In the Tack RoomHere what our employees and volunteers have to say about the ranch and the owners.
Alexandra,
"I love it so bad here!" Here I find a home, a family and I live my dream. I learn a lot about horses and organization. I love working with generous persons for a great cause. All that. With a lot of fun and laugh. I am 20 year old girl who was born in Evionnaz Switzerland. I come to America through the wwoofing program and been working with Jim and Nancy since February 20, 2012. Here, i feed horses and medicine them every morning. We care to keep for them a good place and we concern per their happiness. After that's we have the chance to ride and to work with a lot of different keind of mules, horses, donkey, dogs and a goat really cute and unique "cadeau". (gift in french) Jim, Nancy and all my friends teach me a lot about ranch life. When I first come here, i didn't know anything about horses and with patience and fun they're give me a lot of knowledge. All most every week end we have some trail ride with clients and it's always a great moment of share in a beautiful scenic. We have a very fun times and Nancy is a great cooker, Jim too. I get so sad, I go home back to Switzerland, April 23, 2012. It makes me sad that I have to leave my American family. I'm really sorry if my english is no amazing but I try and Nancy want I write with my words... You're lucky, you don't hear my accent !

This ranch has been my dream become true! Jim and Nancy have almost adopted me as a daughter and they’re took care of me. They're just became my american family, I found there a family who became bigger when some new volunteers arrived. They're all so welcoming and they're really right people. I knew nothing about horses, with patience and humor they taught me everything! I slept in a house with a girl from Georgia, together we had a lot of fun, we learned a lot about our difference, we spend a lot of time together but we still had intimity in same time. So perfect ! I worked with mens and womens in a spirit of support and love of animals. Learn to train horses and mules, horse riding, riding in the forest with customers, care of sick animals or abused, learn English, laugh and laugh, this is the daily life there. I have a important desire to return and return there again. Some months there, is not be enough to me for learn all what Jim and Nancy know about life and horses. More, they are great cook and I was really spoiled! I just left a team of 8 people, I miss them already. Leaving broke my heart, but I know i'll be back and this help me. People of all ages come and work here, a wonderful mix of cultures, histories and generations. SO, just GO THERE ! I’m bless and grateful to have find this ranch, to have meet this wonderful people . I'm in love with this ranch
