THIS BLOG HAS MOVED!

Just wanted to let everyone know that this blog has moved to the improved and updated Horseshoe Canyon Ranch website. http://www.gohcr.com

I have not updated it there yet - but will soon! Getting to know the new programs and such.

Happy Thanksgiving.

LA School For The Blind

We were happy to see the LA School for the Blind again. They have been coming for some time now and we are always impressed with how everyone handles themselves at the ranch. It is hard enough getting up and down these hills with full site, but they do it like pros with their walking sticks and canes.

I did not get very many photos this year as I was riding and the weather was a bit wet. Enjoy the few that I took. Next year I will do better.

Nikos did not want to get his head wet. Grocery bags work great.

Even though there was rain, everyone still had a great time - including us.

Heading home.

Watching Flower

As some of you know Flower is expecting. She is due May 6, 2010 give or take a day or two. She was bred to Sinatra Red Skipper (a.k.a Pino) - a Quarter Horse who is a perlino. She is an excellent mother and we thought it would be nice to breed her one last time - Flower is 17 years old this year. Here babies are always full of personality and have all been painted like her. We are hoping for a colt (to make a gelding)...keep your fingers crosses, she has always had fillies in the past.

Here you can see her belly is getting bigger...

These two photos you can see how her belly is starting to expand and stick out on the sides.

We plan on updating Flower,s progress from time to time. As with all livestock sometimes pregnancies don't work out, but Flower has carried three foals without any problems in the past, we really don't expect anything different from her.

Horseshoe Canyon Ranch Zip Line

Video taping yourself while riding does not look the way you picture it would turn out in your head.... oh well. :)

Week of August 16, 2009

We tried to learn French - not sure how well we did but it was fun anyway. Thanks to all the guests for making this week a memorable one! Barry & Joey it was good to see you again. Until next time!

Rewind to mid July...

Where does the time go... I intended to post these the week after I took them but now it is near the end of August. Oh dear! Enjoy.
