What Happened to June?

Hey folks,
My apologies for missing June - we were just having way too much fun Horsing Around. However, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to tell you about a wonderful ranch we visit on occassion - Sundance Guest Ranch. We had the pleasure again this June of joining some of our friends up there for some great riding, great food and lots of laughs. If you are considering a horsey vacation, I highly recommend a visit to the Ranch. They have horses to accommodate all riding levels from little-to-no experience to experienced riders. The trails are wonderful and the horses like to go fast - lots of galloping. Even though most of the friends we meet up there have their own horses and we are only an hour away from some of the best riding country in the world, we ladies like to go to the Ranch because we don't have to do any of the work. The horses are groomed and saddled and the meals are prepared. While I personally enjoy looking after my own horse, I sure don't mind being served my meals.
Chris Johnson is one of the wranglers, along with his lovely wife Uli who works in the office and we are lucky to call them our friends. You folks who have been out to our place and have met Magic, my hubby's horse - well he bought him from Chris during one of our visits to the Ranch. Magic was Chris' personal horse and we will be forever grateful that we were able to purchase Magic. So any of you who may be thinking of a wonderful horsey getaway - just click on the title of this blog and it will take you to the Sundance Guest Ranch website. You better plan ahead though because it is a popular vacation destination.

p.s. Say hello to Chris and Uli for us.

Stay cool and happy trails,
Tovie & Gord

Tovie, thank you for the lovely comments about Sundance - we always appreciate such great feedback. Thank you also for the "mini clicker training session"! Apart from getting great tips, I always love watching you work with horses. You truly have an amazing talent, the ability to establish a connection, a bond with horses that is really unique - you and the horses clearly know how to communicate with each other. I wish we lived closer together as I would love to learn more from you! For all the folk out there that have an opportunity to take your courses or book a clinic with you - don't miss it, it will enrich your lives!!
