Bittersweet. There isn’t a more appropriate word to describe this next chapter. After 25 years of boarding Cielo Ranch will be sliding the barn doors shut for the last time at the end of 2024. In two and a half decades we’ve had the privilege of caring for many unique and talented horses. We’ve met great horsemen and women, skilled providers, and lots of friends in the industry. We’re grateful for the partnerships we’ve formed along the way, and for the trust that was instilled in us to care for these majestic animals.
Over the years we’ve learned many valuable lessons, and we also look back with wonderful memories. We will miss the horses and the people, but also the beautiful land that was not just our business, but our home.
We want to specifically thank each of our wonderful boarding clients - many who became like family, as well as a special thanks to Janssen Veterinary Clinic for being a trusted partner of ours since day one. They are the best in the business.
As for future plans, Ellen stays very busy raising her seven young children along side her husband Matt, and Bob will be downsizing to a less demanding home close by to his grandchildren. He looks forward to spending his first winter in 25 years, warm and indoors.
