It's been a long, long time!


Wow, I didn't realize that it had been so long since I posted anything on this blog. So the last anyone knew, we had just lost Gaelin.

Now we have several new additions to the ranch. First of all we got Bella and Omar. Omar is pictured to the left. Bella is a lovely little Mountain Welsh Pony, and Omar is an Arab (of course).

Then we got Bonnie, a Quarter Horse, Clydesdale cross, and low and behold--she was pregnant. So we also got a new little filly we call Roxy. Who was born on the ranch on May 6, 2010 between 10:00 and 10:30 p.m. She is an adorable little Medicine Hat Paint.

Recently, we aquired Yankee, who is a black Morgan horse. He is just wonderful! He also drives, and came with a lovely little black surrey to pull.

This year, we also experimented with raising meat chickens and turkeys. Since both endeavors were successful, I believe we will likely do it again next year.

Along with our usual summer camps, we also hosted several day long events for both the Air Force, and Mountain Home Parks and Recreation. These events were very successful for both parties, and we look forward to doing it all again next year!

We also started the first Idaho Equestrian Vaulting Team. The Gem State Vaulters! They are currently preparing for their very first event.

See our Facebook page, for current information, and stay tuned. There are so many things happening around here it will be fun to see what happens next!
