We wanted to share a happy story of how Halo found a new home! Halo has been both a Cowboy and guest horse for us for a couple of seasons. After some time, we realized he might be better suited for a different kind of job, so we brought Halo to a local horse auction where he was purchased by a wonderful girl!![]()

Her mom later texted us and said, "She saved her own money for months to save up for a horse and we didn't think we would find a horse at the auction, but it was a dream come true for her and we are so happy that she found him."![]()

We are so happy the Halo was able to find a home with a wonderful family! The ranch was also able to pick up a few new horses for guests and cowboys to use as well at the auction. Often times, horse auctions have a bad connotation. Therefore, it is important to us to share this story and our experience with auctions. Many, many good, healthy, useful horses are purchased at auctions that live out wonderful lives either working or being pets. Stay tuned for info about the new horses as we get to know them and their personalities!

Although it can be saddening to see the dead pines in the forested area of the ranch and many other areas of California, there is hope and new growth. Hoping these will be future Christmas trees one day!
