Our Ranch Sign

You enter our ranch on Shake Ridge Road. Our sign got pretty close to the county snow plow's pile!

Top of our Driveway

Mike's got his quad and plow to tackle the driveway - this has been pretty much a daily occurrence and the snow is piling up. The road ends up being pretty narrow at the top after plowing - no room for horse trailers!

Plowing down the road

It's the good 'ol California Snot Snow! Turns to ice as the temperature isn't warming enough to melt it!

Bottom of Drive before plow

Here's the view from the middle part of our driveway as it heads up the hill - notice the tracks. Our local deer herds keep busy at night.

Looking out from our Barn

We need to pole vault over the pile of snow that falls off the barn roof!

Horses enjoying breakfast

And the sun! Our horses have nice winter coats and with shelters located at various locations around the paddock, they have the opportunity to get out of the weather by their own choice.

Paddock munching

Horse groups are munching their breakfast. They will all head for the sunniest spot as soon as nap times arrives soon after breakfast
