This spring, we had our first homebred filly born on our Texas Ranch. After spending the last 2 years preparing our property to be able to sustain our breeding operations, we were excited to see the fruits of our labors running around. Arabella is a healthy, long legged filly with so much personality, a gift from God.

We are expecting 3 more homebred babies to arrive this coming February, April and May. The whole ranch awaits their arrivals with great anticipation!

“He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.”

If it were not filmed no one would believe it.I was shocked to hear what those self-deceived Christians said about their in God and what the bible says about...

Ride Like the Wind Again,

Saturday, June 22nd
3 riders from our Ranch: Laura Rye, Becca Jansen and Diane McDougall, all travelled up to Kansas to attend the “Ride Like the Wind Again” Endurance event. It was a well run event, specifically Melissa Vadnais Martinez , the ride Manager, did a good job and they enjoyed the weekend.

Every once in a while, something exceptional happens, so by way of this recount of the race, I get to introduce to you, Laura Rye, who has been with our family for 22 years. Laura came to buy a horse from Kris and Brenda over 20 years ago and has never left. Her full time job over the years, was to start up young horses, continuing their training/ exposure, making safe mounts, and ultimately doing all the physical preparation on a horse in order for them to start competing at a high levels in Endurance. Through the years, Laura has started/prepared MANY horses, and we; the Harrison-Sisters Jenna Leah-Mandy have enjoyed the fruit of her work, as have numerous other competitors.
Always in the background, but this year, in 2024, Laura decided to take her own mare, “Destiny” (a Mustang/ Arabian), who was feral when she got her, and compete her. This process of getting Destiny to a competitive place, took Laura 3 years and several preparatory endurance competitions. This weekend, Laura believed that her mare was ready to run at the front at the 50 mile, and the reward was 1st place, followed by Becca Jansen , whom laura mentored for many years on one of our homebred geldings.

In addition to the 50 mile event, we also had Diane McDougall competing in the 30 mile, with a relatively new horse to her, “Lilly”. This pair also took 1st place. The entire ranch family celebrates when an individual commits to an undertaking in this sport, and ultimately succeeds. When you start a new horse, to be able to run at higher speeds takes 3 years to prepare, and there is no assurance that they will have the makeup to be able to do this, only time tells.

Jenna Harrison was privileged to ride Lily Creek Kong at the AERC National Championship in 2023. She won the 100 mile race in under 9 hours and the competition was fierce. Kong belongs to Cameron Gaytko , who loaned him to Jenna for the last year; this pair raced in several competitions, including Tevis Cup where they finished 3rd place together. On May 2nd, we returned Kong to Cameron at her home in Huston. Her horse taught us what Endurance and speed is all about, further more, when we matched up our own horses with Kong, in both training and in competition, their performance levels improved just by riding beside Kong. Truly a great horse, we will miss him.
