It’s the end of September, Moses Ranch is at 4,100′ elevation which makes us about 12 degrees cooler up here than the valley below — but, today it is 70 degrees! We are not complaining, it is amazing. This has been such a wonderful summer, and we hope we slowly ease into fall and winter, […]

This is Sher Iza Boomer and InYourFlippinDreams, two of our reining horses. We took them out for an off-trail ride, open their minds a little and give them some out-of-the-arena experience. Smart horses, did very well.

This is Bambi, she’s our new filly born this year here on the ranch. What a cutie. Enjoy.

This is Lilly, she was the first filly born here on Moses Ranch. She just turned 2, and she’s ready for training. Today was her first time with a saddle and rider. She gave me a little buck, but nothing big, she did great — soon she’ll head down to the valley for full-time reining […]

Today we moved Boomer and Dream back out to our trainers for the summer and fall. They are reining horses and are in full-time training with Tony at Kirschner Performance Horses in the Palisades. Tony is an amazing trainer, and a wonderful, dear friend.

This is Boomer and I down at the Appleatchee horse club in the valley. It was a cold, crisp day! Boomer is one of my reining horses, and I don’t get to ride him as much as I’d like.

We’ve only had Lori a couple of years now, she is absolutely wonderful – extremely well trained, and definitely a part of the family. My oldest son rides her mostly, but she makes a great solo-hunting horse. She’ll spot the deer before you every time, and has no problem packing the deer and you back […]

Wiley was 14 years old, in his prime, healthy and strong. He was my personal horse. He was a smart one, who tolerated and tested my lack of patience. Wiley taught me a lot.   Colic On Tuesday the 17th, Wiley began to show signs of colic, so we called a local vet for an […]

Wiley and Lori, out in the Palisades. My oldest son and I did a bit of riding with our trainer, and checked on the progress of Dream. She’s coming along nicely. This is our friend Tony, who is also our brilliant trainer. I can’t learn enough from him, what an amazing guy. He’s tuning up […]

Wiley is enjoying his summer pasture… (Moses Ranch brand looks pretty good!) A little photo before work. What an incredible place to live. Very fortunate.
