Lori's family (father, husband, brother-in-law and nephew) came out on Saturday and built a new frame and a new roof.

Check Out Our Newly Refurbished Arena and Round Pen!

By

The Santa Ana winds that tore through our ranch last fall didn’t just destroy several of our shelters—they also blew away nearly all the sand from our arena. After the winter rains, we tried dragging the arena to loosen and soften the remaining dirt for the horses, but our current drag isn’t heavy … [Read More...]
