years, Echo Valley Ranch has been a staple of the Auburn community – a place rooted in tradition, service, and community support.

Founded by Gene Kimler and handed down to his son Greg, the feed store has built a legacy as a trusted hay, feed, and pet supply store.

In March 2025, Echo Valley entered a new chapter as long-time Tevis rider Shane Lesher and his business partner John Sheehan took the reins from the Kimler family. Together, Shane and John are excited to carry forward the tradition of Echo Valley Ranch—honoring its past while looking toward the future. Their vision includes maintaining the same dependable products and service Echo Valley is known for, while continuing to support the local and equestrian communities.

As a proud sponsor of the Tevis Ride, Echo Valley Ranch is honored to support one of the most storied endurance events in the world—right here in our backyard. We’re dedicated to serving the equestrian community and continuing the tradition of excellence, care, and commitment that Echo Valley has stood for since day one. Visit www.echoranch.com.
