Well we are officially full! All the stalls are filled with healthy happy horses and we couldn’t be more satisfied with how our year has gone.

Ups and downs, for sure. But every challenge made us better and helped is get to where we are now.

THANK YOU to everyone!

We’re beyond excited to announce our newest residents!!
Everyone please say “hello” to Novio, Luke, Pal, and Stormy!
Our barn family is growing rapidly and nothing makes us happier than seeing horses and their people parents enjoying the beauty of the land and peace of mind being an AK client brings!

Had an early morning visitor who was kind enough to pose just long enough for a photo before flying away, and we got this breathtaking scene across the North pastures as the moon said “hello” to the rising sun across the misty fields.

(Hint: look on the white fence post for our guest)

Fall is the best time for riding lessons!

Couldn’t ask for a more perfect day here at the Ranch. 🥰

The day ended more beautifully than it began.

Gonna be another day in paradise!

So peaceful.

Right up until the moment you get hit in the head by a falling acorn... 🤦🏼‍♂️

10/05/2021

Finally starting to look like Fall around here!

09/02/2021

One of many spectacular webs glowing from the rising sun and morning dew.

Never have we seen so many Hummingbirds in one spot! We counted eight of them around the feeder fueling up after the storms yesterday afternoon.

08/12/2021

A frustrating afternoon of severe thunderstorms and flash flooding is so easily erased with a sunset like this at turn in.

07/16/2021

Shavings day here at the Ranch!

07/09/2021

We’ve gotten a few questions lately as to how we clean our stalls each day, so here’s a breakdown of how we complete our daily “Field Strip”.
Each photo is a step in the process with a description.

Another beautiful evening here at the ranch.

A clean barn is a happy barn!

06/08/2021

Too much funny!!

06/01/2021

So we haven’t been posting much this past month on our progress and improvements, but that was on purpose. We wanted to surprise everyone that showed up last weekend with what we’d done and the name of the game was clear the underbrush.

These photos are just a glimpse of what we cleared, but the biggest was cutting all the pines out of the sand trap.

Every day is another day closer to perfect.

05/30/2021

Everybody is patiently waiting to turn in for dinner and we’re all using our good manners on this beautiful crisp evening.

Today marks the one year anniversary of us starting our journey here at this amazing place we were so unbelievably lucky to stumble across.

It certainly hasn’t been all roses and rainbows, but nothing worth having ever is. We knew we were almost getting in over our heads with this property and all the work it needed, but only almost.

We’ve been incredibly lucky to have met some amazing people and have pretty awesome neighbors as well!

We wake up every day and pinch ourselves as we gaze out over the barn and pastures from our bedroom while the sun rises; we are blessed beyond measure.

FOUND DOG:
Had an escaped pup hanging out at the barn this morning when we opened up to feed the horses.

The dog has a collar but no ID tag.

No description will be provided. The owners must describe the dog and collar to claim.

Please share so we can get this one back home.

She sounds pretty good and cleaned up well so far.

Folks, I present the tractor that’s a factor. The mean green farmin machine. The John Deere my grass fears....”NESSIE”!!!!!

With all the rain lately I put in work under the barn roof and finally got a chance to tear the Ol girl open and bring her back to life.

At some point the #4 piston was replaced but I don’t think the head was put on or torqued correctly which is why the oil was half fuel.
I replaced the head gasket, reworked the injection pump, and (using everything I learned from military aviation maintenance) cannibalized some parts from the small tractor to get her going.

After sitting dead for over a decade, she is now alive and kickin! No leaks, fluids holding steady, and even the gauges still work perfectly.

What a damn fine feeling!
And if you’re wondering why she’s named Nessie, it’s cause she’s a 2350. And Tree-Fiddy is exactly what that gol damned Loch Ness Monster is always tryna borrow.

Blossoms are in full effect on this beautiful spring day!

03/18/2021

This morning while turning the horses out I noticed our neighbor’s driveway was blocked from a giant old oak that fell last night. We made a quick shift of daily plans and got to work clearing her road cause that’s how we roll.

Dang tree makes the Excursion look small!

03/09/2021

We’re all loving this spring weather!

02/05/2021

Done! All 29 posts set and standing by ready to receive horizontal boards!

Good day, good progress.
