THE MCNEIL FAMILY
Lincoln County, November 2021
Unhappy with their careers in town, Chance and Kristen McNeil of Harrisburg returned to the country about a decade ago and have since developed three businesses: CK Stables, CK Kennels and CK Bulldogs. CK Stables provides horse boarding and riding lessons. CK Kennels provides dog boarding in a state-of-the-art facility. CK Bulldogs raises and sells French and English bulldogs. “We started all of this from nothing,” said Chance. “Because Kristen and I have our names on it, it took me a long time to find people who pride themselves in their work and get it done the way I want it.” he said. Two of their best workers are their own children, Wyatt and Emerson. Caring for animals is a 24-hours-a-day, 365-days-of-the-year business – which is just the way Chance likes it. “I don’t do well with downtime. I always have to have a project, I always need to have something going. I always feel like I’m behind the eight-ball, but when I look back, there are a heck of a lot of things we’ve accomplished in 10-12 years.” Kristen and Chance with their children, Emerson and Wyatt.
