We Have New Water Tanks!

By

A few weeks ago we shared that our water main had broken, leaving us without water for the entire day that Sunday, and most of the following Monday. Of course, it happened to be in the high 90s both days. We knew that we had to figure out a way to keep the horses hydrated.

Tilly Gets Adopted and Arrives at Her New Home!

We are very pleased to share the news that Tilly has been adopted! We rescued Tilly at the end of March, from a family who loved her very much, but who had been unable to care for her appropriately.

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...]
