Plenty of fall beauty to see

Here in the beautiful Ozark mountains the fall colors are making a good showing despite dry conditions for most of the summer. The autumn weather is perfect for just about any outdoor activity, but here at Rimrock Cove we tend to favor horseback riding and we hope you will, too. We have plenty of openings in the coming week so give us a call. We will be happy to arrange a guided trail ride for you. 870-553-2556 for reservations.

Morning prep time

Mornings are usually so pretty here. Good thing, because it's time to get ready to go riding. Here are a few shots from our "getting ready to go to work" time of day.

Scenes around Rimrock Cove Ranch

It's August and it has been an incredibly hot summer all over the country, including here. We finally have some rain and relief from the heat. I was out for a ride on my mountain bike and stopped to visit some of the horses. It was so great to finally have clouds and I had to capture that in my photos of 4 month old Cici hanging out with a gelding, Tom.

I turned to go back to my bike after taking the photos above and this is what was going on. The young Suffolk mares are always curious about my bike even though they see me on it often.

Busy Trail Day

There's a wonderful February warm up going on right now and it's a great time to get outdoors. Several guests have come out and enjoyed horseback riding with us in this nice weather. Don't pass up the chance to enjoy a peaceful ride through the countryside. We are also tapping the maple trees right now so there's plenty of fresh maple syrup in the pantry.

Bye Bye Mr Snowman!

Just for Fun

During the busy spring, summer and fall seasons I find it hard to just get out and shoot some photos that are just for fun. Lately, there really hasn't been any excuse. We got a little snow a few days ago here at Rimrock Cove Ranch and Ben (our young stallion) just happened to be outside for the night when the snow came. He got a little excited about breakfast to say the least and wanted to show me how high he could jump. If you think a big ole draft horse can't get some height you've got another thing coming. This boy can get some air... and buck... well, take a look.
