Meet the Family


We are blessed to be surrounded by such a large and wonderful animal family at the moment. We would like to introduce them all to you, as they are a large part of our daily routines here on the ranch. It is the first time we've worked with a herd of horses (12 to be exact) and getting to see how the hierarchy works within the herd is quite an experience. From the time the foals are born they follow their mothers, even on trail rides. It is a wild herd mentality, but they are well socialized. They live as naturally as possible together on the many acres surrounding the property, and really do just get to be horses.
