Horses are well suited to dealing with winter weather conditions. Left to their own devices in a natural state, horses will find adequate shelter, generate warmth by herding together, forage for appropriate food, and seek out open water to drink.
Spring is around the corner we will be moving the horses from the winter pastures back to the ranch.
Join us for the spring horse drive.
