Stables

Winter doesn’t slow things down on a ranchette — if anything, it demands more. When icy weather rolled in and the roads were covered in slick conditions, there was no option to stay home. The animals still needed care, and that meant heading out to the stables no matter what. This visit to the barn turned into one of those days that tests both patience and endurance.

After a sudden emergency sent him to the vet for three long days, Diesel is finally home — and this episode takes you along for the full update, the mare drama, and a whole lot of ranch chaos that only Ranchette Dreams can deliver. Let’s jus

Some mornings start quietly… and some mornings end with a brand-new horse standing in your barn. This one definitely wasn’t quiet. I began the day the way I usually do — walking the dogs by the lake, enjoying the cool air, and squeezing in a little video editing. Nothing unusual. Nothing suspicious. Nothing that would suggest I was in for a large surprise! But the moment Karine came home later with that look  on her face… I knew something was coming. What I didn’t know was th
