Straight from the horse's mouth
Hi
there, my name is Spritely and
I'm a 30 year old welsh pony. Me and Shady moved to Jaquima
Ranch this last winter in February. Our previous home was
very wet and muddy. Shady had lost a lot of weight too.
I'm not sure why but my friend was definitely looking a
bit blue. Ronaye even came out to visit us once so she knows
what our old home was like.
We're both really glad that
mom decided to move us. Our stalls now open directly to
the turnout so we have a choice of camping out at night
or sleeping inside. The stalls are big and spacious and
the paddocks are nice and dry even when it rains cats and
dogs.
Mom and Ronaye worked really
hard together on Shady's meals too and she's gained back
most of her weight now. She looks great and is bucking and
running again like her old self; she's no spring chicken
either at 27!
Now with the summer months
we're out in the pasture during the day and come in for the
night at dinner time. We're rarely ever locked up and are
given lots of opportunity to roam. Mom tells us she sleeps
better at night knowing that we're safe, comfortable and
well looked after. Ronaye certainly treats us like we're
her own. If you're looking for a new home, come join us.
You won't regret it :)

Hello, my name is My Reason,
and I'm 23 years old. My mom moved me to Jaquima Ranch because
my past two boarding facilities were extremely unsafe. I
admit it...I'm a rebel and get myself in trouble with barbed
wire and other unsafe fencing!
I loved it at Jaquima Ranch!
I had lots of friends, plenty of good quality hay, my nutritional
needs were met, and I was very safe. Mom likes the calm
energy and quiet at the barn (she says this is good for
our mental health), and the fact that there's a toilet at
the barn! I could care less but she raved about it. Silly
human, just do as I do. Easy!
Ronaye was my second mom.
She not only fed and cleaned up after us, she was the one
to put on our fly masks and rain sheets. There were a few
times when my winter blankets soaked through and I was cold
and wet. Ronaye put one of her own blankets on me till mom
repaired my old ones. I was treated like one of her own.
Kisses included!
Mom liked to hang out at
the barn with me. She liked to visit with Ronaye and was
always learning something new. Ronaye was always happy to
share information about nutrition, vet care, or natural
horsemanship. Mom and I started natural horsemanship this
year and we enjoy it because we're able to communicate with
one another, and bond even closer together.
Mom recently bought another horse. My new sister and I are
now at our own home on 2 1/2 acres. We're only five minutes
away and Ronaye comes by to visit! Mom says that Jaquima
Ranch is a little gem and if we were ever to be boarded again,
we'd get sent here! Thank goodness! She only worries that
if that were to happen, there'd be a waiting list...yikes!
One very nice thing resulted
of me staying at Jaquima Ranch for the past seven months,
mom and Ronaye became good friends. HAY...they're horse
people... they're all the same breed!
