Happy Holidays Silver Spur Family 🎄

We’re thankful to update you on the progress regarding the creek issue at the Ranch. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has visited and assessed the creeks shift situation. Their assessment is the first step in finding sustainable solutions to restore the creeks original path, as well as protect the surrounding areas for everyone and the horses on our property.

We’re now being assigned a Technical Service Provider (TSP) who will work with us to develop a comprehensive plan. This plan will address the creek’s challenges and help ensure a long-term solution.

We’ll share updates as the process moves forward and look forward to seeing these improvements benefit the ranch and our horses. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for all your support as we work hard to make the Silver Spur better every day 🙌🏼

Sincerely,

The Burke, Bennett, and Chassee Families
