Please note addtional comment below!

ATTENTION:
To all my horse friends, roping buddies, barrel racers, breakaway ropers, and clients.
This neurologic rhino outbreak is serious. Stay home till things are under control. There is now a 3rd property involved. There is a mix of western performance and english horses there. All horses and disciplines are at risk. There may not be a worse way for a horse to die than neurologic rhino.
Be safe, they can't get it if they aren't exposed.
PS To equine professionals that move between different barns. You can potentially spread this disease. You should be cleaning up and changing clothes between barns for a while. Thank you, Dr. Bob Peters

PLEASE NOTE! Just to be absolutely clear. I did not post that there is a 3rd property with a confirmed positive. I said "involved" as in under suspicion, tests taken.
But, It's not a terrible idea to assume you need to be abundantly cautious about any travel and or exposure.

Thank you to the folks who reached out! We will post any future work opportunities to our page if something comes available.

Hi Bellingham & whatcom county friends!
We’re hiring here at Highland Mountain Ranch for Saturday Sundays!

The job starts at 8-830am. 5-6hours each shift sometimes more sometimes less if you want to leave early (after priority tasks are complete). We pay $16.50hr weekly. You need to be horse savvy, have a see it do it attitude, be comfortable taking direction and changing anything that’s needs changing. Chores consist of feeding horses (20-23 horses), mucking stalls and runs, cleaning or filling waters and troughs, sweeping the barns, fixing or mending fences, turning horses out, w**d eating, mowing, moving hay, pre-feeding for the PM are all things that can and might ask for you to do.

There’s opportunity to learn how to drive tractor (don’t ask if you can’t drive a manual), catch/groom/saddle horses, and possibly riding. These things would be more of the internship part. Great place to start and get your foot in the door!

If you know of someone looking for a job and interested in the horse world, please send them my way.

Resumes can be submitted to [email protected]

Meet Nuryan!🐴
Registered name 💥Blissful EskapeKnight💥
Nuryan is a papered Arabian gelding looking for his new zip code!
20 year old, 14 hands.
Green broke and has had some time off due to being in the back burner position.
Up to date on vaccinations, teeth float, hoof care.
Nuryan requires zero maintenance, classic Arab and stays fat on air.
He gets along well with other horses but finds himself at the bottom of the totem pole.
Very friendly, loves people. Stands tied to be groomed, stands for the farrier, trailers well, stands for you at the mounting block, lunges in both directions, green in his WTC transitions but will make someone a very easy little project. He can be looky if you’re unsure therefore we feel it’s best he’s in the hands of an advanced rider. He’s a sensible yet sensitive guy, doesn’t take much for him to be your willing partner.

2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ he will sell with his papers

Nuryan is on consignment here with me at Highland Mountain Ranch
Located in Bellingham Washington

Meet Hank!
Hank is a 12 year old grade bay quarter horse cross standing at about 16hh (maybe 16.1). He’s a gentle giant, hauls, loads into anything, cross ties, stands for the farrier (your farrier will love you if you get him), beginner friendly on the trails or in the arena, you don’t need to be handy to ride him but if you are handy you’ll see he has some buttons, he’s more woah than go, fully vetted and have vet records to send him with him. His next float and shots will be 10/16/2024. Ride him in a bit, halter, bosal whatever, he doesn’t fuss. Low to middle man in the herd, easy keeper, stalls in a box stall just fine, not a cribber or anything, easy on fences, respects your space, respects hot wire or wood. Currently eats alfalfa and Timothy or stays fat off pasture. If you’re looking for something your older kids can bond with this is definitely a safe horse to do just that.

Hank’s only flaw is he has sarcoids on his right side of his neck & around his right eye. These do not affect his riding abilities though. They have been biopsied and I have the records for that.

Can help with hauling, he will be freshly shod on his front and trimmed on the back Feb 27th.
Priced to find his forever home! 🏡 🐴

I’m not looking to lease, looking to sell to his forever home. Come check him out before lowballing, I can guarantee you he’s better than the last horse you checked out and is a solid citizen compared to most horses. Manners and boundaries are taught here at my place.

This is my 3 year old riding Hank and my 12 year old neighbor. Hank is a safe experienced solid citizen.
