Summer Fun
Posted on August 1st, 2010
It’s hard to believe that we are already mid-way through the season. We’ve welcomed so many wonderful guests from around the world during the first half of the season, and are looking forward to welcoming many more over the next few months. To read what our guests have to say about us, check out our testimonials page.
Thanks Ruben
For a month during the summer, we were delighted to have Ruben Burkard working with us. Ruben is from Germany and was on a work experience programme designed to help him improve his English language skills and give him an understanding of the Guest Ranch tourism sector and ranching in general. Ruben experienced a wide variety of tasks at the ranch but we are probably most grateful for all his help in getting the 1,500 bales of hay moved from the neighbouring Mt. Morrisey Ranch to our hay barn. Each bale weighs approximately 60lbs and had to be stacked 8 high to fit into the barn.
Some New Faces
We are also pleased to welcome some new members to the team at Tod Mountain Ranch. Steve Scott, Wrangler, can usually be found around the barn whilst Deanna Weijand takes care of housekeeping. They look forward to meeting you all.
And More New Horses
We have a few more horses at the ranch too. Booster, Red and Slurpy have all recently passed probation and are now regulars out on the trail. Booster is a 16.1hh Bay Gelding and is now one of our lead wrangle horses, Red is a 16hh Red Dun Gelding and Slurpy is a 16hh Buckskin Gelding. Pictured here is Red and Booster being ridden by Wranglers Cheryl and Steve. You can find more photographs of all of our horses here.
If you haven’t already booked your ranch vacation for this year, we do have limited availability throughout August & September. Why not take advantage of our lower rates for the Fall season (from 13th September) and remember we are open for horseback riding right through to 31st October.
