Hollow Tree Ranch

Hollow Tree Ranch The Hollow Tree Ranch is a fun, family-oriented and faith inspired place where people of all ages ca With ease, he reached the bottom safely. Or one chainsaw.
(378)

Once there was a curious little boy who wondered if the tree in front of his house was hollow. After great research, surveying the tree with a flashlight and contingency planning, a strategy was crafted. With the supervision of his big brother the boy climbed up and carefully lowered himself into the tree. Mission accomplished! He inspected the interior of the tree with pride, having fed his curio

sity to fulfillment he was ready to be lifted out. When the time came to be lifted out of the tree,via the safety rope secured around his waist, he found that he was unable to get out. He struggled with his own cowboy boots that prevented him escaping. Terrified, his big brother pulled, jerked, yanked the boy would not budge. Defeated, they had to get Dad involved. He came to the realization that a chainsaw was the answer. At first the plan was to take the entire tree down with the boy still inside. Sure, it would be a big bump, but he would be free. After all, that tree needed to be removed anyway so why not kill two birds with one stone? Mother intervened and a better plan was presented, afterall this was her baby boy we're talking about. A piece of rebar was hammered into the tree trunk for the boy to stand on and Dad cut a hole at the base of the tree. The boy was free and a lesson was learned. Much like life, sometimes we find ourselves in difficult situations no matter how well we plan. However, The Father is always watching over us and when we rely on Him, we can pull ourselves out of any holes we find ourselves in.

Jason's Journey - From English Guy to Texas Cowboy? - Cont'd

Another update.

Just prior to Thanksgiving, Jason had three lessons with Jeff, which were designed to teach the basics. He’s also gotten a good amount of exposure to the horses by volunteering on the Ranch and helping with some trail rides by this time. He provides a good recap in the post below of where he is. Matt’s assessment of his journey as of this date is posted in the comments as well.

Following this post, Jason took the skills he’s learned at Hollow Tree Ranch to Louisiana for Thanksgiving, and we must say it was an impressive showcase. We’ll post about that later.

As of today, Jason has been back at the ranch and focusing on riding, including several more lessons with Jeff. As for next week, it’s a big one. Following several additional lessons with Jeff (weather permitting), Jason is going to show us what he can really do. And eventually Matt and Jason are going to create video montages that showcase Jason’s experience from Day 1/Lesson 1 through the end of his training so you can really see how far he has come!

More on that later. For now, if you’re interested learning to ride, reach out to us at www.hollowtreeranch.com.

HTR Homeschool Post - Part 2

Meet our “HTR Homeschool Crew”

The Homeschool Program will be under constant adult supervision during every session, of course, but these are the kids who will take the lead in integrating your child into the Program. They have years of combined experience and have been given leadership roles to help other kids just like them learn to ride and experience the joy that comes with it. No matter your child’s level of experience, each will be taught basic horsemanship step-by-step by our HTR Homeschool Crew, from how to properly saddle a horse to how to properly control them. And as your child gains more experience, they will make their way to the Enclosed and Open Areas to learn intermediate and advanced riding skills.

We’ll post a video later next week introducing you to the HTR Homeschool Crew and showing you what to expect when you first arrive. For now, if you want to teach your kids how to ride and give them access to meaningful memories and friendships all at the same time, visit www.hollowtreeranch.com for more information. You can also reach out to Matt directly at 210-560-7477. Whether you bring them once a week or once a month, your child will have access to experiences and friendships they won’t soon forget.

If you Homeschool your children (or know someone who does), Hollow Tree Ranch is the perfect place for you. As any Homeschool Parent knows, academics are only part of the school day. In addition to math, science, and reading, a well-rounded education includes providing your child with opportunities to experience the real world first-hand. It also includes networking with other Homeschool parents and children who can provide your child with opportunities to develop strong bonds, social skills, and meaningful relationships. Hollow Tree Ranch provides just that.

We currently have several Homeschooled Staff and Volunteers who have extensive experience working the ranch and tending our horses, and they are the perfect team to welcome your child into our Program. [We will introduce them in the next post.] They will help your child (no matter their experience level) learn everything from the basics of saddling a horse to advanced riding skills during their time on the ranch, and soon your child could be riding like the girls in the attached photos. As importantly, your child will get the opportunity to bond and socialize with other wonderful kids while they’re here.

If you’re interested (or know someone who might be), visit www.hollowtreeranch.com for more information. You can also reach out to Matt, who will be helping to supervise the Program, for more information at 210-560-7477.

We have a lot going on at Hollow Tree Ranch in the next two months. New services and programs coming soon (plus more on Jeff Oliver converting an Englishman from beginner to Texas Cowboy!).
