ARRIVAL OF NEW MARES

Shepp Ranch got two new mares last week.  Wesley Gregory (one of our hunting guides for bear, elk and mule deer) and Tim Hull rode across the mountains with the new horses and a pack horse.  They camped out up top one night and arrived at about 2 p.m. on Sunday.

The new mares . . . I named the dark one Olivia  ..

It was a  very hot (over 100 degrees) 2 day ride over the mountains. we bring them tall glasses of lemonade when they arrive.  They spend the night and leave around 6 a.m. after a big breakfast to head back.

I follow them up the mountain a ways to get some aerial shots of the River and the ranch.
