Area couple catches Fall colors

Our Lady of the Arroyo and her man spent Thursday in southwest Colorado and made a 650 mile loop going over the Continental Divide twice—once north of Cuba and again south of Gunnison. This little trip was delayed until the fence was good enough to hold the horses for 24 hours and it worked! Fall colors were spectacular but the 16 hour drive took a toll on shoulders and hips as unanticipated road construction delays south of Ouray and west of Gunnison heaped nearly two hours onto our schedule.

Wild Horses of Red Rock

After consulting with the Horse Shelter and an equine veterinarian Donnamarie and Larry have decided that the best way to protect ten free-roaming horses is to keep them in their care. Forage is scarce and the only water available is from wells on their property so the four mares that will foal very soon will be safe, well cared for and as wild as possible. About fifteen acres is fenced with horse-safe wire but the gate is always open so the herd can come and go as they please. The couple has been buying hay and so far that is working but the three stallions need to be gelded and that is expensive so we're asking you to pony up to help defray the cost.
