Arbalette Castle Ranch

This type of work.. by local clubs and trails councils makes all the difference in success for easy open access for equestrians... and heck.. they are building a new gigantic trail which isn't all bad right... support them... join for 25. and find out what else you can do to encourage this kind of thing... WE LOVE this group... http://www.goldcountrytrailscouncil.org/

We wish Uma Oneil the very best of luck at the Olympics. We have one of her earlier horses Tavi retired with us here. This is a great article on Uma's journey.

so excited that Uma O'Neill who has one of her horses 'Tavi' retired with us is now on the main squad for the Olympics (New Zealand).... fingers crossed!!!

It has been the most amazing spring... and now summer approaches as the green fades... The retirement herd is happy, healthy and loving the long days and search for the last of the green here and there. We will have room for 4 in the fall so keep us in mind for all your retirement show horse needs. We are former professionals, offer daily hands on checks, daily lunch and take no more than 25 on our beautiful 400 acre ranch. Trainer references are required.

A beautiful first day of spring at Arbalette Ranch...

spring is here and it is wonderful... retirement horses are fat happy and fuzzy....

We are always so grateful to our friends and clients. Our Show Horse Retirement Business continues to thrive and we love the fact that the horses 'get to just be a horse' with their buddies (we only take 25!) .... all hanging out on 400 acres of freedom and grass with daily supervision! We are looking forward to 2021 and wish all a Happy Holiday season...

Fall is here and it is beautiful... Our retired guys travel from hay pile to hay pile... (maybe the next one IS better?) ... we love this tranquil time of the year before the rains... We offer show horse retirement on 400 acres supervised daily by former horse show professionals...daily checks, we only take 25 horses, trainer reference required.

Congrats to Uma O'Neil on her win. We have Tavi, who belongs to Uma, retired here at Arbalette. Tavi is the best guy, loves his life here just eating grass and hanging with buddies. he also knew his way around a jump or two...:-)

the first feel of fall today.... and FINALLY less smoke! Heading to the creek for a drink...

This was taken just before the fires in california 30 days ago... ah... retirement horses are missing the clean air with no smoke....

This is a good article.... Good pasture management is everything. We have cattle at Arbalette part of the year that eat all the grasses the horses don't want to eat... it works... (and this is not a pic of our ranch.. lol)
