Driving Ben

It's an annual happening....early spring field work.

Every year in the fall after the last hay cutting, we put some of the horses out to graze in the hay field. They usually stay there during the fall and into the winter. Naturally they leave behind a lot of manure piles and in the spring, before the grass begins to grow, the piles have to be busted up. The guys who left the piles behind are the ones who have the honor of pulling the drag to spread the manure piles. This year our young stallion "Ben" was ready for training so he got to get in on all the fun. He is the one in the middle. That's "Ike" on the left and "Gus" on the right. Ike and Gus are brothers and work together well. Ben has been working with them for the last two days and is doing great. I have been the outrider on horseback so I was able to capture some photos. Enjoy.

Approaching Spring

Welcome to my new blog site for Rimrock Cove Ranch, legendary horseback riding facility in the upper Buffalo National River area of the Ozark Mountains.

Winter's ice storm was harsh on our area, but recovery continues. We have been working hard to reopen our trails for guests to enjoy riding again this year. Spring is so close and we always look forward to it... it's fun to see all the wild flowers reappear, each in turn, and to remember their names and where they bloom from year to year. The days will warm and the opportunities for outdoor enjoyment blossom along with the trees and flowers.

Saying "goodbye" to winter soon, I hope to keep you posted on the activities and events at Rimrock Cove for the coming year. Maybe you will want to join us..... visit us at www.buffalorivertrails.com .
