Charles & Renee Hilbig
Charles and Renee are the founders of The Place on 36, and it all started with a horse named Gibbs and a love that grew into something unstoppable! This property has been in Renee's family for 4 generations and now that it has become her life, it has become her goal to share it with her community! These two feel blessed every day to have such a supportive family that works hard at helping ensure that their goals for The Place are met, even if those goals may change from time to time. Charles and Renee understand that sometimes it isn’t about the path that they want, but the path that God leads them down.

Michael & Shawna Merrill
Michael and Shawna are a large part of the backbone in this business! Shawna is the daughter of the owners and also the operations manager at The Place. She is always working diligently to ensure all the little things on the front lines and behind the scenes run smoothly and correctly for everyone involved! Mike’s ability to make things happen and his willingness to participate in anything we throw at him makes him absolutely irreplaceable! They are both always pushing above and beyond to step up when needed and do what they can to keep The Place going in the right direction.

Nolan & Kimberley Hilbig
Nolan and Kimie, when they are not off saving the world or chasing around children, they play huge rolls in the success of The Place on 36! Nolan is not only the owner’s son, but he is also the Ranch Manager in charge of making sure all maintenance and building projects are planned and completed accordingly. On top of all that, he is also the mind behind Range 36, which is currently located right here at The Place on 36. His wife Kimie adds a wonderful touch to the business with her party planning skills, crafting skills and baking skills. When you book a party with us, it will probably be a huge success because of her creative mind!

Tabitha & Joe
Tabitha and Joe are the newest additions to The Place. While Tabitha started as our canine trainer, she has quickly stepped up, with Joe by her side, to help The Place grow in any way she can! From cleaning dog poo, to working horses, to organizing events, to over all ranch hand, she does it all. Her extensive knowledge of canine behavior and her eagerness to learn all the ways of the equine world make her a huge asset to our business. Joe steps up and steps in when needed, but we are pretty sure he only comes out to spend time with Gibbs.
